A native american civ whether Aztecs or whoever is what I wanna see the most

:+ D

27:02 I've been saying this for so long

I enjoyed this a lot except for you calling Xenoblade not important especially considering you left fox on there

Antio

FIRST!!

If they did Abrahamic I would like them to have the 'convert enemy' mechanic that has been used for priests in AoE and simmilar. Tweaked of course. It's both an 'Age game' staple, a unique way to play and it fits the theme, missionaries is a big thing, as is converting, done a bit differently but still.

The aborginial dreamtime myths would be really cool to see in AoM.

Missed this one due to some stuff going on, but i will rewatch it bc why not

I feel like instead of the major gods being angels which I don't think Christians would ever worship, it would be better to do father, son and holy spirit which are more like different aspects of god. the holy spirit would be about healing, buffing and tech, the son would be about human units and father will be about god powers. I also think it would be cool to incorporate historical figures as minor gods such as Richard the lionheart, Charlamagne, Joan of arc etc. instead of myth units they get unique human/hero units such as crusaders and paladins

Etimos

What about Lovecraftian Myths ? That would be crazy

Prostagma

):( D ITS TIME

I too want to see Adeleine come back and be an important part of the series. I would love if the next game made her a playable character and give her a side story with her and Ribbon go on a painting adventure.

Chinese, Indian, heck even Roman Pantheon.

If you like this and you like turn based strategy too, check out a game called Dominions 6 which is pretty awesome.

I want the Celtic pantheon.... So bad. It fits better with the original. China is so off the wall and doesn't make sense, I kinda hated them adding that. If they add India I'm out.

what about just go beyond, like making fictional creatures and let them fight these earthly mythology entities, like imagine arkantos fighting Lovecraftian monster like cthulhu and etc, so we are not locked behind what we know from history (It's myth after all) The ideas and imagination is endless and limitless

some of this ideas are way too ambitious for this devs, but im ready to be proven wrong.

I watched this entire video on TV, then spent a painful amount of time looking for it on my phone as I did not remember the title or your channel name. And I just want to say: your ideas are awesome. *AND SOMEONE, GIVE THIS MAN A VIDEOGAME DEVELOPMENT STUDIO!* and also an infinite budget. Seriously though, your idea for an Abrahamic faction is so unique! I can think of literally nothing else like it!

Very well said and thoughtful. There are so many civs and myths that have yet to be explored in this series. Although, I wonder... what happens if the monotheistic civ fights another faction of the same civ. You've planned this out with the monotheistic civ fighting outsiders, but it's already a set precedent that opposing teams can be of the same civ. Greeks fighting Greeks, Egyptians fighting Egyptians, and Norse fighting Norse. That was all there in the original game campaign. Thus the result of that would be two monotheistic teams fighting each other. Both sides aided by angels and demons? Both would combat heavenly units and hellish opponents. A conflict that ceases to be black and white despite the presence of icons that represent an objective divide between good and evil. A strange sight to behold. But this game is about myths being objectively true in the world. So, it's not the oddest thing we've seen here. I would love to see it included in the game.

SUBSCRIBED!!!!! YOU ARE AWESOME

THIS IDEA ABOUT THE ABRAHAMIC FACTION IS SOMETHING I HAVE NEVER HEARD, O MY GOD WHAT A GOOD IDEA

You killed it with Abrahamic faction, i HAVE NEVER HEARD OR THOUGH SOMETHING LIKE THIS, ITS A MAGNIFICENT IDEA

Coming from someone who wants to eventually dive into how I view religion and stuff similar to it like spirituality in my works, I LOVE THIS! Legit the only reason why I want to stay away from stuff like Heaven is simply due to me not wanting to tell people what morals to follow and how to live their lives...... but I'm still including Pagan deities in my verse because I like the idea of them being angels who wanted to fuck around with the humans and ended up forming religions as a result. Actually, now I am kinda curious about doing a story centered entirely around how a religion forms, especially when you're like me and have a triangle of power systems to work with...... will keep in mind. Side note but that Jesus idea is genius and I LOVE videos like this. Good luck with college king!

1:23 well the "vikings", (which is a stupid term as it's commonly used. It's like calling all Romans the gladiators. Rant out.) weren't wearing horned helmets. However the people living in Scandinavia during the Bronze Age where Greek and Egyptian mythology takes place did wesr horned helmets. At least according to contemporary iconography. So in a weird way it's actually accurate for norse people to wear horned and winged helmets in a mythological setting in the Bronze Age.

Factions I'd love to see, Aztec or maso Amercian, Celt, Slavic, Japan, Oceania's ( peoples like Maori, Hawaiian that kind of people) Philippines/ south East Asia. Because dame they gut a lot of weird shit people are sleeping on myth and cryptid wise. Africa south/ Central And maybe something for native Americans and aboriginal. Just not a lot of their mythology creatures have been preserved in the same other ancient peoples have. I wouldn't really want to see any of the monotheism gods or abramic.the factions should stick with pathionions.

