What would you like to see in Myth Retold?

The question is if it’s supposed to be a good healing feature or more of a side effect of a resource stealing feature.

Greeks are designed around not having good healing options.

[kjohnhayes]

Well probably both. I would argue that if that is Colossus’ only special feature he should at least be good at it.

It’s disappointing to me that, among the Chinese wildlife that the new DLC is going to add (as shown by their availability in the editor and their already having entries in the Compendium), tigers don’t seem to be present. You would think that, considering all the tiger-based MUs as well as one infantry unit named after tigers, that tigers would be present as actual wildlife in the Chinese DLC. Could these be added in an update to the DLC sometime after launch?

Probably…the post-release DLC patch is still missing…

@kjohnhayes

1. Rethink the stealth visual. It looks pixilated. Can’t the units become semi-transparent?

Sure, like AoE 3…

@Skadidesu

But the Colossus can eat the enemies gold mine.

Also trees are very abundant on most maps.

@kjohnhayes

Yes, but on the off chance you are in your base you want him to heal quickly. I suppose the best balancing check would be to see who heals faster: Colossus or Vermilion Bird? If Vermilion Bird can heal to full health in less time and for free, then it is time to boost Colossus. There is also the issue that his only special attack is very underwhelming.

Yes, the healing of the Colossus is more circumstantial and when they are not in combat… for example, you have a handful of Colossus that in a hallway fought with several human units and were left half-wounded, you take advantage of the fact that they are not fighting and you put them to eat trees (although they eat them very quickly) and the best thing is, large gold mines of 6000 that can last a while until they eat them whole and recover all their life…

Just completely random and off topic. But I finally figured out from where @Vumie3404 profile pic is from!
For everyone interested in animes: it’s from
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventures (a pretty damn freaky but very creative anime)

And back to the topic: I would, at best, (still) like to see at least one upgrade for each myth unit which is visible. (at best with golden trim/jewellery/armor/scales especially since military champion line upgrades are still golden and not like… iron as you would think. Would be awesome. any design decision you make I trust you guys you have a good taste just do it please! x))

I hope we eventually get a option to Disable Wonders that is what I want so much for when playing Comp Stomps is no Wonder games.

Visual upgrade indicators for human and myth units, return of the Greek Cataphract for editor purposes at least, return of villager shore fishing but as a toggle or for editor purposes
Port of some old beta units like Golem, Trollkarien, etc.
ALSO the return of Khopesh, Bogsveigir, Hippocrates, etc. at least for scenario editor use

Although I like Draugar’s special ability, brining back Trollkariens as deer men archer you could harvest food from when dead would have been cool too

[kjohnhayes]

I would like to see Cyclops and Argus get their instant kills back. Since Toatie gets one, I don’t see why they couldn’t have theirs. Argus melting units with acid was really awesome 20 years ago. The modern one’s definitely isn’t as cool currently (oh wow, another aoe special attack that can be avoided. How unique… yes, sarcasm )
