I am really hyped for this new chapter of AoM and I hope that this will bring you the viewers you deserve, Boit. After years of keeping AoM alive, in which you played a big part, we now finally have the game we all deserve. So it’s only fair that you now get a bit more attention and an even bigger community!
@@pW0ztv This closed beta is only for the weekend, and only for those who've pre-ordered the premium edition. Just wait a while. It'll come out in September.
@@pW0ztv yeah, I played the campaign and one ranked game so far. Makes a lot of fun. Of course there are a few bugs here and there, but overall I really enjoy it.
Mr.Boit, after years of anticipation, I felt the urge to kindly thank you for keeping the community alive till today. I hope that AoM relives it's past glory, with your shining as well.
I really appreciate you making educational content for this game. Even if I will never have the time to put into competitive (Pokèmon VGC is my vice of choice), it’s so fascinating watching someone break down something they love like this. Your content has made watching games of AoM more enjoyable because I have a deeper understanding of what’s going on and why.
Hunting Dogs got moved to Heroic Age, which an additional benefit of increasing your Villager's hp. I like the change of moving it from the Archaic Age, as it was almost mandatory to get. I do dislike moving it all the way to Heroic Age however. I get why it's in Heroic Age right now, as the hp increase it now provides is a security increase against raids for your economy. But i think it should be split, so that you can get Hunting Dogs in the Classical Age, where you are more likely to still be on hunt and haven't build any/few farms. You can then gatekeep the health increase in Heroic Age behind getting Hunting Dogs from Classical Age.
As a result, there is no need to compete for hunt on the map in earlygame. Other food sources are close enough so you won't want to risk your villagers. The entire shtick "turtle with far worse food or expand with high risk" has been removed. I'm curious to see how that plays out. Seems like the game pace will take up a little bit slower now and the gold starve becomes the first (not second) potential win condition of a game. On another note, I don't get why they didn't unify the archaic economy within each civilization. If we have to learn new build orders anyway, they could have done that. Now a Greek can still play all 3 gods perfectly fine, whereas all 3 Eggy are now more different as before and all 3 Norse still needs separate build orders - people will still be restricted to main 1 god instead of 1 civ, bummer.
8 food - 3 gold - 4 wood - temple with first three woods bills. Those three stay to pray. Get back to 4 on wood. Two gold. Then food. It lines up really nice!
this is the kind of videos that i want BUT i'd prefer it to have one video dedicated to every major god... so you dont have to rush or oversimplify things i know is a lot to ask for and a lot of work but i think is worth specially because of the exponential growth that AoM will have this year Spirit of the Law is an AoE2 youtuber who has broken down to a science how to do this, i'd advice to check out his videos if you were to analyze every single major god on its own video
Insane ! Already build orders !! Boit make some collabs with the big aoe4 names: aussie drongo and fitzbro ! Its time for you to shine with your knowledge and get big subscriber numbers !
Hmm there are many things I really like about Retold. Been playing for a while now. I've noticed there's also ballistics now as in AoE2. Some stuff is too close to AoE4 for me, the minimap is one example. The clumping of the units another. Selecting them one by one and stuff felt much easier on AoM. The UI is meeeh too. Feels like another modernization done without love. Could be worse, but could have been better too. Same for the multiplayer area. ESO felt themed, immersive (UI wise). Retold doesn't. I like what they've done with the god powers. Favour becomes a more valuable ressource and something to think about more. And I LOVE how the armor and weapons change with class upgrades and also armor upgrades. Watching the pleb hoplites become semi gods is kinda nice. I zoomed in whenever an upgrade was close to hit just to witness it. Attack move is in too now which is cool. It selects now all the idle vills in the area of the initial idle vill which is a cool feature too. Overall they had some nice thoughts which have been implemented. Performance didn't feel that good though. Just some random thoughts :P
Quick question about the Egyptian gods, since Ra in particular can let you empower one monument to empower several buildings around it. Is it better to build the monument before you gather would and then immediately put your pharaoh onto it as you gather resources to go classical, or is it better to keep empowering granary and then make the switch on transition? Also, is monument against the town center the best spot a la eco guild?
I hate it when remastered games do this. Yes the graphics look great however there is a lot of visual clarity lost in the process. Units blend a bit more with the environment now.
Was watching a bunch of streams, i get people want the charm of the old aom, but i am excited, but also bummed… i have an old pc and need to upgrade to play😢
If you played as Thor, that is intended and has also been like that in the original game: "Dwarves cost -10 Gold and gather Food and Wood 25% faster." (That is exactly the amount that the Dwarves' base rate is below the Villagers' base rate.)
All Greek heroes switch to ranged attack against flying units and regenerate permanently. But you indeed only get access to a pure ranged hero in the Heroic Age.
Well 2 years waiting and I am dissapointed. I was like 2200rr on EE, voobly was not work for me. Buy better version for play yesterday and game not work on my MSI game 3y old notebook for 1K €. It told me Shader model too low. Which means my GPU ( graphic ) not passible start the game. I am traveling a lot so definitely not buying Idk new one just for this game. Maybe it ends up more people will still play on EE just for this reason. I found game expect very decent PC graphics.
What Ulfsark? They are Berserks now 😂 (Don't know why they changed the name). But yes, now female villagers don't turn male just because they put on a pelt. The upgrade option on Villagers is now named "Go Berserk".

