>Greek>Norse>EgyptianWhich mythology is the best?
>>728925348Setting? GreekGods themselves? EgyptianNorse are a nice middle ground because I fucking hate deserts but the greek drama is gay as fuck
I loved playing norse. Hersir rushes are dope.Greeks were gay. Total toxote death.
I like Norse. It's the most homely and relatable of the mythologies. The gods are just your buddies who you drink and feast with. They're not even immortals and they too will die in Rangraök.Basicallt all the Greek gods got a stick up their arse while the Egyptian gods are holier-than-tho.
>>728925348greek > norse > egyptian
Greek or Egyptian, which had more gay sex rites?
>>728926064Greek. Gypsies were more about the eternal incest for the purest retarded bloodlines.
>>728926165Egyptians had a lot of magical cum shenanigans though

EGYPT.The timeframe also lets you use other interesting pantheons and civilizations around them.
any ATLANTEANCHADS here?
>>728927873The Chinese DLC for Extended Edition unironically killed the game and took two years for the worst of it to be unfucked. It was so bad that the devs had to pretty much remake and redesign the civ and campaign in their entirety for Retold. Also there's now Japs and soon enough Aztecs.
>>728925348Gnostic
For me it's going on to /x/ and claiming any random TV show or film has secret hidden Gnostic themes
>>728926931>spawn Jesus as a Hero unit>mfw he lets himself get killed
>>728928030Is the chink campaign worth it? Just bought retold and while the gameplay is good the voice acting is so trash I skip all the cutscenes, even though I liked them in the original. Is there a mod to replace the voice lines with the original?
>>728926931they are just the main villain fiction with Jesus getting all the lore and spotlight and God being the true final boss
>>728928283Can't tell you about the campaign part, didn't touch it yet. Consensus is seemingly mixed, though it wasn't like The New Atlantis really came close to the original either. Heard the Japan one did better?>Is there a mod to replace the voice lines with the original?It's not unlike AoE II in that there's some mods you can download in-game, and some classic VA and portrait restoration ones were among the first made.
>>728928283Arkantos is good, since they brought back his actor.But the mod with the old voice acting is one of the first things you'll find in the mod menu.You can also turn off their cutscenes protriats in settings menu if you don't care for it.The Chinese themselves are a pretty big improvement over the garbage that was their extended version, though the campaign is still boarding on meh / alright territory. The Japanese campaign was better.
>>728928283The Chinese campaign is just okay, but it does have a pretty cool "all the other civs are here" mission later on, and it's not the final mission (though it does have that gimmick too)
>>728928206>dies>resurrects>gives the holy spirit to your units
>>728925549> They're not even immortals and they too will die in Rangraök.Technically true but the gods reincarnate. That being said, humans reincarnate as well so that’s not really a point of distinction.
>>728925348Greek > power gap > Egyptian > Norse
>>728929874greeks don't have cool guys other than zeus from dota 2

>>728925348PROSTAGMA?
>>728926625I read the epic of Gilgamesh recently and at some point, Gilgamesh kills a giant and cuts down a forest, which is a great feat. Ishtar, the slut goddess, approaches him and tells him she wants him to fuck her brains out. He tells her to fuck off and gives her such a roast that she literally goes to her back to her father crying and complaning that Gilgamesh exposed the truth to her and asks the gods to send a celestial bull to kill him.Women.
>>728926339Pangu the beloved.
so about them aztec gods
>>728932426Yeah but we could only enjoy it because the myth was filtered through the japanese.
>>728932609VOULOME
>>728932784Are any of these in Smite 2
>>728932030Very cool
>>728925348Weird thing to ask on the video game board instead of, say, literature, but for my money I like Greek myth the most out of those three.
>>728932607Isis
>>728932784For me it's Centeōtl the god of corn
>>728927949>getting to send your own titans out onto the fieldIf only you could get something as cool as the ice or tornado titans from Hercules.
I will never forgive those fucking autistic British dork cunts for having Egypt as their tism fixation and having enough of Daddy's money to fund their tism back in the day. Now we're cursed to endure such a lame mythology having way more relevance than it deserves forever.
>>728932647Mexican girls do this too. Reject her slutty advances and next thing you know you got a small army of short brown guys wanting to beat your ass because she told her fifteen brothers and their friends a heavily edited version of the story where she was chastely minding her own business when you came up and insulted her for no reason.
>>728932426Asura's Wrath only borrows bits and pieces of Hindu mythology, most of it is actually based on Japanese mythology including the main character. People just mistakenly think it's primarily based on Hinduism.
which one includes Arthurian legend because I want virgin powers?
>>728925348Which one has the most fuckable goddess? Which one is the most willing to suck mortal penis?
>>728926956>>728927330The ideas of the 4 Tezcatlipocas for each direction and each representing a major color is a misreading of the Codex Ramirez (though associations between the cardinal directions and specific colors was a real thing otherwise). If the developers are smart, then the 3 (or 4 if Demeter is any indication) major gods they get will be from the set posted in >>728926352, since Huitzilopochtli (patron deity of the Mexica of the Aztec capital and had a spot on its Great Temple), Tezcatlipoca (often described as supreme or omnipotent, widely invoked), Quetzalcoatl (perhaps the most major figure in myths alongside Tezcatlipoca, commonly depicted in art), and Tlaloc (Also on the Great Temple, has the most holidays) are by most definitions, the closest thing to the 4 most major gods the Aztec have.>>728932315As the post says, they are confirmed for the new expansion>>728932784Huitzliopotchli had solar attributes (probably) but he wasn't "the sun god", that was Tonatiuh. Tezcatlipoca was also primarily the god of fate and it's fickle nature and ability to bring change/upheaval or fortune vs misfortune. He has associations with darkness and sorcery but those are secondary.Tlazolteotl's shit eating is also metaphorical rather then literal, probably. She's a purification goddess associated with steam bathes that cleanses both physical dirt and disorder as well as sin, sexual degeneracy, etc.

