Agreed. RTS games need more features like this and if people want to be competitive and have tournaments, can turn those settings off.

Been an Age player since '97, enjoying each title from their release. AOM will always be the most underrated MVP, as well as AOE III. Love the OG AOE and remember hyping hard for the Age of Kings but AOM is pure memories

I get the competitive argument against the villager assist settings but it feels like whenever devs try to cater to a competitive type of player, the fanbase dwindles and dies because it is no longer made for the player its made for the winner.

It's a silly superiority thing anyway. Queuing up villagers on time is not a skill that makes you a better player, just overwhelms beginners. I'd rather have people focus on fun stuff like fights instead of villager production.

I’ve actually never heard of this game until the recent trailer but loved Warcraft 3, age of empires 2, starcraft, tiberian sun, and C&C generals so I’m excited to get into another RTS. The genre of my childhood

Age of Mythology combined with the Percy Jackson books have given me a lifelong interest in Mythology and Religions in general. Ever since I was five years old, I haven’t went a year without diving deep into a new Mythology.

Very cool 😎 I played so much of this game through my early teens, became obsessed with mythology and pantheons. A reboot of this is incredible

@@nickstoned8660 That’s phenomenal news. Thanks for taking the time to share it!

This will be the best Remake Ever. I played Age of Mythology alot when I was Kid and experienced the Atlantis Expansion and now I can't wait to play it this year.

The villager priority is what is going to make me buy the game. I dont have enough time to be a sweat on this like before. But I love to tactically play without having a phd in resource management, just give me an army and an enemy to defeat, W for the devs and dads haha. A toggle feature would be nice for ranked competitive though

arkantos and his son kastor's AoM campaign stories are legendary and unforgettable in my childhood... i hope the AoM Retold Dev will even expand to more campaign scenarios and new characters with unique gameplay design per missions because imo its the best part of AoM (I'm not a competitive player, would rather just play with skirmish AI if I'm playing some random match)

Did I just read "Controller" ????? Does that mean....we get CONTROLLER SUPPORT on PC ????? Does that mean we can play from the COUCH? On a STEAM DECK ?????? PRE-PURCHASED, Mic drop.

Haven't heard those sounds in a long time! lol

Auto train villagers should be in AOE4 too

So stoked for this! But i do hope they polish the UI a lil more. But still beyond hyped for this! Played the first one like 1000 hours

Presets for casual is the most cleaver thing that this kind of a game could have!!

Ah yes! AOM 2 looks simply amazing! This retold version of AOM feels different enough to me. Just would have loved a day/night cycle. I know not everyone’s fav thing but I’d love it. The custom eco thing I don’t think is a bad thing but I also think once you get so fine tune to build orders you won’t really use that feature at all. Also testing out villager centers is quite fun. You can really boom your eco or treat them like manors for Atlantis just without pop increase but damage instead. Better way to safely be bold and boom at the same time. Tho I think it will take some getting use to.

The villager assist needs some work. It has a terrible habit of putting all my vils on wood, or no vils on wood. It also enjoys taking Norse dwarfs off gold to put them on other resources. Other than that, this is a really good remake and I love it.

All of these new QoL features are genuinely incredible.

The favorite Game of my childhood get's a 2nd chance leeeeeets goooo

Ah, I didn't even know there was a closed beta available for purchase. I have it preordered but I'm going to wait until September. It looks great and will definitely be nostalgic of my childhood.

Watching you explain your build order really got that Drongo FFA itch going

Still have my box copy of Age of Mythology and the expansion, definitely was one of my absolutely favorite childhood games.

Drongo, did they keep the best part of the original? Giving the Myth Units Taxonomy? Scientific names? If yes, this will be a no brainer buy for me. Grew up on AoM and the Titans.

the ground... it's so cool... the small details on the animals and soldiers...Really cool it flows cool like the fps the move ...I don't know how it gonna be in the end but now it is looking really beautiful and the color of the civ(green) is soooo beautiful they glow really cool lol

so its a real HD update now? i thought it was going to be reworked as something new

This game was my childhood.

@Univerzocker

Ай бұрын

Me too.

Automatic villager production feel reasonable to me, because it reduces apm/multi-tasking but not decision making. The resource balancing, however, takes away from you deciding what locations on the map your villagers work at, which I don't care for as much.

Was obsessed with aom IN 4th to 6th grade. Im 30 now and cant wait to dive back in haha

Let's go mate. 6am Sat morning & was not expecting AoM. YES MAATE!

Brings me back, looks beautiful. I've had AoM on steam for YEARSSSSS time to get this.

The auto allocate vills setting is good for kids getting into an RTS and its only available in custom game so imo its a great option to have for those who would want something like that.

RTS lost a lot of popularity because of the skill gap and APM requirements. The best way to bring people to the genre is to make it widely accessible. The answer to the more automated gameplay is to remove it from ranked entirely, or have 2 separate ranked modes. A no automation mode, and vise versa.

As a casual player of many games, I like simple controls. I get to game like 2hours a week. I’m not trying to relax not relearn algebra.

The new gods look Ai esque , not like old paintings of the ancient civilizations

The amount of nostalgia it bring back to see this game again The automation is good, don’t like it though But the fact we can use it or not is good

Why are so many people complaining about the "auto" mechanics that are in the game currently? Y'all are genuinely already bitching about competitive play when the game isn't even done lmfao -- it's not even close to balanced in its current state either, yet nobody is complaining about that. Things will change over time and things will get fixed over time. The "auto play" mechanics should, ideally, be disabled for competitive/ranked play but kept enabled or toggleable for casual or vs AI gameplay. It makes RTS games more digestible and easier for new players to play.. thus increasing the population and popularity of rts games. It's like you guys WANT to gate-keep and keep RTS games on a dying trend.

somehow i never played this even tho im big into RTS lol glad they made a new version of it, i cant get the old one to start somehow, it just wont work so im happy to try it out

I like the graphical upgrade, but I hate how they changed the art of the gods. The egyptian animal gods look like AI parodies. The original design of Kronos looked so much more imposing than the new one.

HELL YEAH Age of Mythology HYPE

Finally a Mythology video!

Here's hoping for more retold content from you!

Age of Mythology was my first rts lets goooo!

I am all in favor of auto-queue, even in ranked. Back in AoE 1, there was not even queue system. The player can only produce a single unit or tech and wait to produce again. It makes the game harder and less fun. In my opinion the focus should be microing the battles and planning the macro with your strategy/gameplan, instead of focusing on recurring actions per minute just to maintain your eco/production. Now let's talk about the viewership, what we want? Great battles. So auto-queue is aligned for the players focusing more on the battle. Also, the auto-produce (even auto-eco) will NOT handle raids. So the player has to do the actions to defend from raids and adjust the eco accordingly

It's not that I don't like change. I like change just fine: It's that they're just *REMOVING* gameplay. AOM is a strategy game, and part of the strategy is learning to manage your economy.