Cant agree more. This guy is a Legend!
@@pW0ztv Absolutely and AoM Retold will also be legendary 😃
@@Benni_Wr i need to buy it tomorrow 😅 just cant wait, need to play atleast 6 days now 😂😂

I love this dedication. I knew you wouldn't miss this.
I’m liking retold so far
Boit speedier than an anubite during eclipse
Let’s go BoIt! I love yours speed in releasing the video! :)
This game looks great. Even the tutorial was improved. Hopefully AoM will hit big among RTS scene!
Thanks for everything you do
I just love this so much. Thank you Boit!

Some great insights here! You can share your feedback on the official channels. Let's see what the devs can do until September.

Is it better to build the monument before you gather would and then immediately put your pharaoh onto it as you gather resources to go classical, or is it better to keep empowering granary and then make the switch on transition?

quick af
WHOOOOO YEAH BABY
I hate it when remastered games do this.
Yes the graphics look great however there is a lot of visual clarity lost in the process. Units blend a bit more with the environment now.
True, if new players dont know the mechanics can even miss "wow thats a gold mine , i should get the gold from there"
Gold mines hard to see imo, animals too, visuals on Heros and Set animals too (cant easily tell wat hero is or animals) etc..
if you turn down some of the settings it has less of a "blended" look.
@@jotham123 can u recommend which ones i should turn down to reduce the "blend" effect?
Is Autoqueue still there?
Yep
It's only for villagers now in regular games. No AQ military.
@@channelchannelhoorah1785 AQ villagers is always present. AQ military is optional, the host of a lobby decides whether it is enabled or not.
Is there DAY/NIGHT cycle in the game !?😮😮
How do I enable the villy autoqueue on the Town Centres? I can only do it for the Village Centres...
There's a search within the settings for hotkeys search "auto..." it was Alt+Q
richt click on the village icon at the town center
Was watching a bunch of streams, i get people want the charm of the old aom, but i am excited, but also bummed… i have an old pc and need to upgrade to play😢
Make a video of improvements you’d like to see for the devs.
Do you have this video also for EOM?
Nicee
Will my 1060 6gb + i3 9100f be able to run this in FHD?
I'd be shocked if it didn't tbh.
It looks the same. Does it feel the same though?
Is Atlantean not in beta?
Not in this one apparently. You could check out the tech tree and unit legend section though, so it was kind of visible already.
😎😎
How to download ?? I have premium edition and I can’t find it on steam
you have to maximize the steam screen and restart the application.
Ptah is green now? lol
Voobly is best
dont like it, looks like aom 4 :C
Yeah, it kinda misses the charm of the old AoM. Too cartoony
I spotted the Dwarf mining at the same speed asthe villager, >:( valveplz fix
If you played as Thor, that is intended and has also been like that in the original game: "Dwarves cost -10 Gold and gather Food and Wood 25% faster." (That is exactly the amount that the Dwarves' base rate is below the Villagers' base rate.)
Why is Heracles like 3 feet tall
Oh no, wdym no Odysseous in clasical
Tbh Heracles was kinda trash, too expensive and not much better than the classical

I played and streamed on a $1200 AUD laptop. You just need to make sure what you get is geared towards gaming.
wheres the atty build order? lmao
I'll get it out as soon as I get a look at them! 😜
btw, was that ulfsark female?? 😳😳😳
What Ulfsark? They are Berserks now 😂 (Don't know why they changed the name). But yes, now female villagers don't turn male just because they put on a pelt. The upgrade option on Villagers is now named "Go Berserk".
Очень много деталей в игре. Прям переизбыток. Думаю, что в катках, где 8 и более игроков, будет тупить из-за такой детализации
i dont think i have this game
dAMN YR FAST LIKE YR NICKNAME d:
why does this look like a mobile game? :o
I dont Like it
It should be more realistic But it isnt…
Its cartoonish and childish a bit. The movements of the gatherer Are also unrealistic
Oh I can’t help but get very disappointed to see ai generated images being used as God art. Smh.
You wouldn't even know if they were hand drawn lol
@@Crobian why wouldn’t I? I’m an art major. Better yet; I have two functioning eyes on my face.
I expected something better from graphic and animations, I'm disappointed
Yuck! Why are they using the old AOE engine and not AOE4???
Its the AoE3 Definitive Edition engine. Looks better on a PC monitor though in case you watch on mobile^^.
Bruh.. this looks much more better then aoe 4
