- 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.

This video has a length of 4:40 minutes but it feels like 1 hour of pure art.
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.
:)
@@Anraheir bro please make some war loaded
@@Anraheir seriously though, these cinematics are incredible.... how long did it take you to make this one?
What is the mad king doing here?
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
I have begun designing the scenes for my next cinematic project. It will take time, but it's underway. Stay tuned!
AOM Visions dude you’re just great keep up the good work
we a re waitinggggg!
@@gemo3644 Haha, I know - it's been a while, but ongoing. I've been revamping the project and continue to make new scenes :)
@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.
@@robosoldier11 Thank you, friend. All must make the journey, so all will find out :)
Aom shouldve hired you for the Chinese expansion, this was unreal
Hey, I appreciate it. I haven't tried the Chinese expansion but if they ever fix it up, I'm all game :)
@@Anraheir I've got it and I'll tell ya this: the Chinese civilisation is fun to play as, but the Tale of The Dragon campaign sucks and the cinematics are hugely downgraded from the other AOM campaigns.
@@jozinek876 TRUE!
@@Omega-jg4oq That's an interesting way to say you don't know enough to know you have bad taste
Dude you should do more Aom cinematics in the future
I plan on that.
Coming this 2020... "Age of Mythology™: Tributary Travels (Cinematic)"
Can't wait!
@@ReginaldPugginton Thanks!
Releasing soon?
@@stephenjonathan1034 Unfortunately, no. Despite progress (already got the prologue and a few journey scenes done) I've not completed the project; work schedule hasn't helped either... best to dig in and and not rush it. I should wrap up in the next few months, however. After that, an exciting Atlantean cinematic is already in development (in my mind, at least).
@@Anraheir ok bro take your time.It is better to wait for good cinematic than to upload a unfinished one...
The battle, the creatures, the scenery and worlds, you've given everything so much depth and weight that it has transcended everything I've ever seen done with the aom cinematics. 2:58 had me gasping.
Thanks for the compliment and for watching! I very much enjoyed making the scenes. There's currently an Egyptian cinematic in the works - loving it :)
Art in its purest form. I feel cleansed. Can’t wait for the next one!
Thank you for the sincere compliment :)
I cant find a single word to describe my feelings about that amazing stuff. My childhood game, good times, good memories you have just bring to me with this beautiful work. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching!
1000 subscribers! Thank you all for your support! I’m wrapping up an upcoming Egyptian cinematic. After that, be on the look out for some shorter (but still cool) cinematics. I look forward to exploring the many aspects of the game, including civilizations, god powers, units, music, and themes (eg, economy, warfare, etc).
This the story of an Einherji who was not chosen by a Valkyrie for Valhall and won his place there with sheer persistence, climbing out of Helheim and through the worlds.
Hehe, hell of a plot.
This is absolutely incredible. It's amazing that you can create such a diversity of scenery with Age of Mythology.
Thanks for the compliment :)
I really love how you make bridges. And my favourite scene was inside the dwarves' caves when Prometheus appears from the dark.
Using the game's own illumination system to make a really gorgeous scene was genious!
I dont care how dated the graphics are, and the fact the game has weird things happening to me when I run it on Windows 10. AoM hands down to me will always be the best Age of Empires game, and it warms to see people are still passionate about the game today!
Wow!! This is AWESOME!! 🤩💪👏⚡️ **saved to favorites **
Gracias :)
You are a God! That was incredible creating these thank you!
legend has it hes still walking
The eternal sleep... walking.
I really like AoM, and I love your interpretations of the Nine Worlds.
So, we've got Midgard (0:01), Niflheim (1:15), Muspellheim (2:06), Jotunheim (2:22), Nidavellir/Svartalfheim (2:43), Alfheim (3:08), Vanaheim (somewhere around 3:54 ?), and then Asgard (4:25).
Am I missing one?
Good job. There's Helheim at 1:15 (if you put on the captions, you'll see each world labeled with its first scene).
@@Anraheir Extremely good job!
Waffogram You're a true Norse mythological underworld expert ;)
@@oni741 Thanks!
@@waffogram7280 don't mention it.
*God Jul or Happy Yule* ;-)
one of the BEST Age of Mythology videos ever!
