This man’s enthusiasm and passion for the game is contagious. His energy brings me back when I was a kid playing AoM for the first time. ❤ Can’t wait! ^^
The soundtrack sounds very similar from the leaked gameplay that has made the rounds on the internet. Given that we haven’t been able to switch soundtracks for the definitive age games I am gonna assume we won’t be able to do it for AoM Retold
@@foxden2112 They kept the soundtrack for AoE3 exactly the same with new special intro themes for all of the civs. I’d love to see something like this.
Just to share a bit, this game was not only my childhood but it really seeded my mind with the mythology of Atlantis that now, at 30 i have a Published book (fantasy/fiction) about Atlantis.
@@raptorhacker599 It is Called "Atlantida - A Guerra Lemuriana" (Atlantis - The Lemurian War) I'm Brazilian so (for now) it is only in portuguese. But be my guest to buy the E-book :D
I wonder if Hathor has been switched out for Sobek. I'd like that because it makes much more sense since the Petsuchos' correct name - as we can see in Retold - is Petsobek which means "descendant of Sobek". I also hope that Trolls, Promethians, Wadjets, Fenris Wolves and Manticores get buffed. They are very weak compared to other myth units in the same age.
Yes, I clearly remember them being most useless. Specially the winged snake. Trolls can pack some punch is you mass them, which was difficult to do in the OG where myth units cost a lot of pop and the game has a very low pop cap.
Don't know if Sobek was put instead of Hathor, but the name of the Petsuchos has changed, they did another video giving an insight about the game after Summer game fest (I think it's on the Xbox channel on TH-cam) and they show at some point some attacking units and when they select the Petsuchos it says Petsobek :) if I find the video and the timestamp I will share it here!
This is looking to be on one heck of a game. I grew up with this game. I can't wait to revisit it. My one grip is the Gaia redesign. Feeling like my Goddess Titan of the whole earth has been nerfed into a tree.
I am very happy with the redesign. It went from "guys we have to ship the game out but we don't have a design for Gaia - 'just make it a big woman and ship it'" to actually looking like the personification of earth
ITS THE OTHER WAY ROUND SHE GOT ELEVATED! why should a higher anient beeing which represtens earth look like a lesser being like a human? also she looks still quite "femine" for a tree and brings her more in line with dryads!
@Tristanimator_ The files are still there, no need to replace them, and if you want to add more missions, I think we are at the point where they can use Ai. If the actors allow
Earnest is earnestly enthusiastic about this game and I love it. You can tell he loves Age of Mythology Retold and is excited to share it with everyone ❤
@@MaxHohenstaufen Retold it's going to use an upgraded version of the aoe3 engine, so let's hope the requirements don't change too much. btw aoe4 it's good, but I advise you to wait for retold lmao
I hope the Scenario Editor is just as good as the original if not better. And I hope that all the new functionality and triggers people have added since 2002 are still possible.
Now if only we can get the same teams working on the Warcraft games, since they're all under the Microsoft umbrella. I would LOVE to see a remake of Warcraft 2 done by these guys!
Can't wait! I'm very curious though about the "original concept" you mentioned at ~07:11 minutes. Does that mean, that we can expect even more gameplay changes than the renewable god powers? What does this mean for the campaign (it is altered to fit the new/changed gameplay)? What about the synchronisation of the game? Are there new voice lines and are they from a new cast entirely or can we look forward to the iconic original cast (in all languages) we are grew up to and only the new dialogue is done by a cast?
I would like you to talk a little about what the multiplayer experience will be like, will there be dedicated servers, an accessible scoring system, seasons, etc.? They haven't said anything so far.
@@ageofempiresfor you to ask what about it indicates some level of neglect. The music of AOM is beloved just like the game. The fact that there has been no showcase of the soundtrack and this “what about it” makes me feel like we are in for an underwhelming soundtrack experience. I hope you prove me wrong
I think re usable godpowers is a great addition. Can't wait to zeus bolt a myth unit every time one comes over early. Curious to see how they balance that though. Also can't wait to see what new factions they add. Still would prefered a new aom but I'll settle for it being upgraded and some new content. Maybe if it does well we get an aom 2?
Really excited for this one, it will be a unique experience to see it in new clothes being able to compare and appreciate what's new and also congratz for reaching the 100K fans!
How moddable will the game be? Any news on how mod support will work? (tools for exporting models and animations, textures and such) Is Freyr being added as a major or minor god?

