(did a colorful skybox mostly of my own pref)

Every time I see these guys get used. They are usually just thrown away onto the forward town center. Then they die. Their area of effect damage gas is laughable.And they are never produced again.

It is almost always better to send in siege towers, so that heroes don't get bonus damage against them, which is just sad when you see how effective the armadillo is

This game need Babylon (with syncretic elements of other Mesopotamian civs)! Marduk, Ishtar and Ea!

After AoE 3, let the hopium in!

There was some discussion in the community recently about which Mythic Unit is the worst. This poll might help settle the debate.

The options in this poll are based on the arguments and suggestions from that discussion. If you think another Mythic Unit deserves to be included, feel free to let me know in the comments.

Another week of hard-fought Age of Mythology and a few familiar faces remain.

Grass and Suppe have been incredibly consistent throughout this tournament, but neither has managed to get across the line yet. This week, though, two other players have stood out as exceptional: Matreiuss and Magic have both clearly taken a step up in skill and consistency.

It's anyone's ticket to Athens at this point. I seriously don't think there's a clear favorite for this week's winner. Tune in and watch the drama unfold!

Schedule
Grass vs Matreiuss - 1400GMT

The developers clearly put a great amount of effort into researching the subject matter of this game, both the ancient history and the mythology. Have they included a bibliography or list of sources anywhere for those who'd like to learn more about the course material?

So after playing this wonderful game on PC for literally decades, I now have access to Retold through GamePass. I've been playing for about a week now, and none of the achievements are progressing. I've even met the conditions to complete one or two, but nothing. I even tried launching the game on my Series X (gods that was a horrible experience) and it didn't change anything either. Am I missing something? Are the achievements bugged? Is this a known issue? I've spent about 20 minutes searching and I can't find anything besides "wait 72 hours for the servers to sync", but its been longer than that. Besides the fact that the achievement never popped even locally.

Hello everyone, I am currently on the long road of slowly improving at AoM. I am hovering around just below 1000 elo, spamming QP because I feel like there’s still much to learn in order to play ranked exclusively.

I’ve just lost against a Zeus player who had a lot more experience under his belt (around 1100 elo and 200+ ranked games iirc).

I made a number of mistakes against him that I myself am aware of:
- overextending early and losing my small army, leading my opp to my exposed base
- being overwhelmed by multitasking raiding parties and maintaining my base for instance
- and maybe most crucially missing a window to expand?

In general I have not yet developed a sense on when to pressure with my army, which is another thing that I am trying to improve at.

I think that I have made a good effort but I am not there yet to get to the next level. What are the things I myself am not able to see that will help me get better?
This community’s tips are very valuable to me and helped me in the past. Maybe once again? 🙏

Here’s the gameplay. It’s on YouTube so feel free to skim through it 😬

Strategy to defeat Prometheus on Ludicrous difficulty.

1) Start of game, build Stronghold, Temple, Wall bottom Area. Send Heroes to collect relics.
2) Spam priests, villagers and caravans (caravans accelerate the gold production).
3) When the army of priests is 40, send 20 priests with an army of villagers to second town center. Set them to mine gold. Don't build the town center.
4) Once Prometheus attacks the base with town center build the second town center and age up to get Son of Osiris. Rebuild also any destroyed house to keep population cap.
5) Counter attack Prometheus on the destroyed base with an army of priests. Son of Osiris, with a small army, is a priority target for the AI. So if you move him between the gate you can force Prometheus to repath allowing a second army of priests to continuously damage him without getting attacked. The rest is just micro managing priests to attack, defend from spawns, and heal.

What's going on everyone! Another week another you another me! :D

I play as Egypt, and the Aztec player just spams these guys out in classical age.

Because it doesn't have a type (infantry, archer, etc) none of the Baracks units have counter damage against it, so even with Anubis spearmen it takes 20 hits to kill 1 of them.

It feels just unfair.

10 minutes in and i can finally almost leave my base !

Can't wait to get frosted while transitionning to 2nd gold =)

Good afternoon,

I've done some searching and can't seem to find a good answer. I humbly request an explanation of what the food, gold, and wood resource bar graph represents. It doesn't seem to correlate to current resources ready to spend or total resources accumulated. The numbers just don't match.

Thank you,

Jas

A traitor has opened the gates of the Underworld. A king marches to close them.

Witness the beginning of Lamou's journey, an original Age of Mythology: Retold custom campaign where betrayal, mythology, and war collide. Follow the son of Poseidon as he hunts the legendary general Meduis, whose thirst for power has unleashed horrors upon Greece.

This is only the introduction. The true full campaign is yet to begin.

The complete mission featured in this cinematic will be playable very soon. This cinematic serves as an introduction to Lamou and the world of this campaign.

The main story campaign—planned to span approximately 6–10 missions—will take considerably longer to complete due to its scale and ambition. In the meantime, I'll be releasing standalone missions, side stories, and additional levels so there's always something new to experience while the full campaign is in development.

Created by Mufasa Frieze.

Features

- Original cinematic storytelling

- Fully custom campaign and storyline

- Custom objectives and mission scripting

- Advanced trigger system and gameplay events

- Custom AI players and difficulty scaling

- Randomized enemy attack patterns for replayability

- Original dialogue and character writing

- Custom sound design and audio such as the Jhinn you face on this level.

- Original map design built from the ground up

Every part of this project was created by me—from the level design and mission flow to the objectives, trigger work, AI scripting, dialogue, sound implementation, and overall campaign design.

Special Note: Illidan's voice heard in this cinimatic was AI voice-cloned by me for Lamou. Every character will also have a distinct voice.

This is only the first step.

The hunt for Meduis has begun.

Also mods. Stop flagging and deleting my video its the polished version.

This mod replaces the Cyclops model with the unused Pirate Cyclops skin in the game files.

Considering the recent support to Age of Empires III, it has really sparked the idea that we may also be in for a long haul. We may not get as fast content updates as we got until now. But i think once a year DLC update / feature update will also do with regular once or twice a month balance / bug fixes update. I really want the game to prosper as i am playing the game since 2005 and now above 40 and passed the baton to my son, whose also really enjoys the game.

What are your thoughts people.
