Check out Age of Mythology: Retold here ➤ store.steampowered.com/app/1934680/Age_of_Mythology_Retold/

Thank God they kept the original voice overs. I wouldn't be able to play AoM without PROSTAGMA

I miss the thunder sound when choosing your main god

Best rts campaign I’ve played. (Based on my kid memory lol)

LETS GOOOOO, I’ve played age of mythology as a kid back when it came out. I’m so excited to play it again!!!

A note on the discount: you only get 15% off the premium edition if you alread own Age of Mythology Extended Edition on Steam.

Honestly all these automations and QoL changes are good imo. I am a semi casual player of RTS games and having these will be good for me and it *WILL* bring more people to the genre. God knows RTS games need more new players.

I get the competitive argument against the villager assist settings but it feels like whenever devs try to cater to a competitive type of player, the fanbase dwindles and dies because it is no longer made for the player its made for the winner.

Been an Age player since '97, enjoying each title from their release. AOM will always be the most underrated MVP, as well as AOE III. Love the OG AOE and remember hyping hard for the Age of Kings but AOM is pure memories

Age of Mythology combined with the Percy Jackson books have given me a lifelong interest in Mythology and Religions in general. Ever since I was five years old, I haven’t went a year without diving deep into a new Mythology.

Very cool 😎 I played so much of this game through my early teens, became obsessed with mythology and pantheons. A reboot of this is incredible

Heracles is a classical age hero now? Damn that is a massive change tbh to the Greek gameplay.

May not be a popular opinion but I'd like to see a, probably reworked, China put back in the game. UPDATE: Apparently, that's the first planned expansion!

this is amazing, the game looks so well polished! I'm beyond happy.

I’ve actually never heard of this game until the recent trailer but loved Warcraft 3, age of empires 2, starcraft, tiberian sun, and C&C generals so I’m excited to get into another RTS. The genre of my childhood

Aoe1 & AoM atmosphere + AoM game design+ + Ao4 tech+....I need to play it.

re-usable god powers is the best change.

The villager priority is what is going to make me buy the game. I dont have enough time to be a sweat on this like before. But I love to tactically play without having a phd in resource management, just give me an army and an enemy to defeat, W for the devs and dads haha. A toggle feature would be nice for ranked competitive though

I loved this game when I was a kid (still come back to it now and then to play campaign). I'm so pumped for this remake. PROSTAGMA!

Is it me or was the original Artwork for gods much better bros?

This will be the best Remake Ever. I played Age of Mythology alot when I was Kid and experienced the Atlantis Expansion and now I can't wait to play it this year.

Auto train villagers should be in AOE4 too

Presets for casual is the most cleaver thing that this kind of a game could have!!

Haven't heard those sounds in a long time! lol

So stoked for this! But i do hope they polish the UI a lil more. But still beyond hyped for this! Played the first one like 1000 hours

All of these new QoL features are genuinely incredible.

The villager assist needs some work. It has a terrible habit of putting all my vils on wood, or no vils on wood. It also enjoys taking Norse dwarfs off gold to put them on other resources. Other than that, this is a really good remake and I love it.

The favorite Game of my childhood get's a 2nd chance leeeeeets goooo

Did I just read "Controller" ????? Does that mean....we get CONTROLLER SUPPORT on PC ????? Does that mean we can play from the COUCH? On a STEAM DECK ?????? PRE-PURCHASED, Mic drop.

Drongo, did they keep the best part of the original? Giving the Myth Units Taxonomy? Scientific names? If yes, this will be a no brainer buy for me. Grew up on AoM and the Titans.

Watching you explain your build order really got that Drongo FFA itch going

This game was my childhood.

Ah, I didn't even know there was a closed beta available for purchase. I have it preordered but I'm going to wait until September. It looks great and will definitely be nostalgic of my childhood.

Ah yes! AOM 2 looks simply amazing! This retold version of AOM feels different enough to me. Just would have loved a day/night cycle. I know not everyone’s fav thing but I’d love it. The custom eco thing I don’t think is a bad thing but I also think once you get so fine tune to build orders you won’t really use that feature at all. Also testing out villager centers is quite fun. You can really boom your eco or treat them like manors for Atlantis just without pop increase but damage instead. Better way to safely be bold and boom at the same time. Tho I think it will take some getting use to.

Oh the scratchy “no resources” sound. Darn I miss this game!! Can’t wait for this to drop!! PROSTAGMA

arkantos and his son kastor's AoM campaign stories are legendary and unforgettable in my childhood... i hope the AoM Retold Dev will even expand to more campaign scenarios and new characters with unique gameplay design per missions because imo its the best part of AoM (I'm not a competitive player, would rather just play with skirmish AI if I'm playing some random match)

Was obsessed with aom IN 4th to 6th grade. Im 30 now and cant wait to dive back in haha

so its a real HD update now? i thought it was going to be reworked as something new

3:41 WOW! Horus is looking good!

Still have my box copy of Age of Mythology and the expansion, definitely was one of my absolutely favorite childhood games.

God portraits got nerfed 😭

the ground... it's so cool... the small details on the animals and soldiers...Really cool it flows cool like the fps the move ...I don't know how it gonna be in the end but now it is looking really beautiful and the color of the civ(green) is soooo beautiful they glow really cool lol

That “closed beater” caught me so off guard 😂

The nostalgia i'm feeling is absolutely crushing. Cannot wait for some Zelda and Sims

The auto allocate vills setting is good for kids getting into an RTS and its only available in custom game so imo its a great option to have for those who would want something like that.

