@@napolien1310 I'm a huge fan of AoE2 and its opening cinematic, but the animation in the AoM intro is wayyyy cleaner. Plus the art looks nicer. Makes sense as AoM was released a couple years later, but the difference is very noticeable.
The scene when Zeus heals his soldiers and they scream in glory and all the will to fight returns is so epic, and they don't even needed to put a word on their mouths to demonstrate their will to fight again, how can a cutscene from a game that is 20 years old be so epic?
I can’t decide what the best part of the game was The multiplayer The campaign The map editor This game was just as a good as if not better than AoE2 and we all know it!!
Aoe2 multiplayer was miles ahead tho. The town center system in aom together with the hard pop cap makes every game a stance still until somebody gets an advantage, and then it's full snowball. But the single player if aom will be in my heart forever
The map Editor. But actually everything was great. In the dwarven campaign when you realize Loki tricked you with folstag Banner. 10/10 Also the infotext of each Unit. This game got me interested in Mythology.😊
Everyone chill… unfortunately it’s just going to be a remastered version of AoM. Which, I’m all for, but it’s not like an actual sequel. Just wanted to keep everyone’s expectations reasonable.
@@gnarlynicholasreviews Isn't the Extended edition already a remaster? the Steam version looks better than what I remember from the original non-steam 2002 version, it even supports 1080p resolutions and has slightly better graphics than the original. I don't see why would they want to make a Remaster of an already Remastered game, sounds like a cash grab then.
This is the only game which fulfilled my chilhood dream.....and made my life worth it.....thanks you aom team........thanks for making my childhood....a happier one.......u made my life complete
Best thing about aom was that it was actually educational - in mythology, culture and language from various countries. Would love to see Celtic, Indian and Japanese mythology added to the new game.
They might, given AoE 2's success. But if they do, two things I persobally want: 1- *redo the entirety of the Tale of the Dragon campaign!* The maps, the textures, even the stories could use a lot of tweaks and improvement. 2 - maybe 1 or 2 new Civilizations with their Myth Units and God Powers, maybe Persians or Babylonians. This one is tough, though, because a lot of their aspects were already incorporated into either the Greeks or the Egyptians.
Both those scenes are absolute beauties but I think for me it has to be the first scene of Kronos rising up from behind the hill, his awesome size and the sound as he’s pulling a meteor down from the sky. What a game.
There is a god power in the game that turns your soldiers into myth unit killing machines. However, it is only available to followers of Oranos and Kronos - the titans banished behind the gates. How ironic.
Ever have one of those days when you go to the museum, reliving ancient wars with each exhibit, and then the entire museum just spontaneously decides to cave in, leaving you mere moments to escape?
As a kid, this intro always seemed so epic to me. I still remember exactly how I felt. The flashbacks even scared me a bit. But then Zeus gave them strength! Like a dream. I loved it.
Honestly looking at this intro, I think the mechanic that the Atlanteans have for their Heroic units was either prototyped and shown in the intro, or was inspired by the intro, because literally, human units getting decimated by Myth units, only for them to get a blessing from the gods, and then charge right in and destroy the Myth Units.
This is an amazing game intro, not only it's cool looking and epic, but also it tells the context you need to know before you start the game's campaign. It's kind of like the prologue of the Lord of the Rings
I Love that the Intro Portrays the "Backstory" and the hint of Poseidon being the Bad Guy. The Intro Shows the war between the olympians and the Titans in a way. Kronos gets defeated by Zeus and is locked in the tartaros. Then the Temple gets Destroyed, Arkantos gets helped by Athena and flees. But poseidons Trident falls and nearly Hits him. That was on purpose. He wanted Arkantos to die. The Main campaign in this Game was called "The Fall of the Trident" (at least thats the direct translation from German). It is all shown in the intro, but you only ever realize that after you beat the campaign.
@@AakashSharma-le8pm Even though that my be true, i still think it is him. The hair, the armour and the fact that he is helped by Athena, and nearly killed by the Trident is (at least for me) quite convincing evidence to assume that this man is supposed to be Arkantos
Man..... The nostalgia is real this was the second game i ever played when I was a child and this got me into all age of empire games 😭i wanna play this again sooooo bad
I remember when I discovered this game in middle school, and I was reading Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus at the same time, man I was completely dying for ancient Greek mythology Crazy times!
I do remember mom trying this game during my child hood and I watched my mom play it and I did want to try it whenever but never got to I hope this game gets a remaster
@@StormGardenHedgefleet i don't know if you will see this comment one day, but a definitive edition has been confirmed, it will be done after the De of Age of empire III So much potential, i have a lot of hope for this new edition, even more than for AoEIV ..
I remember I watched this so many times when playing thw game, always gave me goosebumps. I can recall the first time i saw it was when they put age of empires 1 in boxes of Kellogg's cearal and in addition to that the game had this clip to advertise the release of this game that was coming out soon
This was the coolest intro ever when I was little haha
to me it was age of empire 1 intro x)
first of the series !
i agree with you guys
I replayed this intro everytime I played this game when I was a kid

