Yes, I think it will be:
2026: Aztecs and Incas
2027: Baylonians/Persians and Persians/Indians
2028: Celts and Slavs
2029: Yoruba and Bantu
2030: Lemurians (aka Dravidians) and Muans (aka Polynesians)
Time to make a poll again after the Aztec DLC dropped.
Did you make that map and those icons?
Maybe Tengrists in general so that some Mongol units can appear too?
Is it me, or not a single Aztec myth unit gets a visual change when upgrades? Aside from a personal joy of watching new models, It is useful to know against ‘what’ you are dealing. I mean, it’s not the same killing a Maquizcoatl (two headed snake) with spearmans if it’s gonna explode when you kill it.
Only a few units showed minor changes after upgrading, and compared to the previous pantheons, the developers clearly cut corners in this area.
I hope that in Gauntlet mode, we can have more legends available. I’d also like all co-op modes to include a matchmaking option so players can be paired with random teammates. Gauntlet mode should offer more game variants, similar to StarCraft II’s co-op mode. I believe this game’s PvE potential is much greater than its PvP potential. If designed well, the developers could even make money by selling skins for legends and by running related events to keep daily active users engaged. But as things stand now, it doesn’t seem like the developers are putting much emphasis on the PvE side.
They could be like the Mongols and Golden Horde from AoE 4 but with mythical units…
Aztecs needs some buffs. Make the warrior priests stronger and make it so you can reincarnate them into your major god multiple times. Also they need to earn favor faster
Age of Mythology is my favorite in the franchise, but the fact that Worlds Edge cut rewards seems to me a sign that the game will slowly be sidelined. If we get anything, it will be an addition to the Egyptian pantheon and, in the best-case scenario – if the fans pressure them – a Mesopotamian pantheon.
rewards = Championships prize pool
If you are using Original Voices Mod the In-Game Hero voices should be the Original if you’re on the Legacy Champaign’s FoTT, TGG, TNA, and use Retold voices for the Chinese, Japanese and Aztecs when the Original Heroes appear.
Like add a Flag that check’s if you’re on the Original Three champaign’s, If *True* the Heroes will use the Select, Move and other VO from the Original Game, If *False* use Retold’s instead, for more flexibility make it an option to toggle between Legacy and Retold’s Unit Voice Over.
Obsidian Mirror introduced the three new major gods as units, too. Very cool. It would be awesome if the major gods of the other pantheons were also available as units (only some of them are so far).
I wish. Having more god units would be so cool.
Having at least a statue for all minor gods would be awesome.
Although it is a little weird having them in unit form like a normal hero who can die makes them look weak, Major gods they are supposed to be objects of worship and intervene through powers and not directly in the field.
The previous instances like Kronos, Gaia, Osiris or Chiyou and big and all-powerful being who can’t be killed normally
Why not?
In a lot of those religions gods where a lot more down to earth an in a lot of myths they were literally supposed to be on the ground next to their followers.
The Norse gods weren’t even immortal, they had to eat a magic fruit to not die.
Yeah but the dynamic in this game is more Empires Building and God acting through and helping with powers and blessings from afar, not Hero unit who dies in the field against a common mortal soldier and waits to be uplifted again.
This is not like Smite MOBA, this is an RTS.
That’s why you can’t train them in multiplayer (unless you count the Titans).
But why not let them be there in a campaign or at least custom scenario. Some battles are important enough that the gods have to go fight themselves. In some mythologies mortal are able to injure of even kill gods so why not allow that to happen in the game too.
That would be expecting a lot of unlikely work from the devs in detailed models of every god just for Scenario editor units. They haven’t even done a unique Titan for each god, which would be more visible in Skirmish mode.
The Statues I could see more viable if you put four “slots” in Temples and Town Centers and add a new Statue with each age up
