Age of Mythology™: Dying to Live (Cinematic)
Ойындар
After dying bravely in battle, a Norse warrior treks the nine worlds of the cosmic tree Yggdrasil, seeking Valhalla...
Age of Mythology Retold is coming September 4, 2024 to Xbox and PC :)
What is your favorite world/scene? Feel free to comment below.
If you enjoy the video, consider subscribing, as I plan to release additional ones more often. In the near future, I'll also be posting some AOM drawings for sale on Etsy. If you've got any tips or have specific interests, just let me know.
This cinematic was made using the "Age of Mythology™: The Titans Expansion Pack" video game, with the intent of garnering favor for future expansions of the game, as well as creative expression. The final version of the New X Editor (available at AOM Heaven) was utilized, and all units and sounds are original to the game, with no mods being used.
Special thanks to the shieldmaiden Jane, a true Valkyrie, and the inspiration to follow through to the end on this project.

Glad to see there's still such amazing people still dedicated to creating such well crafted content of this beautifull game even as far as in 2019.

What is the mad king doing here?
This video has a length of 4:40 minutes but it feels like 1 hour of pure art.
I have nothing but respect for this man, ended up in Hel, and yet even though he died in battle and no Valkyrie came to help him to Valhalla, he had the perseverance to walk there himself. What a mad lad and he certainly earned his spot in Valhalla. Traveling literally from the bottom to the top of the World tree is no minor feat and the gods should be happy to have a man like him

@AOM Visions Got to say you've done excellent here expanding the scale of the mythos and the world at large with your visual stories. I wonder if all of us are lucky enough to have our own journey like the cinematic you have shared when our times come up. I know these concepts are deemed as mythology but sometimes you just got to wonder.

I look forward to exploring the many aspects of the game, including civilizations, god powers, units, music, and themes (eg, economy, warfare, etc).

Guy at 0:38, this is so well done! And hilarious! Not to mention all the eyecandy and design tricks that were used in that video. I feel both humbled but daunted to say that still shots of this cinematic would hands down rival the decades of screenshot competition entries here at AoMH. My favorite being 1:01, 3:09, 3:50 and 4:20. The rest being spectacular nonetheless.