That awkward moment when you realise that the video's sound is 99% grunts and umphs!
John Mihelis great cinematic, it even doesnt need dialogue for such greatness
Even more awkward when you realise that all those sounds are the cries of pain greeks units do in the game...
I can say the same about the first 30 minutes about the first Conan movie. Nothing but grunts.
I also love how understated they are given these guys are getting impaled, axed to death, smashed by rocks and all they say is "Oompf".
LEGO Age of Mythology confirmed
The history of Arkantos need a movie
arkantos does not excist in greek mythology.
+Morgomir 24 that doesnt mean he doesnt deserve a movie.

And the subtle foreshadowing of Poseidon betraying Arkantos in the temple when his statue attempts to impale him with the broken trident.
@@commanderbacara225 it is also foreshadowing that Zeus will help Arkantos defeating Kronos's forces and giving Arkantos his blessing
I wish one of Zeus bas**rd were among the soldiers... preferably Heracles👍
I suppose it's called visual storytelling.
I mean if you go from barely walking to now able to throw a creature 5 times your weight I'd be pretty hype too ngl
That game is like 16 years old....yet its intro is still better made than some nowadays games
This is true... And sad.
I played this game in my child hood can i have the link of it
@@manikantamani9215
you can buy it on steam. Too bad that the summer sale is no longer, because it was reduced by 75 %.
Lol have you seen the video? This intro looks like crap tbh
True
2:06 They even had a spoiler for the game.
Allen Corona Yeah, didn’t catch that until now. Nice bet of foreshadowing as to Posideon’s true allegiances
It was a really good coincidence that the only statue that tried to kill Arkantos was Poseidon, and yet we stilld din't know it.
Allen Corona that twist was so shocking when I played it!
I didn't realize that til now.
Didn't even notice that until I finished the story, its a nice nod to whats to come for Arkantos.
Gotta love the effects how this intro was made. AoE series and AoM forever!
And C&C Red Alert!
@@AlejoConejo-vb8ln C&C Generals!
Who here after Age of Mythology Retold announce ?
Me
Me to man ah the memories can’t wait to play next version
1:22 all of your Units became heros
No I think that was the regeneration spell (or whatever the mass heal spell was called).
Nocx possibly bronze armor?
Peter Alves Possibly.
wasnt there a hero spell? makes more sense since they have a easy time with the monsters afterwards
heros or champion :3 i love this game
1:23 - Damn that theme song brings back memories
ThePeoplesChamp :,)
One of the coolest and epic intro for an awesome strategy video game!
I can’t decide what the best part of the game was
The multiplayer
The campaign
The map editor
This game was just as a good as if not better than AoE2 and we all know it!!
Aoe2 multiplayer was miles ahead tho. The town center system in aom together with the hard pop cap makes every game a stance still until somebody gets an advantage, and then it's full snowball.
But the single player if aom will be in my heart forever
The campaign is true awesome
Finding out if the cheat codes were real* 😂
Online was epic in the early days, sadly those days are long gone.
The map Editor.
But actually everything was great.
In the dwarven campaign when you realize Loki tricked you with folstag Banner. 10/10
Also the infotext of each Unit.
This game got me interested in Mythology.😊
Guys, here we are ! A new Age of Mythology is coming... After 20 years, we're gifted and blessed by AoM : Retold !
really ?????

I always used to try to make these in the custom battles section lol
Same
Medusa was the queen of battles. Except you pick hero against her.
So true mate
@@ladyselin35 A mummy is better, since it spawns an ancestor upon kill (and I think it also has a larger range, but I could be wrong there).
Itll be a crime against humanity if this cutscene doesnt get remade in AOM Retold.
If only Age of Mythology have a real-life movie based on it...
A movie based on the campaign would be sp f.... great (but there should be more than one movie, cause the story is too long)
johgu92 or a mini-serie
clash of the titans
They have plenty of movies about greek mythology
ThePimV not a Movie where they mix all mythologies like in Aom.
Nostalgia.. age of mithology forever in my heart.

Both those scenes are absolute beauties but I think for me it has to be the first scene of Kronos rising up from behind the hill, his awesome size and the sound as he’s pulling a meteor down from the sky. What a game.

1:50 when you’re playing dodgeball and aren’t paying attention.
Honestly looking at this intro, I think the mechanic that the Atlanteans have for their Heroic units was either prototyped and shown in the intro, or was inspired by the intro,
