Or how ive destroyed the ai's markets and it hasnt touched the gold mines at all, yet "somehow" keeps producing units.

My first game of my childhood, I can't wait for this game to become available in this version❤

[@scottb296]

It would be way cool if you could use the god powers as often as you like as long as you pay enough favor, plus a certain amount of time to recharge. For example, the meteor as an example, you can use it as many times as you want for like 200 Favor plus a 10 minute recharge or something to that effect. I think it could make the game more fun if those weren't restricted but if they were really high cost.

[@TheFlameSlayer]

it definantly would add more strategy and make favor just that much more useful. as long as things are balanced (like the plenty vault should be balanced so it can be destroyed if you can create more) and upgrades for other god powers later game (the lure would be useless to reuse unless it allows spawning of animals with an upgrade later) . the atlantians would also probably need a racial bonus to make lesser powers cost less as being able to use their lesser powers more was their perk . some gods would be amazing on multiplayer though like thor spawning a gold mine at a egyption allie or gaia spawning some trees or a greek using cease fire to allow them time to help in the defense of a ally.

Here’Over the years, I've been so proud of Microsoft for truly listening to us and making all these things possible. Who remembers playing *Age of Empires*, *Rise of Nations*, and *Rise of Legends* growing up? Exactly my point. I’m glad to stick with Microsoft because I genuinely love these games, and Sony hasn’t done much for longtime gamers who appreciate this kind of experience. With *Age of Mythology Retold* now part of the collection, I think a remastered version of *Rise of Legends* would be a perfect addition. Ubisoft's *Anno 1800* was also recently added, and it's another great game. Microsoft will always be my favourite. Hands down!

Well as good as it looks, I still hope for a little more than just a visual update and some additional balancing work. For example: being able to put units on walls to create additional hight advantage etc. The possibility to fight on walls would not only give the game more strategic depth (since enemies could use your own walls against you) but would also (for example) work great with the special ability of the Anubites, which could jump onto/over walls.

If anyone is curious, the Chinese will be making a return in its own Expansion, however according to an image from a discord user, there will be another expansion, either a map pack or cosmetic, its a mystery. However I personally hope for with Retold, despite the idea could screw up veterans down several pegs, rearranged minor gods because its hard to choose lightning or earthquake over plentyvult. This is in hopes the Chinese gets a rework, such as reasonable cataphracts, some myth units being less questionable like healing allies upon death. As a side note if its missed, but according to the trailer, the walking woods will be controllable. Though it be great to have other cultures like Celtics where they lack walls, armor upgrades and reasonable siege weapons however make up for it with myth units that all do moderate siege damage. Now for the idea of a "Wonder age", I will say, I am not against this as Age of empires 3 had a definitive age, where its very expensive, however held very powerful upgrades, that are also expensive.
