why does Gaia look like groot lmfao
Are the art pieces for your chosen God AI generated?
Wish me luck Drongo . . . I want to serve Age 3 and the Aom community
@@LawoftheSpirit as a ripoff of Spirit of the Law?
@@Totherphoenix in a sense yes
Thank God they kept the original voice overs. I wouldn't be able to play AoM without PROSTAGMA
they kept prostagma but I am dissapointed that there are new voice actors. Arkantos, Ajax....theyre sound horrible for me
@@TheKajny Might be unfinished btw, some are placeholders
@@sirisaac8727 Of course it is placeholders
@@sirisaac8727 I dont think so. If you use cheat isis hear my plea and most heroes will appear they ale have new voices and why would they put placeholder for every heroe when the beta campaign is just for 5 missions? Amanra, Chiron, dwarves....
@@SirQuantization cant be too sure these days
I miss the thunder sound when choosing your main god
As a kid, you thought it was so cool!😎
Yes,This is cool.
@@Alvin9910. not only as a kid, still do think so today 😎
@@DaSkyrim True😎
Best rts campaign I’ve played. (Based on my kid memory lol)
It’s ok man we’re all here from our childhoods. Campaign is gonna be even better now
Release the kraken😊
replayed it two years ago. still slaps :p
rise of legends and empire earth campaigns was up there too with aom
100% agree. AOE3 was pretty good also, but AOM had the best campaigns.
LETS GOOOOO, I’ve played age of mythology as a kid back when it came out. I’m so excited to play it again!!!
Same dude
A note on the discount: you only get 15% off the premium edition if you alread own Age of Mythology Extended Edition on Steam.
Better than the 15% increase in price between The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part 1 lol
I don't think that's true.
The "Upgrade" from extended Edition to Premium early access is just 24,99€, so even less than the standard edition (29,99€)
@@gameplaytv1374 The upgrade is not for EE, it's for if you buy the default version of Retold and want to upgrade with the DLC later.
Honestly all these automations and QoL changes are good imo. I am a semi casual player of RTS games and having these will be good for me and it *WILL* bring more people to the genre. God knows RTS games need more new players.
True, for new players game can be overwhelming then quit. Making bit easier to unferstand early game can make big difference. Veteran always gonna be better use better build order, use better strategies
Agreed. RTS games need more features like this and if people want to be competitive and have tournaments, can turn those settings off.
Been an Age player since '97, enjoying each title from their release. AOM will always be the most underrated MVP, as well as AOE III. Love the OG AOE and remember hyping hard for the Age of Kings but AOM is pure memories
I get the competitive argument against the villager assist settings but it feels like whenever devs try to cater to a competitive type of player, the fanbase dwindles and dies because it is no longer made for the player its made for the winner.
very well said and absolutely true
I'm playing this for the campaign, when this game originally came out, that's all me and my brother did, just runs of the campaign.
do you mean like a toggle to produce vills? I feel like it would just make comp play better anyways, cuz high level players can now devote more of their brain apms to more interestings decisions than "produce vill hurr durr"
the original AOM had autobuild anyway
It's a silly superiority thing anyway. Queuing up villagers on time is not a skill that makes you a better player, just overwhelms beginners. I'd rather have people focus on fun stuff like fights instead of villager production.
Age of Mythology combined with the Percy Jackson books have given me a lifelong interest in Mythology and Religions in general. Ever since I was five years old, I haven’t went a year without diving deep into a new Mythology.
Very cool 😎
I played so much of this game through my early teens, became obsessed with mythology and pantheons. A reboot of this is incredible
Heracles is a classical age hero now? Damn that is a massive change tbh to the Greek gameplay.
Maybe trying to "fix" the time period, maybe
It's for competitive reason. All ranged greek heroes got moved to Heroic.
Oh sweet summer child
Almost everything changed lol
Makes me feel old bro
this is amazing, the game looks so well polished! I'm beyond happy.
I’ve actually never heard of this game until the recent trailer but loved Warcraft 3, age of empires 2, starcraft, tiberian sun, and C&C generals so I’m excited to get into another RTS. The genre of my childhood
May not be a popular opinion but I'd like to see a, probably reworked, China put back in the game. UPDATE: Apparently, that's the first planned expansion!
it is a popular opinion =) and yes, it's the first expansion
Yes, at least they should redo it before adding it again.
IMO there's nothing about the Chinese "dlc" that is worth salvaging. The whole thing was a lazy, powercreeping mess that made the game objectively worse. They will have to rework it from the ground up
So much DLC potential with AOM. Introducing Mayans/Aztecs, Indians, Celts, Mesopotamia civs
Me too, and thankfully that's the first expansion. I'm super stoked for all the new god packs and pantheons that are coming in the future.
Aoe1 & AoM atmosphere + AoM game design+ + Ao4 tech+....I need to play it.
It's AoE 3 tech.
re-usable god powers is the best change.
