22 YEARS LATER... Age of Mythology Retold Greek UNITS GRAPHICS COMPARISON- AOM Retold vs Original

[@scarocci7333]

The age of mythology retold graphics are exactly what my brain remembered from the original game

[@2LoLGaming]

yeah i believe they actually did a really good job.. kinda weird to say that nowadays. even the gameplay changes are quite unique and open up a lot new strategies for example the "Wonder" reduces the cooldown and favor cost of the now reusable god powers and also gives you favor per second. THAT is overpowered.

[@wardancer400]

@@2LoLGaming nah, the retold team is the same that did all the previous visual upgrades for the age games. They didn't let down once

[@albinbouchez6861]

[@EhurtAfy]

Retold looks great, but I remember the originals looking not much better than the Polygon team from Smash Bros 64

[@DestroToCreate]

Lol same. When I looked at the comparison I thought "wait they used to look that, they Didn't always look like this?" Hahah the brain filled in the rest of the Details

0:36 the cyclops is the only creature that I honestly prefer the older version, he looks way bigger and bulkier. The newer version is the same size as the minotaur, maybe weaker, it will be weird to see him throwing the war elephant now

[@2LoLGaming]

the huge legs help him show up as a bigger unit though... in the showcase it looks weird.. but yes i would prefer it bulkier as well! he looked more like a siege unit before

[@gabrielvaleri4755]

@@2LoLGaming but compare the torsos, older cyclops was the absolute unit until Colossus pops out. They are literally giants, it's so bad to see him the same size as a bull-man. Even more when looking at Polyphemus who was at shoulder level of a Colossus

[@JustSomeDude42]

The new model reminds me of those old claymation cyclops, kinda like it in that way. But I do agree they look less like infantry killing battering rams now.

[@gabrielvaleri4755]

@@JustSomeDude42 the older version was also inspired by Sinbad Voyage, I like that look but in the movie he was gigantic, humans are close to his knees.

Catapults strangely look rather lame in comparison to their original look, along with a couple of the human soldiers. The manticore however is the sickest redesign I've ever seen. I want that thing on a shirt.

[@michaelmccarty1327]

The human soldiers have no upgrades. By researching line upgrades and armory improvements, they will get cooler uniforms, helmets, and weapons

[@2LoLGaming]

yeah sorry about that don't know how to do it in the editor.. you need to use "triggers" anyone can help me understand?

[@joeykickassery]

​@@2LoLGamingits a lot of work, 1 go to triggers, 2 Hit insert new trigger or something similar to that. 3 Give the trigger a name 4 select effect trigger, I think it was a radio button. 5 Select the trigger type, I believe you need to select Player, Civilization and age as well to filter out the triggers you need. 6 in your case you'll need a trigger to set age, required tech (learn the names of tech required for unit, keep a wiki open) 7 create duplicate triggers and just select all these triggers 8 set duration to always 9 do playtest scenario 10 all these triggers will be applied at the start

[@theswedishdude1]

to be honest some do look worse but id say 95% are improvements, i expect a cheap cashgrab but they put in some work.

[@FloosWorld_AoE]

Given the team behind Retold, it was going to be anything but a cashgrab. They already did great work on AoE 2 and 3

[@leandrogomes7738]

Honestly, it could have been 100x better. This game is not a remaster, it is a remake. Why not giving 2020ies (or maybe even 2015ies) graphics to it?

[@2LoLGaming]

hold that thought.. I am making a cinematic video for the buildings for each Pantheon (Greek, Egyptians, Norse and Atlanteans with enabled ray tracing and max graphics .. I think that will change your opinion! I will post tomorrow at some point. People reading from other comments prefer the game to be as close to the original as possible. I love the graphics. You can appreciate them more while you are into the editor and messing around... They added a lot of small details that can't be seen when you play zoomed out and the models are very small..

[@leandrogomes7738]

@@2LoLGaming Nice, I am looking forward to watching it!

[@evangelostse2477]

[@OBryanAguiar]

I love the redsigns and the new colors. Also, did they make any gameplay changes?

[@2LoLGaming]

they made a substantial amount of changes in the game, most of them are minor changes that actually change a lot in the game. I don't have plans to make a video of the changes the following days cause of these projects but to answer plainly actually yes, but you need to play a bit to start noticing that they actually impact the game a lot.

[@amoose3582]

They added a new major god, Freyr, for the norse. Comes along with three new minor gods, myth units, and powers. They're defense oriented.

[@ip5676]

They've made an absolute ton of changes. The campaigns are rebalanced, god powers and upgrades rebalanced, there's autoqueue, upgrade prequeue, more food on the maps, some unit counter changes, the atlanteans even gain favor in a different way. Probably even more.

Hi, it is actually the AOM EE what you are seeing here i just said 2002 cause the game is literally from 2002 even though EE was an "upgrade" in "graphics" I also used the AOM original logo for more nostalgia purposes.. let's be honest most people that played the original probably did not buy the EE, mentioning that will cause confusion.

Not really fan of this remaster, just think that units lost some of their original identity what made them freaky and interesting(manticore for excample). And physics could have been better. But hey some people are excited and not everyone would find appeals.

[@thiagovidal6137]

People saying the remaster is how they remember the original being? Really? I clearly remember telling myself: "Oh man.. we're not ready for real time poligonal graphics for RTS yet"... knowing damn well that pre-rendered was still the best choice for games of this type. It looked rough even back then. I played AoM immediately when the free demo dropped. I played the demo right before going to the cinema and I remember sitting during the trailers still thinking of how ugly it looked.

[@qazxswxswqaz3691]

Why the graphics is from 2010 come on guys you can do it better I love this game

[@Awesomeman1987]

Oddly enough I think most of the original water units look better!

[@2LoLGaming]

The thing with this comparison video is that I could not zoom close enough in the old game (restricted camera options vs the new game) so you cannot see the extra detail.. for example the water itself is amazing and also the textures if you zoom in are pretty high resolution for an RTS game (see the details on faces and textures) with the added extra that the game is actually optimized quite well. check my Norse video when i show the "war turtle" I think it shows the differences of the sea better there.

Old mino much better. More human-like with black skin boots slso you would expect to see much more damage with that idiotic-sized new ax

[@OBryanAguiar]

Being bad and having this fuzzy graphics, makes the old version looks realistic while the new version being more soft and cartoony. It's an interesting effect that happens inside my brain. Anyone else?
