Hi, there!
Its really fun to be back playing age of mythology. But there are some things I wish could be done different, and it’s actually something very easy to fix too:
Game speed settings!
Me and my friends are used to playing starcraft which is very fast paced compared to Age of Mythology. We are aware of the Lightning game-mode, but that’s unfortunately not possible to play in ranked.
The “Fast” game speed is also WAY too fast. That game speed should be called something like faster or fastest. It would be great if we have one or two speeds in-between.
Also! Very missed opportunity here! When me and my friend queued up for deathmatach last evening we were expecting to start with a few more resources or something else minor to kickstart the game a bit faster. We were VERY surprised when we were playing a ranked game where we start with all techs and 20k in each resource. I can hardly imagine that this is a very popular ranked format at all.
If you the developers could make different game speeds available in ranked, and rework deathmatch (or outright replace it with lightning), I am sure you would have a cater to way much more people, be it veteran RTS players or players with not enough time to play 1 hr+ matches.
This would be a dream come true…
