Great game, great caster, glad to see this one getting some excitement and attention.

ngl this guy is a really good caster, really great job even if you kinda new to AOM!

Damn a 15% discount on the already cheap Egyptian Slingers is really good, if Set makes them cheaper still in Retold, it could make them really cost effective and if you take the gods that buff archers, it's even better!

Something I'm noticing right now is that player's aren't yet taking advantage of the huge amounts of extra Favor you get in Retold. Both players were sitting on a lot of extra Favor and some extra Myth units probably would've gone a long way to helping one side win out over the other.

The custard skills really transfer over when it comes to custard games 1:46

To me 😂 it's like Age of Empires III got a ... Complete Fantasy Overhaul and I Love it 😂❤

Half of me being happy that one of my childhood favourite game got "retold", both watching or playing it sounds fun. Half of me being sad that AOE4 seems got ditched by Relic and Microsoft, I haven't played season 7 after getting Conqueror within the first week, thought we may have a big big patch of changes for season 8, and they gave us this poopoo patch, also that great insult from Redbull, sounds it is dying to me.

What's with the rain of arrows from off screen? Happened a few times, such as 11:44. I don't remember that being a god power. If I'm not mistaken, military units in AOM only have 1 'class', so chariot archers are only archers, not cavalry.

AOM was a huge part of my childhood and my favorite game growing up. So happy to see a solid remake happening. The campaign and story has always been the most important thing to me about RTS games, and the AOM story was epic, which is part of the reason why I think their is so much interest and anticipation for Retold. However, I just played the initial tutorial and first campaign mission and was very disappointed to find that Microsoft have not keep the original voice actors from the original game. The voice acting was so good in the originals (especially Arkantos and Ajax) and replaying through the campaign with different voices makes the game seem foreign to me rather than familiar. Not sure if others feel the same way, but it completely ruins the nostalgia and immersion for me! Drongo I know you haven't played the original game before but please use your powers of influence at Microsoft to ask them to bring back the original character voices!!!