I loved this game when I was a kid (still come back to it now and then to play campaign). I'm so pumped for this remake. PROSTAGMA!
Haven't heard those sounds in a long time! lol
All of these new QoL features are genuinely incredible.
The villager priority is what is going to make me buy the game. I dont have enough time to be a sweat on this like before. But I love to tactically play without having a phd in resource management, just give me an army and an enemy to defeat, W for the devs and dads haha. A toggle feature would be nice for ranked competitive though
Is it me or was the original Artwork for gods much better bros?
I think that is here and there. I see where you are coming form though. I find the new UI is terrible. takes up lots of space and the recourses are on a completely different side of the screen then the building menu. the original was slick and easy to read.
Both are good in my opinion, in their own ways
I completely agree. I dislike what I’ve seen of the new god portraits. Way too glossy.
The Devs did say that you will have the option to toggle between the old and the new God portraits. Those old potraits have been remastered in full HD so they did care about it.
@@nickstoned8660 That’s phenomenal news. Thanks for taking the time to share it!
Auto train villagers should be in AOE4 too
So stoked for this! But i do hope they polish the UI a lil more. But still beyond hyped for this! Played the first one like 1000 hours
This game was my childhood.
Me too.
Presets for casual is the most cleaver thing that this kind of a game could have!!
This will be the best Remake Ever. I played Age of Mythology alot when I was Kid and experienced the Atlantis Expansion and now I can't wait to play it this year.
The favorite Game of my childhood get's a 2nd chance leeeeeets goooo
Did I just read "Controller" ????? Does that mean....we get CONTROLLER SUPPORT on PC ????? Does that mean we can play from the COUCH? On a STEAM DECK ?????? PRE-PURCHASED, Mic drop.
arkantos and his son kastor's AoM campaign stories are legendary and unforgettable in my childhood... i hope the AoM Retold Dev will even expand to more campaign scenarios and new characters with unique gameplay design per missions because imo its the best part of AoM (I'm not a competitive player, would rather just play with skirmish AI if I'm playing some random match)
Oh the scratchy “no resources” sound. Darn I miss this game!! Can’t wait for this to drop!! PROSTAGMA
Watching you explain your build order really got that Drongo FFA itch going
Ah, I didn't even know there was a closed beta available for purchase. I have it preordered but I'm going to wait until September. It looks great and will definitely be nostalgic of my childhood.
Let's go mate. 6am Sat morning & was not expecting AoM. YES MAATE!
God portraits got nerfed 😭
Shall I catch you clutching your free hand upon looking at Aphrodite's portrait?
@@royasturias1784 🫣
The villager assist needs some work. It has a terrible habit of putting all my vils on wood, or no vils on wood. It also enjoys taking Norse dwarfs off gold to put them on other resources. Other than that, this is a really good remake and I love it.
Brings me back, looks beautiful. I've had AoM on steam for YEARSSSSS time to get this.
Ah yes! AOM 2 looks simply amazing! This retold version of AOM feels different enough to me. Just would have loved a day/night cycle. I know not everyone’s fav thing but I’d love it.
The custom eco thing I don’t think is a bad thing but I also think once you get so fine tune to build orders you won’t really use that feature at all. Also testing out villager centers is quite fun. You can really boom your eco or treat them like manors for Atlantis just without pop increase but damage instead. Better way to safely be bold and boom at the same time. Tho I think it will take some getting use to.
3:41 WOW! Horus is looking good!
the ground... it's so cool... the small details on the animals and soldiers...Really cool it flows cool like the fps the move ...I don't know how it gonna be in the end but now it is looking really beautiful and the color of the civ(green) is soooo beautiful they glow really cool lol
Drongo, did they keep the best part of the original? Giving the Myth Units Taxonomy? Scientific names? If yes, this will be a no brainer buy for me. Grew up on AoM and the Titans.
The nostalgia i'm feeling is absolutely crushing. Cannot wait for some Zelda and Sims
Not gonna lie I'm surprised they actually got Heracles name correctly.
As an owner of a colony of honeypot ants, the tooltips aren't completely wasted...
Still have my box copy of Age of Mythology and the expansion, definitely was one of my absolutely favorite childhood games.
That “closed beater” caught me so off guard 😂
Was obsessed with aom IN 4th to 6th grade. Im 30 now and cant wait to dive back in haha
The auto allocate vills setting is good for kids getting into an RTS and its only available in custom game so imo its a great option to have for those who would want something like that.
jeeze im excited for this !!
Automatic villager production feel reasonable to me, because it reduces apm/multi-tasking but not decision making. The resource balancing, however, takes away from you deciding what locations on the map your villagers work at, which I don't care for as much.
so its a real HD update now? i thought it was going to be reworked as something new
the only thing that irks me is that dead units sink in the ground...feels meh, other than this the remake is awesome
I think that's just for the sake of optimization
It's the same for original AoM!
