I don’t want to say such pessimistic words, but I am very concerned about the future development of the Age of Mythology. I think that the Age of Mythology should at least achieve the following goals in order for this game to be considered complete.
1.Add a fourth main god to all civilizations
Here is the deity that I think is more suitable as the fourth main deity of the remaining civilization’s pantheon:
Greek
The main god： Moirai
The Lesser God: Kharites/Charites - Horai - Erinyes
I know this is not the best choice, but the separation of powers among the Greek gods makes it difficult to design a new main god. However, even Zeus cannot change the power of the goddess of fate, so I believe they have the ability to become the main gods of Greece.
Atlanteans
The main god： Chaos
The Lesser God: Erebus - Eros - Tartaros
Egyptian
I am not familiar with Egyptian mythology, and like most players, I also prefer choosing Amun as the fourth main god of the Egyptian pantheon, or choosing Osiris as the fourth main god of Egypt, and then redesigning a Lesser god.
Chinese
The main god： Pangu（The Creator God in Chinese Mythology）
The Lesser God：Chang Xi（The Moon God in Chinese Mythology）- Xi He（The Sun God in Chinese mythology）- Di Jun（The King of the Gods in Early Chinese Mythology）
Japanese
The main god：Kotoamatsukami(The Creator God of Japanese Mythology)
The Lesser God: Izanagi(The Father God in Japanese Mythology) - Izanami(Mother God in Japanese Mythology) - kagutsuchi (The god of fire in Japanese mythology)
2.Join the Indian Pantheon and Aztec Pantheon
Regarding the Indian pantheon, the three main deities are Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.And I think that Sakti (As a female deity embodying cosmic energy in Indian mythology) can be appointed as the fourth main deity of India.I am not familiar with Aztec mythology, but I should add a pantheon of American civilization to the game.
3.Every main god should have a unique Titan,We should create a unique Titan for each main god.
4.We must anticipate that some civilizations’ pantheons will not be Join the game, so my idea is to incorporate these civilizations’ pantheons as neutral forces into the game, such as Celtic mythology, Maya mythology, Inca mythology, Hebrew mythology, Mesopotamia, Yoruba mythology, Maori mythology, etc, as allied neutral civilizations.
5.The most ideal version of the Age of Mythology
I know I can’t expect too much, but this is the final version of the Age of Mythology that I truly look forward to and want to see
(1)Regarding the other two lost civilizations, Lemuria and Mu continent
Just like Greece and Atlantis, my idea is to use the Vedic mythology in Indian mythology as the pantheon of Lemuria, with Indra, Agni, Varuna and Yama as the main gods, and then use the Taoism mythology in Chinese mythology as the pantheon of the Mu continent, with the Three Pure Ones, Yuánshǐ Tiānzūn (The Primeval Lord of Heavenly), Daode Tianzun (The Taoist supreme deity of the way) , Tai Shang Lao Jun (Lord LaoZi) , Jade Emperor, as the main gods. Although these legends may not be true, I think they will definitely be very interesting, and it will be easier to make than designing a brand new Pantheon.
(2)Kesuluwan Temple
I like the Cthulhu myth very much. If the Cthulhu myth can be added to the Age of Mythology, it would be really cool. My idea is that we can design a geocentric civilization, and we don’t need to design language for this geocentric civilization, because it is said that the underground people use telepathic communication, then let the Cthulhu Pantheon be the gods of the geocentric civilization, and finally take the monsters in folklore, such as Bigfoot, Lizard Man, Ness Lake Monster, Mothman , werewolf and vampire, as the mythological units of the geocentric civilization and Cthulhu Pantheon.
To be honest, I don’t know if the final production team of the campaign of Heavenly spear hinted at our new Pantheon, but I really don’t want the Japanese Pantheon to be the last DLC of the Age of Mythology.
