r/AgeofMythology

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?

The first playoff is almost over. Upsets, wild moments and some insanely high level Age of Mythology has already been played. My personal favorite game so far was arguably one of the most clean Odin-Heimdal games I've ever seen by HUSKSUPPE.

There's still a long road to but one persons will be a little shorter than the others, who will it be?

Today's Schedule:
Mosca vs HUSKSUPPE: 1400GMT
Recon vs Grass: 1600~GMT
Finals: 1800~GMT

*times after the first set are approximations

A lot of people have been saying that they are disappointed their favorite player lost, don't worry they will be back for Playoff 2 and onwards! There are 5 total chances over 5 weeks so tune in for your favorite next week and every week until they qualify.

(Solved)

Is the "cleansing rains" achievement currently bugged, or am I just being dumb? Does it work in skirmish? Are specific options required for blood pools, or is it enough for them to be visible? Does it work for blood from your own self-cancelled units, or just enemy blood? I've tried several times, but it doesn't seem to work; I don't know what I'm doing wrong ;-;

(Solved)

Ok thank you all! Still not sure what the issue was, I just tried everything all at once, maxed blood options, killed both villagers (100+) and military units (100+), made sure they were well spreaded, and did it near farms... It worked 👍🏻

The first quarter-finals commence today, we've already had a wild tournament and it's been high intensity already. A spot at the Athens LAN this September is up for grabs and only one person can take it.

Recon vs 3D!Beell – 14:00

Grass vs Eisomarto – 15:30

Mosca vs EricBR – 17:00

The Sunday finalist of each playoff week earns their spot in Athens. Brackets are up on Liquipedia if you want to follow along.

Since the release of the new Aztec shrines, I had been wanting to see them in-game, and today I finally did. They look really nice and unique, but their orientation seems to be off.

As shown in the image, the shrine does not appear to match the direction of the statues beside it or the relic/platform in the center. It feels like the shrine model is rotated incorrectly compared to the rest of the structure.

I don’t know why the Aztecs in particular have had so many orientation-related issues. They are not the only civ with this kind of problem, of course, but I hope the devs can fix this in a future patch.

I noticed a bug while playing with Demeter: some units suddenly get stuck looping their death animation. Moving them seems to stop the animation, but the issue keeps happening repeatedly during the same skirmish.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Ever since the patch where this technology was updated to apply to Fortresses and Towers, I’ve been expecting both the corresponding visual root texture to be added to those buildings and proper access to the technology from their command panels.

From a tactical perspective, the visual root texture would also help indicate to the enemy that attacking those Fortresses or Towers carries a higher risk due to the reflected damage. Also, adding the tech icon/access directly to Fortresses and Towers would prevent players from having to build walls just to research this technology when they don’t want or need them.

I'm going to be honest, I have only completed the Japanese campaign on Ludicrous and the Chinese campaign on Titan, the rest of the campaigns on Hard mode.

This was in my opinion, the hardest mission yet, the second worse could be "All is not Lost" or the last mission from the Chinese campaign, let me know so I can prepare mentally, I do enjoy it though.

I forgot to mention that I also completed the Obsidian Mirror campaign on Ludicrous, "Tenochtitlan" and "We're Surrounded" were really hard for me, I hope that what awaits me is not worse than that.

I just got this achievement right after I won a match with Poseidon where I used mostly cavalry with few ranged soldiers. Am I reading it wrong? Shouldn't that be the opposite of what the achievement wants?

Did as best as I could, with some creative liberties
