China expansion should have been a mythologized version of Three Kingdoms, then the AoE2 China expansion should have been a proper Sinosphere thing instead of just Three Kingdoms again.
Look me dead in the eye and tell me you don't think Lu Bu fighting minotaurs and shit would be cool as fuck.

I would love to discuss AoE2 with you fellow ledditor. How's your ranked ladder coming along and who is your favorite streamer for it?

So who would you like as the 4th egyptian major god and minors?Atum with Geb and Nut to fill out the Ennead?
Amun with his wife Mut and son Khonsu to have at least one member of the Ogdoad as well as the most important deity of the New Kingdom?
Hathor with the likes of Maat, Seshat (Thot's waifu and daughter) and Khnum to complete the zoo?
Meme picks like Medjed, Khepri, Heqet or Kek just for the fun of it?

Another set of Mystery Achievements have been added.
Probably for Demeter and Arena of the Gods, assuming that they haven't abandoned it.

New Demeter info dropped
>Demeter, the goddess of harvest and terrain mastery, as a major goddess
>Three new minor gods Pan, Hestia, and Persephone
>New fully voiced Mythical Battle titled Silent Sanctuary, starring Chiron and Orpheus
>New ways to disrupt economies, convert enemies, revive armies, and halt attacks
>New myth units Harpies, Lykaons, Hamadryads, and Sirens>Demeter gets Wither (nothing grows in an area) and Harpies (picks up units and drops them)
>Pan gets Arcadian Meadow (localised Ceasefire) and Lykaon (disguises as a villager until it attacks)
>Hestia gets Communal Hearth (defense/resource bonuses in an area, converts enemy units) and Hamadryads (disguises as a tree when idle, can steal resources?)
>Persephone gets Underworld Invasion (last 100 killed units resurrect as eidolons, destroys your TCs (Flemish Revolution meets The Sorrow)) and Sirens (lures enemies out of position)We're also getting Orpheus and Icarus (or Daedalus but he looks kinda young) as heroes, too
Pretty cool

ok guys hear me out: what about new Titans for each major god as DLC?
Norse: Odin keeps Ymir, Loki gets Fenrir, Thor gets Surtr
Atlantean: Chronos gets himself, Gaia gets herself, Ouranos keeps the og atlantean titan.
Egypt: Ra keeps himself, Isis gets Horus, Seth gets Apophis/Apep
Greek: Zeus gets Prometheus, Hades keeps his pup, Poseidon could get the statue from the campaign
Chinese: Fu Xi keeps the og titan, Nuwa gets Pangu and promote Chiyou as Shennong's titan
dunno who could be for the japanese

So in the Japanese campaign, the villain tries to trap Amaterasu to block out the sunlight, which apparently works.But what about Ra then? Or any of the gods that deal with the Sun? Why should it matter if Amaterasu is gone when Ra can also take care of it. Do different Sun gods handle different aspects of it? Does Ra make it move while Amaterasu makes it glow?What about the seas? There's like, 3 ocean gods in the game. Who actually commands the seas? Do Poseidon and Susano ever fight over this?

I wonder what the Aztec campaign be about. I hope it'll let us visit and fight/fight alongside other factions. That is something that was mostly missing from the Asian campaigns.

How hard is micromanaging workers in Age of Mythology? I always hated economy micromanagement, I much prefer the Rise of Nations system where you just assign the worker to a building so you can focus on war. But the appeal of playing a game about pagan mythology is too irresistible to me, so I feel like I must buy this game.

I've been an OG-exclusive fag for a really long time (played the original since launch pretty much and have been carrying around an .iso of Gold edition + patches on an USB stick for over a decade at this point) but I got Retold during the winter sales because I wanted to try it out even if a lot of what I've seen wasn't that appealing. I'll be listing every good or bad change I can think of.
Good:
>No titans mode
>More zoom levels
>Water myth units available for all (although it feels kind of lame and I would've just made universal water heroes instead)
>New Norse Gods and units
>Japan (don't really like Japanese aesthetics but they have neat designs, though I've heard they're OP in MP and I already assumed that while playing them in their campaign)
>New hydra design
Meh:
>Chinese (can't tell their units apart and their campaign blows)
>Random level redesigns to the original campaign
>No blonde Atlanteans
>Lighting changes (some of it looks great, some of it looks awful and I can't see shit because of it)
>Less saturated look overall with no option to change that
>Reusable God powers (maybe MP people asked for it for a long time)
Wtf:
>Heavy hoplite helmet (now it's just like the Champion but grey, lame and we don't get the iconic one anywhere else)
>Atalanta and Hyppolita swapping places (balance probably)
>Gaia redesign
>Most new God portraits (why do they all have glowing eyes and lighting coming out of their asses)
>Flanderized Ajax in Chinese campaign (he gets better in the Japanese one)
>New voice lines for existing civs kinda crap
>Those shitty VN portraits in cutscenes I disabled instantly
>The villager autoassign thing (thankfully you can just not use it)

now that the dust has settled, what's the consensus on Heavenly Spear?I really love the Japanese, they quickly became my favourites
other than the finnicky shrine building favor generation they're perfect, I love their myth units I love their human units I love their god powers and I love their aesthetic in general

For Japanese heroes they could've at least done what the Norse heroes do and give them a list of names to pull from
Though I guess you'd probably run out of Onna-musha pretty quickly

New achievement details are in
Mostly just Mythical Battle achievements, though this does give us the Hamadryad's ability name and a mechanic where you put herdables into a temple, probably similar to what we've gotten in AoE2 with Gurjaras (and every faction in Galactic Battlegrounds)

To return to the previous discussion about Rome, perhaps it could be a good idea to go with the theme of the Deification of Caesars?So you'd get Caesar Augustus or Trajan as the classic pagan Rome, with all the roman distinctives, Aurelian maybe for Late Empire mystery cults and St. Constantine for the Christians, with god choices being saints instead.

Demeter Review:Lykaon: Probably the easiest unit to use just hard to track where they are. If your opponent cannot see the tails, chances are neither can you unless you zoom inThe Trees: Could probably work even on auto. Like a lot of the time I just have units lying around so it can easily get to 10 seconds on it's own.Harpies: Sounds finnicky but with easily an asset near waterSiren: Like harpies but worse. Why?
