I’m pretty happy with whatever they put out. Another choice I see a somewhat high likelyhood of coming up would be an indian civ expansion, as India also has a rich mythology and is a market that is I would assume worthy to tap into/appeal to.
I would love greek heroes rework giving all heroes some hability just as chinese and japanese. Ajax could be like in campaing, Atalanta having like a “sprint” to attack “like Yazi”, etc..
Feels unfair how limited greek and eggy are about heroes while China has spammable ranged heroes, 5 sages which are “priests” that copy you MU while stunning yours, and then special heroes with AoE damage and some habilities..
Also, I don’t think Chinese are that fun without classical age cav and a bunch of archers.. I would love some rework.
That being said, I would love some civ like Inca / Maya / Astecz, Meso or India. Before that, I hope they fix pathing, units getting stuck in obstacles and performance.
It’s weird how this DLC “brought” back some problems ..
About new Pantheons, they can even take more than 1-2 years if they put the same love and quality they put in both asian ones. Amazing job.

I think this is how it will go: They will be working on an Aztec (or mayan… IDK I just saw one of these was super popular. I am really not into these stuff…). But not now, I feel like what they will be doing is that the team will get a break, Start working on 4th major gods (since it is easier) and then start completing Aztecs.
And I think they have no plans for any further content besides that. They will just fix the game and leave as it is. (which I like tbh)
I hope they wont stop with Aztecs there are still the Slavs, Vedics, Celtics, Yoruba, Sumerian, Filipino, Korean, Inuit, Native Americans etc. So much more my wallet is ready for all pantheons to be in-game.

They are very in tune with their audience based on the outcome of their announcement. Two tops picks in this poll are what we are getting 
I’d prefer other civ’s over Aztecs, but clearly I stand alone in that opinion! I’m happy they make retold a fan project. It’ll keep it alive for a long time hopefully

A patch that fixes ALL the broken sound mods, like legacy unit voicelines, music etc.
I would like to see hinduism in aom but i doubt it would happen because it would stir up a lot of controversy.
What I would like to see in 2026 for the game is a UX/UI overhaul
Is so souless, cluttered and uncohesive
I’m not sure, but maybe it would be less risky if it was primarily based on the ancient predecessor (Vedic religion) of Hinduism, with architecture comparable to that of the Puru in AoE2 Chronicles, as it appeared more than two millennia ago? Anyone here who is familiar with the subject?

Tengrists, so that we can have mammoths as a unit.
Fun Fact: In Tengriism, there is a kind of mythologized memory of the disappearance of the mammoths. It is claimed that when Kaia banished Erlig to the 9th layer of the underworld, after a heavenly war; he dragged the mammoths along with him, to have livestock down there, and placed a curse that makes them freeze any time they try to escape back to the surface.
The Turkic peoples of Siberia are the ones who have the most vibrant and colorful mythology. They continue to revere the mystical spirits of Tengrism and believe in their legends to this day. Dolgans living in the Arctic region of far northern Siberia, for example, came upon mammoth carcasses during their nomadic journeys. On Earth, these species haven’t melted in almost 10,000 years. The mammoths were taken to the underworld by Erlik, the lord of the underworld, according to the Dolgans, so that they could serve him. These mammoths have always been locked in the underworld, and those who attempted to return to the surface were frozen to death and buried as punishment. The bodies of the mammoths they have encountered from time to time will be half buried and half thrown away.
Hopefully they add a classic mode to make the game play more like old AoM or at the very least add a option to disable wonders in a lobby game finally.
