Age of Mythology™ Units: Minotaur (Cinematic)

- Be on the lookout for the official Age of Mythology™ sequel - Retold, coming 2024. Information and history of the Minotaur (turn on subtitles):
Scientific name: Homo taurus
Size: about 9 feet tall
Diet: humans, especially maidens
King Minos prayed to Poseidon to send him a snow-white bull as a sign he was fit to rule Crete. He promised to sacrifice the animal, but when it appeared, he kept it for his own. In retribution, Poseidon cause Minos' wife to fall in love with the bull. Their offspring was the Minotaur, a beast with the head of a bull and the body of a man. Minos had a huge labyrinth constructed under Crete where the Minotaur could be kept. Each year seven boys and seven girls were sent into the maze to be eaten by the beast. Eventually the Minotaur was slain by Theseus who unraveled a ball of twine as he moved into the labyrinth so he could find his way out.
The legend of the minotaur may have originated because of the importance of the bull in Minoan ritual. Minoan buildings were adorned with bull horns, their hourglass shields covered with bull hide. Early frescoes show Minoan youths leaping over the horns of bulls as a form of sport.
This cinematic was made using the "Age of Mythology™: The Titans Expansion Pack" video game, with the intent of creative expression. The final version of the New X Editor (available at AOM Heaven) was utilized. All units and sounds are original to the game; no mods were used. - Ігри

I cant wait for see what this guy can do with the AOM Retold, it will be EPIC.
It would look very different. The charm that original AoM is very special, very beautiful, perfect en soi.
Bueno, un fanático es un fanático sabes
Even If the retold is epic, the classic game is the one we love from our childhoods
OK I just spilled my beer on my keyboard at 01:50
Thanks for the videos, awesome job
Highlight of rhe video lmao. Amazing stuff!
Bruh i know right?
I know right 💀
That's what happened in the lore of the Minotaur indeed.
@@apolloolympian4669what happened?
You really put sounds of combat for that scene? That's awesome 😂
There was definatly fighting involved. Who won? I don't know. Who lost? my ears.
This is fantastic! The shot of the labyrinth at 2:11 is incredible! Do you think you'll continue making these in AOM Retold when it comes out?
Yep 👍
@@Anraheir They have to hire you for AOM Retold.
@@Anraheir yo hago un mod realista para Empire Earth, pronto campañas, pero AOM siempre tiene un lugar especial en mi corazón, trataré de pasarme al lado oscuro cuando llegue Retold
BABE WAKE UP!!! NEW AOM VISIONS VIDEO IS OUT!!
This was great! You're a great cinematographer!
This is unbelievable. I used to mess around with the AOM editor so believe me when I say I truly appreciate the craft and dedication to make someone so detailed and unique yet so remarkably legible and well put together.
It’s just masterful. The beauty of the design, the clarity of the storytelling, even the slight humour of the… sound effects. It all adds up to the most brilliant and joyful thing. I love it. Thank you for this gift.
amazing way of telling the original story without dialogues. 10/10
This new series is awesome!
This is SO AWESOME! Your shot composition is always on point.
I can't express how much I like your videos, this is the first time I see this format of yours covering the myth units and the lore behind them. Thanks for taking your time doing it, you are the best in doing this type of content for AOM :)
The shot at 2:13 is just amazing, it would make an excellent main menu !
How did he do that...
This one was relatively short, but still a great video once more. _Was not expecting the "sound effects" at __1:49__,_ but I'm glad I wasn't the only one who found the "woman hurt" voices oddly arousing in this game. *(I had yet to discover Age of Wonders 1, to know how tame this was by comparison)*
brother...
Incredible. The real myth of the Minotaur. Told through AoM. What a day to be alive and witness such videos by such master of game cinematography.
One of the most iconic units in AOM glad to see it getting its own lore video as always outstanding work the visualisation of the sacrifices being brought to the minuator was really good must be really scary to be one of those 14 kids.
I'm glad you still make these in 2024. It's really great to see that we all share love for this game even though it was out decades ago. Thank you for your content!
Its a mind blowing piece of art making historical events with our childhood favorite game, thank you❤❤
Really nice :D ! Will you make more on other myth units while we all wait for Retold ?
Am hoping to. Family and work keep me busy.
AoM Visions has posted
All is right with the world
You are extremely underrated. Thanks for making such great content!
These are always such a treat, excited to see more cinematics w/ Retold coming out!
Yes!!! Love your work!!!
YEAAHHH!!! Just when I thought AoM News couldn't get any better, my beloved AoM UA-camr has returned!
You are back! Awesome! And with an amazing new animation! :)))
I look forward to your next mythic unit introduction videos. It's a nice mix of educational and fun video
this is incredible! Who would have thought that something like this could be done with this game?
I absolutely love this video. Personally I would have added Ariadne, Minos's daughter who helped Theseus navigate the labyrinth and escape. Probably could have made Atalanta her stand-in.
By the gods he's returned!
What incredible work! I hope it continues to re-tell the story of myths, culture and complement the game's civilizations. I would like to suggest, if you wish, adapting a little of the story of Homer's Odyssey, you can make great use of the models and tell this wonder through AOM.
This is awesome what you did with the stables...in the city... OMG ! so great !
2:52 this is perfect. I love watching epic films and this is just the kind of "aerial shot of an inaccessible sanctuary" that is a staple of the genre.
this is amazing! Only saw subtitles after video ended, should consider just putting it in the video imo!
Mythology is always weird.
Yep. xD Yet, I still keep on reading myths.
Bro this is literally cine, amazing job, can´t image the work needed to achieve this.
I can just imagine what you and others will be able to do with "Retold" when it comes out. The attention to detail you put into these cinematics is inspiring.
Can't wait to see what are you capable of in Retold, awesome scenery composition as always
Yet another masterpiece.
Another masterpiece by AOM Vision
Wake up, a new AOM Visions' video, day is beautiful
Beautiful as always!
This amazes me everytime how you do it. This make wanna play the game again
Brooooooo!!!! You made it again, a great masterpiece!!!! It's amazing!!!!!
Excelente resumen de la leyenda del minotauro. Por favor jamás dejes de hacer tan bellísimo contenido
its nice to see a new cinematic again!
Of course that the period of my life that I become obsessed with the Labyrinth and the Minotaur, you would post a video about exactly that.
This is a really masterpiece! Awesome video!
I can only imagine how much time you spent, good job!💙
Oh yay, more AOM Visions content!

Astonishing work as always. Each scenery has exquisite details of beauty. And probably one of the hardest myth units stories to reproduce through the game engine.
Amazing! Very creative, thank you so much!
Great Job! Instant Sub!
RETURN OF THE KING

2:30 I was half expecting more womanly grunting sounds like earlier in the video
1:48 Show this exact moment to an elder scrolls fan.
They'll understand
Yep, i thought of that song too
Great artistry here high respect dude.
1:50 is a highlight of the video.
Awesome!!
Amazing video, subscribed!
Also I'd highly suggest finding an AI to voice the subtitles for you, except that one part, you nailed that!
beautiful like always.
Amazing work man! AoM has great potential for such cinematic experiences!
Absolute Cinema 🧐🍷

daym,
AOM Retold team should recruit AOM Vision as cinematic director for their game
I’m not in the game industry - doubt they’d need me. I would be happy to contribute however I can, however; before or after release.