Honestly speaking, I think the Accent was not necessary because during that age English probably didn't exist anyway, they basically spoke GREEK, or whichever language, so accent wasn't really necessary man
This is so amazing ❤ I really wanted to ask if there is going to be come expansion on Indian Pantheon Indian Mythology is rich with so much lore and culture and i am hoping you guys would make something out of if it
No new information. I would like to know if the net code has client side prediction and state reconciliation so that the most laggy players do not slow the game down for everyone. These features are nowhere to be seen in the AOE franchise and it makes no sense in 2024. We want a strongly performing MULTIPLAYER game without constant lag and desyncs
@@DarkMSG Sorry to say, but if auto queue is all it takes for it to be no skill gap between you and a new player - than that's your skill issue ^^ but don't worry, less than 5% of the playebase played more than a single online match in their lives so vast majority of people won't judge you for your lack of skill :)
Why do they keep saying people keep their god power?? Did they ever play the game? Like no one does that, on the contrary you often use it immediately, especially the mythic one.
Age Of Empires IV graphics are far better than Age Of Mythology: Retold, So I am not impressed but anyway, I am happy that there is a new Mythology game on its way.
Autoqueue is the normal. Having to think about refilling your villager production and having to do it manually should never have existed in ANY rts. It's basically as stupid as if workers didn't automatically return resources when they hit their carry capacity AND didn't go back to gather once they dropped it off
@@Stikarii NO, most of the strats in AOE2 would never work with Auto que ask any AOE2 player they will say NO it's for casual RTS not for Competitive high skill gap RTS that's why AOE2 is the most fun most Balanced AOE game
@@DarkMSG The "strats" you talk about would just evolve and be better if the player's attention wasn't sunk in a menial, repetitive, numb task. The strategies high-level players would be able to come up with and experiment would be more amazing if the game allowed them to by freeing their attention from microing the town center all the time. Mechanical "skill" should never be too important in strategy games or else the strategy aspect completely vanishes. Using your brain to outsmart the enemy should be what people call "skill" in this genre.
@@Stikarii mechanical skill and micro is so important but strategy has a greater impact and contribution to winning the game, as a Lower E-APM player I win most games against higher Effective-APM players with better strategies.""or else the strategy aspect completely vanishes"" NO IT DOESN'T BETTER STRATEGY WINS ANYWAY. What are you talking about, have you played any RTS at high ELO?
My hope is that the game won't be as much min-max'd as AOE2 is. That ruined the fun for me a little bit. Very strict build orders, META's, and Very strong CIV's dictate how you HAVE to play
@warbreakr I play all kinds of modern rts. Wc3, Sc2, AoE2-4, AoM and already playtested ZeroSpace and Stormgate as well. I'm interested in Tempest Rising too, but havent found anyone who could get me in :(
@@Indipender that’s awesome but my point was, I’ve played AOE2 a lot at a medium-high competitive level and for me it really starts to lose its soul and fun because you’re just repeating a super precise build without much room for your own input until the later stages of the game. It’s a personal preference thing but the super precise build orders kinda ruined it for me
@warbreakr if you truly played it, you wouldn't say such dumb things. Watch any pro aoe2 game. None is the same. If your claim were true, every match would end one way and with one unit combo. That is not the case. Ergo, what you say simply isn't true.
Game illustrations, god portraits (when u choose them during age up) in game looks incredibly cheap and tasteless, please make them better, you did an amazing job and those awful art doesn't fit the high quality of the game, they look like they are from cheap mobile game...

We love that Earnest's passion comes across. Can confirm he has great energy!
I thought the same, makes me smile along.
Passionate people will make an amazing game. Can’t wait!!!
He is very earnest.
Is it possible that we could choose between the original and new soundtrack whilst playing? The original just has so much nostalgic value.
That's what im hoping too! 😀👍
There'll be mods if not
We need details on the soundtrack period

Finally, Pantheons' Powers are 'rechargeable', this was the only thing which annoyed me during my plays.
Ngl, I'm more hyped about the second expansion than the remaster itself, hoping they bring a Mesoamerican pantheon (Olmec, Mayan or Aztec)
I'm hoping for a Finnic pantheon. I am well awateit will not be in the first 3 or 5, but I am praying for one day to get that :)
Hoping for Sumerian pantheon.

I used to pick Gaia because of her assets.

Looks Amazing! Only one thing bothers me, did you change the original voice acting for the main heroes, if yes I'll be very disappointed
I dont think they can find the same voice actors from 20 years ago
@Tristanimator_ The files are still there, no need to replace them, and if you want to add more missions, I think we are at the point where they can use Ai. If the actors allow

Dedicated servers, for sure. That's been the case with all the AOE remasters.
I really like that Gea is now like a Dryad.
ME TOO
Why have the team been silent about the beloved soundtrack? I want to hear some news please!
What questions do you have?

I'm anxiously waiting for that day to come.
Please, you guys need add Persian Mythology as well specially from Shahnameh! Thanks
Will Retold still allow mods, map editing, etc.?
YES
I hope there is co-op against A.I. that's my favorite part of AOE4
'They listened...' yes they have been listening for more than 20 years to just release Retold version...