Let's go mate. 6am Sat morning & was not expecting AoM. YES MAATE!

Brings me back, looks beautiful. I've had AoM on steam for YEARSSSSS time to get this.

Not gonna lie I'm surprised they actually got Heracles name correctly.

Automatic villager production feel reasonable to me, because it reduces apm/multi-tasking but not decision making. The resource balancing, however, takes away from you deciding what locations on the map your villagers work at, which I don't care for as much.

Some of those new features are brilliant though ngl. I wouldn't even be opposed to autobuild in ranked

A little zoom would be appreciated next time :)

Are there options for Blood and Skeletons After Death?

I like the idea of the villiger auto assign but you'll need a 4th segment for faith production for the greeks

I played hundreds if not maybe thousands of hours of the original AoM. This is such a fucking fever dream

As an owner of a colony of honeypot ants, the tooltips aren't completely wasted...

I played this game when I was five. 😅 I am pumped to play this game again!

RTS lost a lot of popularity because of the skill gap and APM requirements. The best way to bring people to the genre is to make it widely accessible. The answer to the more automated gameplay is to remove it from ranked entirely, or have 2 separate ranked modes. A no automation mode, and vise versa.

The amount of nostalgia it bring back to see this game again The automation is good, don’t like it though But the fact we can use it or not is good

I think the quality of life improvements will do a lot to improve player retention. Pro's will also take advantage of it, and to a higher degree, so I don't think its an issue.

I think you might also need auto build house feature!

the only thing that irks me is that dead units sink in the ground...feels meh, other than this the remake is awesome

The new gods look Ai esque , not like old paintings of the ancient civilizations

Is this aoe3 engine?

Graphically it hasn’t really left the 2000s has it

Fighting noises seems weird to me at 14:14 until 14:24. Original Version sounds better there.

Just because some people are hesitant to accept the automation system(s) doesn't mean they're against change in general.

AOM is for Casual's anyway sure there might be some hardcores. But realistically it's just a super fun AOE game

jeeze im excited for this !!

Age Of Empires 4 Player here. i have hopes of this game!

me and my brother grew up as kids playing this. Cant wait for some late night 1v1s

Drongo, all the priority features and auto train villagers are standard on AoE IV for every xbox player

somehow i never played this even tho im big into RTS lol glad they made a new version of it, i cant get the old one to start somehow, it just wont work so im happy to try it out

I love the autoqueue and the presets.

6:04 I see they still don't have a cooldown for the voiceover of the units when you tell them to do something ahah

looks amazing, i love this game, such nostalgia

Im glad you could access i can't, and many people can't , even though they bought the edition that has everything.

I played the original a couple months ago and I loved it.

Im loving all of the QOL changes. Game looks great!.

Here's hoping for more retold content from you!

Age of Mythology was my first rts lets goooo!

where is the soundtrack?

HELL YEAH Age of Mythology HYPE

I love to see a proper casual multiplayer interface

I am all in favor of auto-queue, even in ranked. Back in AoE 1, there was not even queue system. The player can only produce a single unit or tech and wait to produce again. It makes the game harder and less fun. In my opinion the focus should be microing the battles and planning the macro with your strategy/gameplan, instead of focusing on recurring actions per minute just to maintain your eco/production. Now let's talk about the viewership, what we want? Great battles. So auto-queue is aligned for the players focusing more on the battle. Also, the auto-produce (even auto-eco) will NOT handle raids. So the player has to do the actions to defend from raids and adjust the eco accordingly

It's wild that people think simplifying the game makes it better because they're to slow to multi-task. This is why we got this instead of AOM 2. Cannot innovate when everyone would rather go backwards and dumb stuff down.

I'd love to try this with AoE3's herding mechanic. Fingers crossed that'll be possible with mods

So it's the same game with upgraded graphics? Not complaining, just that would be awesome!

I'm confident I can run this game smoothly in my Samsumg galaxy S9

Wonderful video, thank you for the showcase. But what about da BIG (Drongo) text flying about???

I hope they fix so you can choose the old original music, it's so nostalgic for me. I don't want the newer versions on it🙃

"Prostagma" is intact, LETS GOOOOO

Finally a Mythology video!

It looks jist exaclty how i remembered it 20 years ago... Wich for me is just fine. But younger people? I dunno if they want this. Hope so!

How can I close the narration in beta😭 it is too noisy

I like the graphical upgrade, but I hate how they changed the art of the gods. The egyptian animal gods look like AI parodies. The original design of Kronos looked so much more imposing than the new one.

Why there is a text floating throught the entire video

I still play the og aom i can't eait for this and eventually aom2 if all goes well 🙏

Does it have the ingame information glossaries, and will it release with a map editor? If not, I will be severely disappointed.

Why are so many people complaining about the "auto" mechanics that are in the game currently? Y'all are genuinely already bitching about competitive play when the game isn't even done lmfao -- it's not even close to balanced in its current state either, yet nobody is complaining about that. Things will change over time and things will get fixed over time. The "auto play" mechanics should, ideally, be disabled for competitive/ranked play but kept enabled or toggleable for casual or vs AI gameplay. It makes RTS games more digestible and easier for new players to play.. thus increasing the population and popularity of rts games. It's like you guys WANT to gate-keep and keep RTS games on a dying trend.

why are the menu buttons not aligned to the left😭
