    I'm putting money on expansion pack 2 being either Aztecs or Babylonians.
    - Aztecs have that great mod, but I am not sure if they devs want to lift that and make it seem like they are just yoinking someone else's work. Plus the Aztecs are right at the end of the Middle Ages, compared to the Bronze Age Egyptians, Iron Age Greeks and early Middle Ages Norse. Feels slightly out of place, not to mention they are not even on a connected land-mass with the others. But they are popular, so they have that going for them.
    - Babylonians however fit in with the setting much better. They have plentiful gods and goddess to pick from, some of which are pretty well-known in popular culture like Ishtar for example. Not to mention they can use units which were originally cut from AoM (like the griffon).
    But perhaps I am slightly off, and it's Mayans, Assyrians, Sumerians or Persians. Either way, Mesoamerica and Mesopotamia feel like really strong candidates.

      "Plus the Aztecs are right at the end of the Middle Ages"
      The time period doesn't really matter when their military tech level is behind said Egyptians and Greeks. It's not like they were on par with Late Middle Age Europeans (or the Middle East or Asia) in military technology, and were still using stone weapons while Late Middle Age Europeans were running around in full metal plate and making use of gunpowder.

    I am not sure how to feel about god packs, not because I wouldnt enjoy more stuff for existing pantehons, but because I am unsure what design space there still is.
    Like as a simple example for norse Thor does dwarves, Loki does oxcarts, odin does gatherers, what would a fourth god really do and how do you prevent overlap so we dont end up with lets say a new god that is essentially just odin+. Similarly greeks where you have poseidon - cav, zeus - infantry and hades - archer, what would a fourth one do? siege?
    If nothing else it will present the devs with an interesting design challenge to solve.

    My guess for Expansion two is india, not because its necessarily the one people want to see the most (that would be atztecs),
    but because they would likely look for something that reaches players from a different market so SEA or india.
    I do not doubt that if the game is successful that we do get a Mezo pantheon eventually,
    I just think from a buiseness standpoint that one is going to be your biggest post release draw so you likely wanna save it for later on in the games live cycle,
    a bit like they ordered the expansions for aoe2 definitive edition, where they spaced out the european civilisaiton packs.
    Ultimately that is still a guess though, they might choose to go guns blazing and do atztecs or maya right after the chinese.

      @@brunopereira6789 its possible but not likely. usually what we see is different local gods merging into one figure when a culture becomes dominant. Such as Pluton and Hades (and in the roman times, Dis Pater, Orcus and Pluto) all becoming the same. Or the various Hercules figures. The trend is more towards unification than division. Do you have an example of a god "diverging" as you say?

    I’m a little bit confused as to how buying the game will actually work. Am I correct in understanding that the two ways of buying it are to either A) get the Standard version, which has the base game, then get the Upgrade which gets all the extra content, or B) get the Premium version, which gives you everything all at once? Can you go into some further details on that aspect to help clear things up for me?
    As far as the brand new pantheon is concerned, I’m leaning towards the Aztecs. I only learned about the Aztecs mod yesterday, but it’s such an extensively researched and well-created mod that I think the official devs would be fools to not make that mod official content in the game. However, what I REALLY hope the Age Of Mythology devs will do is not stop after just these two new pantheons and continue to add new ones in later DLCs. If they do so, then I definitely want to see the Celtic and Japanese pantheons joining the roster. But what I would also really love to see is a “pantheon” centered around Arthurian Mythology. The three base/major/patron “deities” could be King Arthur, Merlin, and Morgan Le Fay, the minor gods could be various Round Table Knights, as well as figures like Nimue, Oberon, and Titania, they could gain favor by completing “quests” and defeating myth units, their own myth units could be various creatures and monsters from British, Scottish, and/or Welsh mythologies, and in a completely unique aspect, their minor gods (and maybe even their three major/patron gods) would be PLAYABLE as hero units in the game.

    This looks very good, though I am worried about adding new Major Gods to the existing pantheons. It will likely throw off balancing and lead to repeat Minor Gods picks, when the minor gods options are currently different for every Major God. Unless they add new Minors, but then that makes everything more complicated to balance.

    Romans: Train units in battalions, are slower but can build roads to massively boost military and trade speed. Heroes are batallions who get enough kills.
    Japanese: Favor is gained from building shrines and making offerings of other resources, heroes are Samurai that start with little armor and weaponry but updrade with age up.