I would like a sub-saharan civ for one of the expansions

If they add native Americans, I’d prefer seminoles

Honestly, I really hope that they add more and more Civs into the game. Maybe not too much to make the game a bit overwhealming. Or perhaps adding campaigns with new civs as well, But Im really glad they're redoing the Chinese Expansion. That was a shit show I had to uninstall it because it just broke the game lmao.

An Israelite Campaign would be fun if it's done right.

Going to be honest with the whole 'offended' point. Only one I ever saw in regards to Hindu being used (happened in smite) is when people (who I'm not even sure play said game, and am almost sure weren't Hindu themselves) got offended about one of the Hindu goddesses (Kali I think it was) being practically naked in game. Despite her being commonly depicted thus in Hindu depiction. As for the entire point about people being offended by part of their religion being depicted, I point to christianity and literally any depiction of heavenly angels and hellish demons/devils, those are so common these days and nobody cares that its not faithfully represented in the best light... Okay not nobody, but those who do are often seen as being way too into it even by fellow christians. Same with Djinns (... think its muslim. And I'm going to butcher this as my knowledge of Islam is tiny), nobody really cares or speaks out about their demons being depicted as scantily clad elemental babes/strongmen. Or at least I've NEVER heard of any controversy about such which wasn't part of feminists screeching about how girls in video games should be ugly because it otherwise encourages rape and unrealistic expectations. Hell Naga ARE Hindu, yet never heard a word of protest about them being used whereever. Or the Rakshasa. Or any version of elephant people who are probably based off Ganesh(a?). Honestly I just think the entire 'point' is incredibly overblown for what it is, and used as justification for decisions it really shouldn't be.

Christians should have a timer that at one point invokes sunday, in which their villagers are not allowed to work and their soldiers not allowed to fight. If you succesfully get through sunday without working and fighting, you will gain favor.

I think it would be cool if they used the cthulhu mythos as a pantheon to spice things up later when they make more, the mod sold me on how cool and fun it was(the eldritch mod).

Hebrew DLC with moses when?

It would be cool if they put Muhammad in but let’s be honest they wouldn’t dare, very convenient and selective “diversity and representation”.

Fantastic video, for an amazing game! Would love to see more AoM content!

that abrahamic faction sounds so amasing ! i wuld love to see a full "pantheon" idea video about it. greate job man !

There is mod on Aztec already. Perhaps they could take it from that guy.

Abrahamic are the strongest stats wise? Did you ever even read what Hindu gods are capable of in their mythology? Jesus and Yahweh can go packing. I mean if you want to see them as the strongest, that's your bias and nothing else.

Could add romans or Celtic gods

For the love of gods, no nomadic civs

can wait h.p love craft gods in Age of Mythology retold hope gods vs eldritch mods do that

I learn lots about every mythology while playing aom. I also read the info.

That's fine and all, but the main reason it won't work is because the very premise itself would acknowledge the in game existence of other pantheons/gods than the one/ones you believe in making their claims of being the only true gods/god false, which would be blasphemous to any person with any religion.

Thank you for mentioning sub-saharan africa and even pre-columbian natives as potential candidates, as these do have a highly intrueging candidates IMO. But I would choose them after the three best bets IMO, i.e. Mesoamerica, India and Mesopotamia. But I would refrain from using an abrahamic religion for two reasons: 1. Abrahamic religions do not have the same pull factor as an entire pantheon IMO. And 2. Abrahamic religions are an offshoot of canaantic and mesopotamian religions. E.g. the Leviathan is most likley an analouge of Tiamat. And the flood myth is taken from mesopotamian myths too, as is the creation of the world in 7 days. Indeed IIRC Abraham even comes from there. Also in the Old Testament itself we see a transition from polytheism to henotheism to monotheism. Many gods-> primary god+extras-> only one god. E.g. where El and Yahwe are sometimes written as different entities. Or how in Exodus its not argued that the other gods are fake. their priests can still do the same stuff moses can. But the egyptian gods are much weaker than moses deity and so are their wonders. And people who spoke to god, still worshiped other gods, including King Solomon. In addition to many other parts. Most likley proper monotheism was created during the babylonian exile, where the israelite exiles radicalized their faith. Anyhow, having Assyria or Babylon as proper cultures would cover a lot of stuff of abrahamic cultures may have, whilst also having a proper intrueging pantheon and a stronger identity in an AoM game.

#DDGcomment Hypothetically, if Street Fighter 6 was a launch title for Switch2, and Nintendo made a deal with Capcom. Introducing a console exclusive character just for Switch2 (let's say Captain Falcon)... Would the FGC be upset with *Capcom* for the exclusivety? And if yes, would it even be worth it?
