It mentions a new “wonder age”, which will allow to use god powers more often. they don’t say more about it unfortunately, but now I’m very curious about what this new age is going to be.
Will this be equivalent to the imperial age in aoe3? Will this add new upgrade tier for armory and/or unit lines? Maybe this will allow to increase the max pop even further?
Also would this mean a new set of minor gods for wonder age? (I doubt it to be honest)
The way I understand it is that basically we will have an extra age to advance into that let us use more of our god powers at lower price (can’t remember them costing anything before) so perhaps there is a new mechanic that way it’s balanced with a cost (makes sense).
As for choosing a new lesser god that comes with extra stuff like the previous ages, they don’t mention it, and I think it’s because the wonder age is just for the powers and nothing else. But who knows, perhaps there is more they don’t tell us.
Yeah, personally I don’t think we’ll have to choose another god in order to access wonder age. It will probably just give powerful upgrades, such as favor cost reducing for god powers, maybe shorter cooldowns, etc…
What I’m hoping they do is let us select our major god for the Wonder Age. So that age is dedicated to the god whose been in the background of each age
AoM already had the Age of Titans which simply just unlocked the Titan. It was kind of a strange concept.
They probably just reworked that into a real new age.
They also implied that “everything gets cheaper” in the Wonder Age. Not sure if that only refers to God Powers or also to Myth units or even normal units.
It didn’t sound like the Imperial Age in AoE3 where all the units get significantly stronger and the economy gets a massive boost too.
I think maybe its like revolution vs impirial in aoe3 in a sense of giving you additional options for “endgame” gameplay (though i dont think they will limit you to choosing only one like in aoe3).
So titan sucrifices villigers uptime for a strong short term millitery boost, and wonder age is more of a long term invest that has focus on god powers. Kinda replacing the wonder which is usually banned.
Yea we are saying the same thing, what I ment is that you will have to choose what you do with the limited resource and time you have but I dont belive it will be an exclusive choice.
Maybe it will make titans a bit more balanced as there is another strong investment for the time and resource. So if someone goes titan you can just go wonder age rather than race to titan or try to defeat them before the titan comes out.
indeed it’s cause of the wonder. maybe you unlock wonder age by building a wonder and the wonder reduces the godpowers cost drastically and if you destroy the wonder the player gets higher costs again. (and you only optionally win the game after a certain amount of time via wonder) thoughts?
There are three options on how they can do a 5th age from what I can see. (1) pick from X amount of minor gods plus some unique mechanics/tech open to those that reach this far. (2) This new age gives you a bonus/unique tech/etc. depending on your major god or pantheon. (3) Everyone has access to the same goodies as everyone else who gets this far.
