Game: Age of Mythology Retold

[gumhoy]

Making an Army out of all Myth Units is basically the plot of Gargarensis, the Villain from the Main Campaign
Spirit of the Lwa thirsts for untimely divine power.

Resign here essentially means give up. So he wanted to give up and you didn't let him, so now he'll fight to the death. Then you chose to give up. So that counts as a defeat for you.

17:28 Well, all the arrows are aiming at the log they're carrying. The 2 guys are just holding it, but that log would take a ton of arrows before it fell apart. It's the thing doing the damage, so obviously you'd go for the log first, then the 2 guys!

5:46 "You never get housed in this game"
14:11 A clever cut to not show getting housed, but population says 90/90! x)

If Spirit makes videos like he always do analizing but with AoM i'll see every one of them.

Always remember to Lightning Bolt the Ganondorf

I really hope this game lives up to my impossibly high and nostalgia-biased expectations!!!

[jaythedub]

Please please please cover Age of Mythology the same way you cover Age2. It would give you more content and possibly bring more people to the Myth community. Also I would love to see the math behind the math of this game.

Another way to "artificially" push the game towards the late-game/age 4 level would be to set up a big map with 2-4 AI opponents and a treaty time, takes the edge off early raid pressure and allows you to jump into the action already at age 3 or 4

Love watching people enjoy aom, this felt very wholesome

[Colderslave]

Thank you for covering AoM! I'll keep hoping for more!

[helljack]

Amazing to see you covering AoM! Looking forward for more on this game :D

[_z_]

Wow exactly what I was looking for, commentary on everything you do and need, Im a new player so this is very helpful, thank you

[wlodolw]

I love how it feels very different from aoe2, but at the same time very familiar.

[vallytine]

Here's your random AoM fun fact for the day: The name chosen by the Greek AI in this match is Ithaca, which in Homer's Epics, was the home and kingdom of Odysseus, who we know in the campaign as being the one Arkantos helps build the Trojan Horse for.

[maxmichalik]

Looking forward to you doing deep dives into gods and individual units.

17:54 I think making them expensive was a good idea since they are rare and keep their mythical status and you’re soldiers would become in awe when they see one fighting alongside them or against them

[GatochanBolivia]

THIS GAME HAS UNITED MANY LEGENDS IN THE RTS GENRE ALREADY :'D AND IM SO HAPPY

[eggscheese]

A super good feature is that you can set the AI Difficulty for each player. AOE2 could adopt this aswell. This way you can do 2v2 practice without the AI on your side just destroying the other two.

_Let's ease into things a little bit by playing against Titan difficulty AI._

How I wish I could say that sentence unironically
