Well i cant say you are wrong but i dont think this would make gold based pantheons like egypt invincible at least they could add militia type units or better market rates with the upgrades.
Would not matter to Just gold heavy pantheons, any late game god that turtle would benefit. Unlike aoe theres no stone in aom. Gold has a dual function that its not in other aoe games. And theres myth units in aom that dont consume gold.
The food/wood unit would skew certain match ups depending on if its infantry, archer or calv. Specially on aom where god powers and timings are so strong would make some of the really easy acess and get the snowball going.
Ofc its not gonna make anything invincible, but it would bring more harm than good.
As for the market rates, its Hard to make them better. You cant go much further without having positive trade interactions for certain gods wirh relics bonus on top (that suggestion was brought on the balance server before) . You could make them Cheaper to get thou.
On a second thought, for the greeks, a four god o goddess in this case would be Athena (the minor one would be replaced by Palas, the closest one to Athena). That because of her relevance in the whole mythology
I think one minor thing that would be nice as part of some minor aesthetic overhaul is to give Regents Unique models as I feel for a unit that is meant to be used by all factions it needs a more unique look per faction even if they are modified versions of pre-esisting or unused units instead of something custom tailored.

After the Japanese DLC, I’d love to see more 4th gods for base game pantheons, new pantheons, and justice for Magumo, in that order. Mythical battles with 4th gods, of course.

I would like to see a visual update for the Greeks, Egyptians, Norse, and Atlanteans, especially in their human and myth units. This would bring them up to the same level as the Chinese and Japanese, whose designs look much more impressive and powerful.
I would also love to see the addition of more pantheons, including fan favorites like the Aztecs and Babylonians.
Also some Q&A sessions from the devs would be cool.

When you kill a Titan, you automatically receive a random relic in your Temple.

Create a type of water that has no waves — for example, I want to make a calm river, lake, or pond. No matter which type of water I choose, it has waves.

Wild animals like wolves need improvement or additional animations. You may have noticed that wolves stand like they’re taxidermy animal — they stay on their feet for hours. There should be an animation where the wolf sits or lies down, lasting about 6–7 seconds.Wolves Unit also need additional UnitSoundSets, because they have only one repeating sound.

When a villager starts chopping a tree and hits it with an axe, leaves should fall from the tree. Add a falling leaves effect/animation.

When my trade carts go to, for example, Player 3 and then back to the market, Player 3 should receive 1% of that gold.
-
When the Norse Gods activate Fimbulwinter, the enemy player’s food gathering speed is slowed down by 5%

Add an option where you can buy or earn a new statue model that stands above Settlements. For example, if you win 10 matches in a row, you get a new statue skin/model. Developers should create 10–15 different models, like Greek statues, etc.

Developers should create fun maps. For example, a map where two players play. Their temporary base is in the middle of the map, surrounded by very strong walls that were attacked by enemy units every 30 seconds. The enemy gets stronger and stronger. There are 50 waves, and your task is to survive all of them. Inside those walls, you have all the resources. After 10–15 waves, flying units appear. The last wave brings Titans.
-
If the wall gate has less than 50% HP, it cannot be opened until it is repaired.
-
Watch Towers should have some ground texture
-
Add a description for each AI character. When I “hover” the mouse cursor over them, a small window with the description should appear.

Create a simple AI chat system where you can command the AI player (Command to attack a specific player, command to send you resources, command to return to base, command to use god power at a specific place and time, command to build a mini base next to yours, command to tell it to play as a defender, attacker, etc., and so on.) A simple chat AI system where the AI player sends messages. For example, if the enemy has low resources, the AI sends a message like: “Your end is near” or “I don’t think you have any chance to stay in the game,” and so on. In situations where the AI is attacking a specific player, it sends a message to allied players like: “I’m attacking Player 3” or “Attack Player 3, my units are on their way to him,” etc.When a friendly AI player has low resources or is under attack, it should send a message like: “Please help me, I need additional resources, I’m losing the game,” or “I’m under attack, I need support!”

The marketing team should consider the idea of selling 3D models or toys of AoM units, or trading cards, or books that contain descriptions and images of all units — essentially, the full content of the game.

It would be great if it were either officially released or if someone made a mod to give the camera the zoom and angle changes it has in Dawn of War, especially the angle changes. I know you can do it in the editor, but it would be great if it were available in standard games.
Imagine seeing your favorite civilization so close.
Or from so high (although in reality the DoW DE camera is not as far away as the Retold one).

Please allow us to change unit formation for Norse army without having to switch to combat commands menu. Or add us an option to switch the default tab from building tab to combat tab.
You can via hotkeys if im not mistaken
I just double checked, You can’t. The hotkeys will only work if you have the combat tab open while selecting ur units. I wouldn’t mind changing tabs if the default tab was the military tab and I needed to hit another hotkey to change to building tab.
I have spread formation on Ctrl+C and it isn’t working. There are so many buttons to press in AoM Retold that I think it would really be helpful to have a seperate tab for buildings even on other pantheons. Also allowing double keyed hotkeys would be so helpful.

This is actually a nice approach!
