Hey guys, just wanted to bring attention to some of the things that are still not fixed in the latest DLC. I hope that this post will be seen by some of the devs and hopefully most of the stuff fixed before we move to the next DLC (Hopefully, there's more in store for Retold)

1. Myth units - upgrades (pic 1)

Most of the myth units in the game change their appearance when you get them their dedicated update. Sadly, 3 (5 if you count the Axolotls) do not change their appearance in the Aztec DLC. Creating new models is costly, so I would go around it in a different way. Some units in the Chinese DLC do not change their appearance but get unique effect around them. This could work for all 3 (5) units in this DLC. Bunnies would get their burining eyes, Butterflies would get glowing black wings and Snakes would get fire and venom dripping from their mouths. Not sure what for the Axolots, maybe a glow?

2. Tent (pic 2)

As of right now, Aztec tent is reskinned Norse tent. It's the only tent in the game that is not a unique model. Furhtermore, it does not show being damaged and just disappears. It would be great if the devs could return to this one and give it a dedicated model that shows signs of destruction when damaged.

3. Foundations

I just want to start by thanking the devs that they did include new foundations for War Hut and Noble's Hut. Sadly, there are still some foundations that either need fixing or brand new models.

Temple (pics 3):

As of right now, the temple is using Greek model for its foundations which is far better than the Atlantean one they were using previously but all the other factions have dedicated unique foundations, only Aztecs reuse one.

Calpulli (pic 4):

This one feels like something unfinished. The foundations change from small squire to wide squire and that's it. The workes are inside the foundations when they change. I would consider those as the ones that need the rework the most.

Armory (pic 5)

This one uses Atlantean foundations which just looks wrong as the Atlantean forge is the only one that has a different place for its fireplace. I think the foundations from the other factions would be much more appropriate if they don't get unique ones.

So what do you think, do you agree with my points? Would you add anything else?

Hey guys, the new patch is great but I want to still bring attention to some visual changes that are needed.

1. Most of the Aztec buildings use wrong foundations. They reuse Greek and Atlantian ones.

2. Tents are really underwhelming. They are reskinned Norse tents and are without desctruction visuals unlike the new shrine which is just perfect. Great job on that one. So hopefully the devs will have another look at them. Also the small obsidian shard still lacks idle animations and desctruction animations that the big shard has.

3. 3 out of 7 myth units do not change visually when upgraded. This did not happened for any of the previous releases and kind of returns something from the OG game that does not really need to return.

4. Age III and Age IV are really hard to tell apart, I would advice to add a lot more gold parts for age 4 so that it is visibly different.

So what do you guys think? Are there any other visual things that need devs attention? The Amazons come to mind as they are currently very lacking. Same goes for Halogi.

PS: Thanks for a great patch and thanks for keeping this wonderful game alive devs. :)

I think I am fine with them reusing Norse tent as Aztecs did not build any tents (AFAIK) but as of right now, they do not crumble and are weirly placed in campaign. There are also weird Greek tents around the campaign map.