@@jeromemartel3916 nope, in the original the bodies slowly decayed until they were skeletons, hydra corpse for example would decay into a skeleton without a head resembling the way it died in the mythos, herakles crushed its head underneath a boulder
The new gods look Ai esque , not like old paintings of the ancient civilizations
I think you might also need auto build house feature!
May as well just get a auto play the game feature
I like the idea of the villiger auto assign but you'll need a 4th segment for faith production for the greeks
Graphically it hasn’t really left the 2000s has it
Some of those new features are brilliant though ngl. I wouldn't even be opposed to autobuild in ranked
A little zoom would be appreciated next time :)
Fighting noises seems weird to me at 14:14 until 14:24. Original Version sounds better there.
I played this game when I was five. 😅 I am pumped to play this game again!
I think the quality of life improvements will do a lot to improve player retention. Pro's will also take advantage of it, and to a higher degree, so I don't think its an issue.
I played hundreds if not maybe thousands of hours of the original AoM. This is such a fucking fever dream
Finally a Mythology video!
Just because some people are hesitant to accept the automation system(s) doesn't mean they're against change in general.
HELL YEAH Age of Mythology HYPE
The amount of nostalgia it bring back to see this game again
The automation is good, don’t like it though
But the fact we can use it or not is good
great video Drongo!!!!
looks amazing, i love this game, such nostalgia
RTS lost a lot of popularity because of the skill gap and APM requirements. The best way to bring people to the genre is to make it widely accessible. The answer to the more automated gameplay is to remove it from ranked entirely, or have 2 separate ranked modes. A no automation mode, and vise versa.
I've heard it said that APM only really matters when it comes to ultra competitive play. For the rest of us, game sense, strategy and good macro are far more important. Which means you have to think. Might be a hint as to another reason why RTS has lost popularity
@@qegwrshe That thinking part is definitely why RTS is dying, or rather, lost popularity. Just look at the "newer generations" --- total brainrot.
Here's hoping for more retold content from you!
AOM is for Casual's anyway sure there might be some hardcores. But realistically it's just a super fun AOE game
Are there options for Blood and Skeletons After Death?
Ahhhhhhh can't wait! the nostalgia
I like the graphical upgrade, but I hate how they changed the art of the gods. The egyptian animal gods look like AI parodies. The original design of Kronos looked so much more imposing than the new one.
"Prostagma" is intact, LETS GOOOOO
This reeks of mobile gaming aesthetic
I love the autoqueue and the presets.
It's wild that people think simplifying the game makes it better because they're to slow to multi-task. This is why we got this instead of AOM 2. Cannot innovate when everyone would rather go backwards and dumb stuff down.
As a casual player of many games, I like simple controls. I get to game like 2hours a week. I’m not trying to relax not relearn algebra.
I love to see a proper casual multiplayer interface
Age Of Empires 4 Player here. i have hopes of this game!
Is this aoe3 engine?
Yep
@@Americanheld funny how the original AoE3 was made in the AoM engine, and now it's the other way around
@@NotFlappy12 This is probably the same engine that have been iterated over through the years.
Older version of the engine in AoM, a more modern one in AoE 3.
Age of Mythology was my first rts lets goooo!
me and my brother grew up as kids playing this. Cant wait for some late night 1v1s
Im loving all of the QOL changes. Game looks great!.
6:04 I see they still don't have a cooldown for the voiceover of the units when you tell them to do something ahah
Lovely, I really like AOM!
dude i dont think gatekeepers are worried about a tiny setting that isnt even competitive and unavailable in rank because it would be totally useless there.
Wonderful video, thank you for the showcase. But what about da BIG (Drongo) text flying about???
Zeus RUSH is BACK babyyyyyyy !
Drongo, all the priority features and auto train villagers are standard on AoE IV for every xbox player
Only for controller players.
Not available for mouse & keyboard players even on Xbox.
I hope they fix so you can choose the old original music, it's so nostalgic for me. I don't want the newer versions on it🙃
So it's the same game with upgraded graphics? Not complaining, just that would be awesome!
It $42 dollars in the USA.
I played the original a couple months ago and I loved it.
Why are so many people complaining about the "auto" mechanics that are in the game currently? Y'all are genuinely already bitching about competitive play when the game isn't even done lmfao -- it's not even close to balanced in its current state either, yet nobody is complaining about that. Things will change over time and things will get fixed over time. The "auto play" mechanics should, ideally, be disabled for competitive/ranked play but kept enabled or toggleable for casual or vs AI gameplay. It makes RTS games more digestible and easier for new players to play.. thus increasing the population and popularity of rts games. It's like you guys WANT to gate-keep and keep RTS games on a dying trend.
Also I think the Combat vfx needs improvements
PROSTAGMA intensifies!!
looks great
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO
somehow i never played this even tho im big into RTS lol glad they made a new version of it, i cant get the old one to start somehow, it just wont work so im happy to try it out