>>728925348Greeks have the best stories I would say. In that their tales turn into sayings we can use in everyday life. If you say someone is like Narcissus, or a task is Herculean or Sisyphysian, people immediately understand. Those are concepts you can write entire books about.Norse clearly have the best setting. It has gods who act like relatable people for the most part, and adventurous stories that inspired Tolkien and all of fantasy writing. A cursed ring that corrupts its wearer, a wizard with a wide-brimmed hat, dragons hoarding gold, it all comes from the Norse.I don't really see the appeal of Egyptian mythology. It has the bizarre behavior that the Greeks have, but none of the iconic stories or gods. The only bit of lore I can think of that has had staying power in western society is the concept of weighing your heart against a feather.
>>728929729The idea that Norse mythology is cyclical is possibly a Christian invention to sort of frame Baldr as Jesus Christ. I don't have a problem with it, I'm not someone who thinks the mythology needs to be purged of all possible Christian influences, but it's worth knowing.
>>728940974Christianity quite literally demonized and destroyed every other major religion except judaism. It makes perfect sense to purge it's influence if you want to have a good luck at things like Norse mythology. It's only fair too.
>>728941371But what I don't like about that is you don't know for sure what is Christian and what isn't. You'd end up writing off parts of the mythology because historians are LEANING towards it being a Christian addition. If an evil character is like a snake, is it because it seems more devil-like according to Christians, or is it because it's natural for humans to think of snakes as sneaky and bad? I like to keep the possible influences in the back of my mind, but not purge them outright
>>728941790I agree that there is a lot of fucking overlap especially since christians liked to absorb and assimilate anything that was popular and compatible. You unfortunately cant find a clean cut between the two.In your example however we have stories and symbols like that of Asklipeius so snek=bad is a christian notion.
>>728942390>snek=bad is a christian notion.Snake in Old Norse is ormr or wyrm. They don't have a seperate word for snake, serpent, worm and (sea)dragon. So by the logic that bad serpents are a Christian influence, the Midgard-Serpent Jormungandr isn't Norse either.When learning about Norse mythology, or Aztec, or whatever, I don't like being told that certain things are definitely Christian, because they don't know for sure. I'll keep it in mind, but I won't take it as a fact.
>>728925348norse been ruined by viking larpers
>>728932568welcome to gnosticism, enjoy your stay
>>728940974norse mythology being cyclical is directly implicated by voluspa. Voluspa is not now nor was it ever a christian fabrication and this is evident from the mere fact that it is independently attested by several sources, without even touching on any of its thematic contents. That being said, reincarnation of the gods and of men is present in other poems. Odin dies and is reborn in the Runatal section of Havamal, and the prose ending of Helgakvitha Hundingsbana II also just directly says that germanic pagans believed in reincarnation.
>>728943189No, it's mostly been ruined by faggots like you, who buy into anti-white grifters who make shit like your picture.
>>728925489>>728925451>Greeks were gay>Loki getting railed by the horse Svaðilfari, getting mpreg and giving birth to Sleipnir is based though
>>728926761And?

Have they fixed china, and wasnt japan coming out with sexy spider ladies?
>>728940807>A cursed ring that corrupts its wearerRing of Gyges
>>728945743The cursed ring archetype comes from Andvaranaut. The fact that Tolkien has his evil ring grant invisibility only actually further proves the ring is andvaranaut because the hero from the stories that depict andvaranaut also has a cloak that turns him invisible.
>>728927948wrinkly old lady hands and feet...still wouldeven today's non
>>728946419but this ring doesnt make one invisible and the ring of gyges does, its also a device about how power corrupts

as a bean boy raises in burgerland, i want to say muh ancestors for how metal they were but i have to give it to slavs and japstheirs is just so much more esoteric and interesting
>>728946751Sigurthr/ Siegfried has an evil ring and an invisibility belt. He’s the most famous pagan Germanic hero, and his myths are attested from England to Germany to Scandinavia. And Tolkien very obviously knows the heroic poetry and prose concerning Siegfried because he also incorporates other elements of the Siegfried mythical cycle into LotR, such as having a dragon with a massive treasure trove.

>>728946982Slavic mythology was successfully destroyed and left no written record. We know very little about it and the folklore monsters are mostly late reconstructions/inventions.
>>728947483Sigurthr and Brynhildar are soulmates, even despite the amnesia potion. Guthrun is just a really unfortunate side ho. Sigurthr was tasked with attempting to woo his soulmate to get married to his brother-in-law and got carried away. It’s understandable, really.

>>728925348Such a shame we never got a new gam or an expansion with other pantheons, but knowing how people are dumb, they'd claim Slavic, Celtic or even Finnish are too close to Norse, like they could spew bullshit like Mesopotamian is too much like Egyptian. And of course, the Romans with their different interpretations (just look at Gigachad MArs compared to unga bunga dumb musclehead buttmonkey Ares) would be a no-no.
