Chimera is shown in a screenshot/wallpaper it’s just not very visible cause it’s quite small there aswell as in a leaked gameplay video worth the Manticore. But nothing close up. Seems like the chimera is more scaly with some thornes in its skin around the snake part, the manticore seems to be darker and also a bit more “draconic” looking but it seems to maintain its general shape. Both are relative small in these footages compared to other creatures. Scylla also was hinted at in one of the first screenshots and seemed there quite similar but it’s maybe hidden now cause ppl like me (who even liked the old version) criticised it really doesn’t look like myth Scylla at all.
So excited. I still play AOM every now and then but the community is pretty small. Honestly half of my excitement is just for seeing it become a popular game again
I am equally impressed with the visual improvements on human soldiers as I am with the myth units. They also changed the sizes of all units to make them more realistic.
You know what i just realized looking at the pictures and videos of Age of Mythology Retold? That it looks exactly like the rendered CGI intro of Ensemble Studios in the original Age of Mythology ( the pre-Steam version ) where it shows the globe, all three civilizations and the Nidhogg. Only of course Retold looks even better, but the fact that today we play games that look like what CGI looked 20 years ago still blows my mind. It often doesn't hit cause we are used to the constant progress but the moment you stop for a second and compare it is incredible feeling. Cannot wait for this game ^^
Самое главное - они сохранили общую гамму игры - что для переиздания одна из САМЫХ сложных вещей. У этой игры особенная гамма/освещение/текстуры - и если их удасться перенести на 100% - это будет по важнее всех остальных вещей )
Am I the only one not a fan of the minotaur being a giant? I believe I've read the minotaur was supposed to be just above a human in the myth? not twice the size?? Am I wrong?? About 2 meters in height (7feet)
I really wish they would make the Minotaur a bit smaller. After all, it is supposed to be a beast with a bull's head and human body. Sure, a large body, but I think this is too much.
Hey, Nexotic, I'm new to your channel. I found some myth units you mentioned that you could not find, as well as other units and god powers, on this UA-cam channel named Universidad Age of Mythology (Translated: University Age of Mythology). I love many of the redesigns. For Aom Myths Units: ua-cam.com/video/ppeboC1l-Gs/v-deo.htmlsi=YmolB4o13jP-4gR2 For Aom Human/Hero Units: ua-cam.com/video/HoTkzRQog0s/v-deo.htmlsi=DHdbswrdOQ9t7JTB For Aom God Powers: ua-cam.com/video/IUuy6cCJhpg/v-deo.htmlsi=aRJUt3VDRy3byZyZ
Lucky you, they said that a DLC would be a new chinese faction. Or on launch... i can't quite remember but i do remember that they used language that suggested the chinese will have a full rework. And a full on new civ which people assume to be the aztec.
How do you avoid this info, it's everywhere... two announced expansions, the first one is a complete remake of the Chinese and the second one will be a new civ - no hints to which one. Mesoamerican most likely, but I would also love slavic. Beyond these, in the future, we could get an african or indian civ, but that would cover the main world mythologies without making it aoe2 de 45 civs

I disagree. I think units, buildings and environments look great so far. Not quite sure about the god portraits though. Overall i'm confident that Retold will be good. 🙂
the retold version is what my brain remembers playing it as a child
True
YES BUT WHY??? its the same thing with gta games !!!!!!
so true! Though, when you play old AOM now it feels so old.
Right???? I saw it and just thought“looks pretty much the same“ then saw the video comparations
I love how they changed the proportions of everything. The buildings now feel like buildings and some myth units really feel like big monsters
THis game was my childhood and it looks great- I hope the balance improves
age of empires have a survey on their website it takes some 30 minutes, but it is based on ur feedback on all the aoe and aom

I'm so excited about this game!
Same! :)
You will be disappointed
@@kostyantynkarimov6530 why ??
@@georgyalice434 Because they are milking our nostalgia
We need to hear the AoM Retold Soundtrack, the fact that we haven't heard anything yet is troubling....
Why is it troubling ? They have a right to keep a few surprises for later and not reveal everything at once.
@@charleslavoie7622 The soundtrack is beloved and some details would be nice. Omitting any info gives the impression that its simply an afterthought.
Can you please compare the Egyptian myth units. Thank you kind sir!

@@marcosfc123 Right? Such nostalgia too.
Except its a little more cartoony
mythology fact carcinos helped hydra in her fight vs heracles
Something to look forward to in the fall other than Halloween.
Am i the only one who likes the looks of the old pegasus more than the new one? The rest of the shown units look dope
We have a Colossus ready for you ❤
The hydra is too small in Retold!
not sure if we saw them in trailer or official content but i'm certain we saw the retold chimeras somewhere, maybe in the demo gameplay leak

Also I hope they don't include chinese, or at least actually create a balanced civ

I hope there are no expansions and the original Greek, Egyptian, Norse and atlanteans is more than enough

I hope so. I will buy it anyway but looks like it could be better.