Thanks for watching. I'm slowly but steadily working on an Egyptian video :)
Absolutely incredible mastery over the engine as usual. Beautifully done.
Check out "War", my latest video right here: th-cam.com/video/Rba_63Y27_k/w-d-xo.html
Please keep making these I love watching them.
I have no words man , this video is pure awesomeness. I would definitely watch some more. Keep it up man ;)
Thanks.
the guy getting crushed at 0:36 was gold
Thanks! Yeah, I never get tired of watching that scene.
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.
Thanks, Eurotool! I too admire your past work - been a fan all these years :). Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've more ideas for future cinematics (I've slowly, but steadily begun work on my next project), so stay tuned.
This is amazing! I could totally watch a full movie or series made like this!
This is so beautiful, watching your videos making me love Age of Mythology more and more.
Glad to hear it :)
Amazing work O_O ! I would love to see campaigns made by you with this type of cinematics haha !
This is sooo epic. I cant put into words hm work this musta took, nor could I evn put in words how hard itd be to try lmao; Amazing great job as alwayss
absolute kudos to you man, your videos are absolutely amazing, hope this channel keeps growing, you deserve it!!!
Thank you for watching :)
1:19 onwards - How my grandpa describes getting to school
what a beatiful game and cinematic, is just simply beautiful, keep going with this
Thank you! I'm already working on my next project :)
I've always wanted to make a 30-45 minute movie using the AoM editor. Never had the time but it seems like it would work so well for it.
Wow man. Amazing content.
Thanks man!
Wow, this is incredible! So creative, and everything feels like it has an epic scale. So cool to see all the myth units and Titans used so creatively. I particularly liked the part with the Norse Titan barely visible in the distant mountains, and all the giants. So cool. Brings back the magic and mythology this game had when I was a kid. Thank you so much for the great work!
Ian O'Lear I appreciate the compliment. Yeah, designing in this game is lots of fun - endless possibilities for a title this old.
Dude this is crazy 👌👌👌👌
Such a Beautiful piece. The Sound Track for this game is truly ahead of its time.
This game is legendary. Like Heroes III or Diablo II. Many hours in this world was truly something else. Loved every second of it.
THIS IS JUST FUCKING AMAZING, #suggestion final battle scene of chronicles of Narnia would be amazing too
Hehe, thanks mate for the suggestion.
Check out my newest 20th anniversary video right here: th-cam.com/video/S5ay72esJog/w-d-xo.html
Wow... Had no idea the creative potential in AOM editor. Incredible. Favorite scene was the market with all the people and oxes walking around. So natural
Thanks. Yeah, I enjoy making the city scenes :)
That was amazing! This was really beautifully done. All the waiting was worth it :)
Thank you. It has inspired me to create more. I'm currently working on another project :)
I'm excited!
This looks great. Beautiful design it kept me focused from the beginning until the end
Thank you :)
Magnificent. Amazing work, my dude.
Thanks!
Amazing, awesome !! Can't stop watching !!! Also thanks for adding spanish subtitles :) espectacular !!
Btw which units did u use for the vanir?
@@leandrolugo8344 Lampades.
This is amazing. I am stunned. Scenes looks so well designed. Professional. Brings my old memories, when i was making my own maps as kid.
Thanks for watching!
I have no words ! Thank you
None needed :)
I would love to see more battle scenarios like what we saw in the beginning. That would be glorious. You did such a great job here. Little to no dialogue, but perfectly conveyed everything. I really love this dude ^^
Thank you. The battles are a pleasure to design, though coordinating the movements is a challenge in itself. Currently I'm working on the Egyptian portion of my "Journey" series. I have other plans for cinematics, most of which include battles. Stay tuned.
Al Kane yes I can imagine. I love using the editor myself, however, I suck at computer work all together so what you made here is simply light years beyond me so it really impressed me. I look forward to what you’ll do next. I’m sure the Egyptian one will be just as great XD
@@thenethralking6032 Thank you. Editor skills take time to build. I encourage you to pursue your creative ideas.
I love it. Very contemplative. Also, the graphic engine still does wonders.
Legend has it that to this day that huscarl is still walking
Death is an infinite journey.
God damn dude I have no idea how I've stumbled across this but it's amazing
Thanks! I appreciate the view.
