Is this the Thoth board or the Osiris board?
METEORMETEORMETEOR
>>736217180But it's just a single shot and then it's gone.What if you miss?
>>736218528someone should remake or copy this game already, the old controls and general jankyness are killing me
>>736218610>remakeRemakeslop, look at how AoM got mangled.>copyThe sad reality is that this subgenre of RTS games don't sell. The last one was what, Brutal Legend?You'd need good devs to do the game justice but in turn making the game would likely sink the studio. And as much as I like Sacrifice, it is not worth sacrificing some actually good studio (of which there aren't many) for.
>>736218735>look at how AoM got mangled.how?
>>736216908Were the races in this balanced? I feel like they weren't. I liked the jumping jackal dudes but i don't think they were very good
>>736216908Imagine not picking meteor, what are you gay or something?
>>736216908For me it's Osiris (I played the game like 15 years ago and all I remember is that he was a super powerful unit)
>>736218959>Were the races in this balanced? Are there any dedicated servers at all for playing AoM so I can check this?
>>736219047In AoM, god abilities doesn't have cooldown. They can only be used once. And that really makes you think.
>i share a board with shitters who will drool and clap at the shiny light-show that is Meteor that doesn't hit anything except on the first hit>over the very skill-based, potentially game-long power of Son of Osiris, as well as having THREE pharaohsG R I MRIM
>>736216908Isn't Thoth supposed to be a Monkey or did SMT just poison my mind?
>>736218802All god powers were heavily nerfed, Meteor included.You can now build Town Centers everywhere.Favor is a normal resource that stacks infinitely.God portraits became Marvel slop with Netflix lighting (Khronos became your typical purple-pink villain color monster, Gaia became femGroot).Old god portraits got fed into an AI and thrown out as a paid DLC.They removed variance from starting positions so you can now mindlessly play a single build order like in AoE2 (and unlike OG AoM), ofc even against fucking AI.Et cetera.It is not quite as big of a shit fountain as most remakes but it's definitely not of the same quality as the OG game.
>>736216908HORUSLove spamming me waves of axes and spears. Also Retold buffed all his techs because using Egypt infantry in Mythic Age was always meme tier.
>>736220178Looking it up, its both. So even the egyptians couldn't get it right. How did they even know what a baboon was.
>>736216908Hathor board.
>>736220239>All god powers were heavily nerfed, Meteor included.Because now you can cast them more than once.>You can now build Town Centers everywhere.Because having your economy boom fucked up by a bad settlement is an instant game loss.>Favor is a normal resource that stacks infinitely.who the fuck thinks this is a bad thing? are you a zeus main?>God portraits became Marvel slop with Netflix lighting (Khronos became your typical purple-pink villain color monster, Gaia became femGroot).>Old god portraits got fed into an AI and thrown out as a paid DLC.i don't care about portraits, they contribute zero to the gameplay>They removed variance from starting positions so you can now mindlessly play a single build order like in AoE2 (and unlike OG AoM), ofc even against fucking AI.wtf are you talking about? even in the OG game you always started next to a gold mine, a bunch of chickens and a line of trees. AoM always had less variance than even AoE2 back in the day>Et cetera.also known as "i ran out of things to list"
>>736220239wow that's depressing. I hadn't followed the Remake but I assumed they would give it the same love that AoE2:DE got.
>>736218959>I liked the jumping jackal dudes but i don't think they were very goodThat's because myth units were scaled to the age they were available in. Anubites are strong in Classical but get outclassed in later ages. Very few myth units (outside of support and siege types) were worth using beyond their age.Retold gives every myth unit +20% HP and damage every age after they're unlocked so now they can better keep up instead of falling off hard.
>>736220493and anubites are still shit because their gimmick relies on them jumping walls (and then promptly get annihilated by the hero units behind it)
>>736220239>All god powers were heavily nerfed, Meteor included.other anon wrote why and I can understand it, it was kinda ass to use one and it either FUCKS or falls flat>You can now build Town Centers everywhere.not too familiar with AoE balance and game flow design but sounds like a fair change>Favor is a normal resource that stacks infinitely.how is that a problem>God portraits became Marvel slop with Netflix lighting (Khronos became your typical purple-pink villain color monster, Gaia became femGroot).>Old god portraits got fed into an AI and thrown out as a paid DLC.heard and saw that, maybe sounds were fucked too? bad, but luckily you see them for like 5 seconds each during a match>They removed variance from starting positions so you can now mindlessly play a single build order like in AoE2 (and unlike OG AoM), ofc even against fucking AI.I don't like AoE2, but I know it's pretty successful gameplay/design wise so I assume it makes sense. Doesn't sound like a big problem...So portraits and blood/corpses, plus a mix up on balance changes.All in all wouldn't call it "mangled". I was expecting something worse, as remasters tend to be
>>736220493>Retold gives every myth unit +20% HP and damage every age after they're unlocked so now they can better keep up instead of falling off hard.unfortunately heroes also scale, and they shred anubites at every age
>>736216908Wepwawet.
>>736220750>their gimmick relies on them jumping wallswhy would you do that? just use it like a charge attack.The only reason to jump over walls is to skip that 1 mission with Amanra. Wonder if you can still do that.
>>736218959They were fairly balanced at the high level. I think Egyptians had a slight advantage in the meta if you got a back gold mine, but there was some rng to that. Here's what the high level game looked like before the remake came out.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u48YIbFugA>>736219529Voobly used to be the place to be, not sure if it's still around. If you want to play the new game, it's decently active on steam.
>>736220964you can, and it's easier than ever since you can manually trigger and target unit skills in retold
>>736216908U A E EH
>people actually siding with MeteorWHEN PLAYING THE EGYPTIANS THERE ARE THREE THINGS TO REMEMBERMETEOR IS NOT ONE OF THEM

>>736216908The only version of aom I played was a version a friend modded that massively decreased build times, multiplied the resources in any given source, and made the unit cap 1000.We'd play it on LAN and every game would be a competition with myself to see how many chariots I could send to their doom. Fun times. I'd have like 5 buildings just infinitely spitting them out.