Really good job, this game gives me nostalgia and the cinematic is just unreal, keep up the good work :)
I appreciate the compliment. Keep on playing :)
This Cinematic is a nice reflection of Norse mythology, Amazing!
Thanks!
God damn that was sick, hate how it took me this long to find this art.
Thanks for watching!
Amigo se me salió una lagrima cuando vi este video y decía hace 8 meses porque yo vi tu anterior video cuando pasaba por Tiempos difíciles y ahora verte nuevamente activo simplemente es hermoso :)
Gracias hermano. Espero que todo te vaya bien. Sigo diseñando poco a poco.
@@Anraheir Habrá un nuevo video entonces?
@@ΘΕΟΦΑΝΩΚΟΜΝΗΝΟΣ Sí, ya tengo algunas escenas hechas. El trabajo continúa.
Man, I know the audience for this kind of content is so low but.... man you deserve some love, you are awesome!!!
Caio Alexandre Troti Caetano hehe, thanks dude. AOM is one of my favorite hobbies - audience size is irrelevant. Thanks for watching.
It's pure awesomeness, thank you
Hey, thanks for watching :)
This is amazing man. Truly a work of art. The giants marching and fighting in the distance/background was incredible. Every little detail from the fight scene at the beginning through the end. Just pure creativity. Simple, yet many-layered. 5/5
Thank you! Glad you were able to check out the video. Really appreciate the comment.
my dude out here casually escaping hell
Absolutely beautiful, well done man!
Hey, thanks for watching dude.
I love you for making this video. I love this game. I will always love this game.
Truly excellent - age of mythology lives!
It does, and it always will :)
Still and always will be one of the best games ever made I think. There's hints that there will be a sequel too. As for the video, amazing job that's talent you have there!
Thank you for watching the cinematic :) . I do hope the game will have a sequel.
This is just beautiful work, what you've been able to make with AoM assets.
Thanks! Got more ideas for future videos. Stay tuned :)
u are a legend man AOM should get this legend of this
Thanks for watching. I appreciate the compliment. Spread the word :)
2:04 I adore that frost Titan in the background!! It feels so epic the world you are crafting and use of draw distance for scale!!
Thank you :)
You seriously need to keep working on these, they were so beautiful!!!
Thanks, working on an Egyptian one - on the way.
Amazing work, I am a huge AoM fan, hopefully you keep up the good work!
Awesome! Absolutely fantastic! Thanks for sharing, all the best, take care, stay safe, and keep up the good work! Simply amazing, as usual! 🙂
I watched this having my breakfast. On the way back home from work, I realised, "hey, I want to watch that again!" Wonderful work
Thanks!
The Prometheus titan in the dark gave me chills a quality video
Just AMAZING, I can’t imagine all of the work it took … just wow 👏🏾
I love your animations, please do create more because they are really satisfying to watch
Thanks for checking out the video. I'm working on an Egyptian cinematic :)
Simply amazing. Speechless.
Thank you for watching :)
Unbelievable!You are awesome!
Thanks for watching the cinematic :)
2:13 the most epic scene of AoM I've ever seen. And I've played countless scenarios watched many many of these back in the days but the ones you make are by far the most beautiful I've seen.
One of the most beautiful things i ever seen Heres a sub to one of the greatest chanells
Thanks. I'll try to get going on another one, so I can publish often.
It's amazing, you made your own mods? Congratulations, amazing work
No, I did not use any mods, only the models from the original games. What appears to be "mods" is just clever tricks in the editor :)
@@Anraheir well, it's an incredible jod n.n i hope to see more of that n.n
@@gabrielvlad8265 Thanks. Will do.
I swear an open world game of AoM would be so good
what a beatiful game and cinematic, is just simply beautiful, keep going with this : D
:)
I love your work, I loved this game growing up and still wished my disc worked so I could play it today.
The wise & powerfull1 you can still purchase it online, or buy the Extended Edition. Thanks for watching!
@@Anraheir Thank you for telling me.
mate I only just coming across your videos now - loving them. Well done - time well spent :) keep them up. Subscribed for sure
J'ai vraiment hâte de voir les prochaines vidéos !
Ça a dû demander un travail monstrueux, ça rend vraiment bien :)
Merci, mon ami. Je termine les scènes finales. Après cela, j'ajoute du son. La ligne d'arrivée approche.
dude the details are amazing, good job,
Serdar Joshua thanks!
nice sceneries.
and the leaves at 3:34, great.
Thanks!
Bellissimo!
Riesci a dare un'atmosfera incredibile
Grazie per aver guardato. È divertente creare queste scene.
Absolutely incredible
Why, thank you :)
This is bloody beautiful
Thanks for watching, mate!
This was really brilliant man, awesome job
It only has 4 minutes 40 seconds, and yet I enjoy it much more than majority of Marvel's depictions on Norse mythology. Well done! Also great to see Jötunheim diplayed as land of Giants, not as land of frost and darkness.
Amazing work, superb
Thank you :)
this guys is carrying his books all across the realms, determined
. an idol for my studies
Inspiration in unlikely places.
Oh my God! It's YOU! I hadn't realized it until I checked the channel, you're the guy/girl/whatever who did that AoM video with the villager that goes collect the perfect tree as an offering to the gods! It was awesome, there were scenes in Egyptian cities, Greek cities, Atlanteans cities, cameos by Horus, Gaia and Ymir, some hilarious bits of chase (even a kraken during the ship voyage that I had not prieviously noticed!)... man! That was so long ago, but it feels like yesterday!
And here you are, bringing us yet ANOTHER Age of Mythology masterpiece! And to boot, *a Norse themed one.* _(you had me sold on the idea)_
Crossing all the Nine Realms in order to reach Valhalla.
And the best part of it all? *You did the Nine Realms JUSTICE.* Hellheim isn't the "fiery inferno" that most Christian interpretations tend to envision, you made it be what it actually is, a realm of darkness and death, that's it.
And let's not talk about the amazing bridges you made interconnecting each and every realm!
Wow, thank you for your detailed and gracious comment. I very much appreciate it man. Yeah, placing a Valkyrie did cross my mind, but I wanted the journey to feel more personal for the protagonist. Also, I have to save some units for future videos. Speaking of which, I'm finalizing designs for an Egyptian cinematic - it'll be here this summer. After that, I hope to post more frequent videos; not as lengthy, but just as exciting. The game is old, but I've got plenty of cinematic ideas to implement. Take care :)
@@Anraheir Oooooh, an Egyptian cinematic! That sounds great. So many people focus so much on the Greeks and the Norse, I think it's time for the Egyptians to finally shine once again! ^_^
Oh, buddy. The game may be old... *but it has aged like fine wine.* ;)
Good luck with your new ideas! Take care and stay safe!
@@MrDibara Thanks. Likewise.
Awesome!
it was worth it the time
Thank you. I've already got plans for the next project ;)
@@Anraheir how exactly did you do the bridges ? can you do a video about that?
@@melonswag420 I'll consider uploading the .scx files to AOMHeaven in the future, so you can see for yourself. Basically, you place the camera behind a hill and shrink objects and place them on the hill surface which, against the ground ahead, gives the illusion of a bridge.
That was surprisingly emotional, well done
Man this looks much better and natural than original aom cutscenes :D so GREAT job, this kinda reminds of Lord of the Rings movie :D
Thank you for watching the cinematic; glad you enjoyed it.
huge work congratz! How many times you spend it's insane! Plz do more💪
Thanks. It was a long-term project with many hours of planning and design.
I am almost done with my next video.
Absolutely incredible effects and knowlegde of the AoM Editior. From a perspective of an editor myself im questionion how are some of the effects like walking on the bride and the floating city and the end is possible. You must spent hundreds of hours for making it. And this althought the game is from 2002/2003. I hope they remaster the game after AoE 4 and AoE 3 DE! Age of Mythology 2 or Age of Mythology with modern graphics at least would be a dream come true! Appreciate your work - fantastic!
Thank you for the compliment. The editor tricks are indeed complex, and took many hours. I rely heavily on placing cameras inside hills and placing objects on the hillside. Ice blocks also help me to render atmospheric perspective - this does not work on Definite Edition, however. It would be great to have AOM2. I think the graphics and storylines would have great potential. Perhaps it will arrive sometime in the future. In the meantime, AOMX is enough :)
Mna, this was so good, this game is literally my childhood.
