Age of Mythology ~Unused Units and Animations Part 2

Most of these are well known in the community. And here's how you can play with them: steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...
I have never seen anyone mention some of the missing circe animation and the Oracle unit, so I decided to compile some of the lesser known missing animations and such. You can find most of these units in the Workshop.

[@Rofl890]

2:08 lol that hammer death animation 10/10

[@Casketkrusher_]

Made me laugh too hard lol

[@nouvelle147]

Animal bored animations are super nice.

[@okoyedoramilaje7091]

Damn the relics are the most sexy think I've ever seen in AoM

[@JWonn]

Yeah, each relic would have it's own appearance, but I guess that because there are so many relics they decided the extra work wasn't worth it. But I think there is a mod that adds them back in.

[@michaelmccarty1327]

Ooh, an Object! I LIKE objects!

[@sakurabaLP]

@@JWonn really? What mod is this?

[@JWonn]

@@sakurabaLP It's on the steam workshop for the Extended Edition. Don't remember what it was called, it's been awhile since I've played.

[@Andreas_10]

@@JWonn Its called Uncatalogued Units and Anims

[@jozinek876]

It's honestly baffling to me how some of these things didn't make it into the final game. The unused relics look amazing and far more interesting than the ones in the final game which all look the same. The melting ice titan is adorable and hilarious, the shore fishing looks great and is perfectly reasonable, the boredom and run animations for animals would've made the game a bit more realistic and charming, the hammer haft and hammer head death animations make sense and probably could've been used for Titan difficulty in the campaign levels involving them in order to add to the challenge, the monument rings look amazing and could've been used for monuments built by Isis players, the musk ox textures look good, the tall bushes and the Atlantean plant boxes also look very appealing, the unused fertile terrain looks gorgeous, the unused roads look wonderful, also the holiday units could've been added for Christmas time.

[@canobenitez]

it is kind of cool to know what relic it is only by placing in the temple though. I hate they reused the icons though.

[@Casketkrusher_]

Actually that whole pre-alpha build looked 10 times better as the final version, much more detail.

[@arvid1190]

@@Casketkrusher_ assets for promos are usually only part of a "vertical slice" of the game. The relics is a good example of devs probably running out of time, rather than an art descision made to make everything look the same. There are 11 relics in the video, but 50 in the finished game. Most likely, the devs decided that the resources could be better allocated in other places. Same with animations that might have needed more tweaking to implement properly.

[@elchudcampeador5642]

Roads could have been used to add speed to an army that travelled on them

[@pearse9116]

I wonder if the Ice Titan was replaced by Folstag in the Ramage campaign since he can freeze enemy titans.

[@moddingaom5622]

I don't fully know how the freezing effect was going to work, so I used folstag's freezing ability. There is a small chance it had an area freeze effect similar to Skadi's frost. But I feel that this worked better to showcase his titan fighting animations as well. :)

[@Alder2248]

The egyptian statue rings actually show. The animation plays when trying to use a godpower near enemy Isis statues.

[@JWonn]

They weren't in vanilla. Must have been added back in.

[@jozinek876]

Really? I mean, I haven't played AOM in quite a while, not to mention I haven't played as Isis in ages, so I don't remember.

[@canobenitez]

sick detail

[@reptiliannoizezz.413]

Therapist: Mountain Giant Santa Claus is not real, he can't hurt you Mountain Giant Santa Claus: 3:38

[@CommanderBohn]

You better not be on his naughty list.

[@SIGNOR-G]

Santa with a club is stranely intimidating and yet fitting

[@StinCrucing]

Norse market stall looks hella cool

[@gubi7028]

This just makes me wanna play this game again

[@freakfreak786]

they should make AOM:DE and add everything back cause its awesome stuff

[@stevewashere7565]

wow i would love to see a mod in the steam workshop which lets us use some of these animations in multiplayer. the anubite run and the bored animals animations look awesome

[@GVSHvids]

that ice titan could've been awesome

[@GVSHvids]

and those relics...why cancel that

[@GVSHvids]

and basically everything else

[@caioaugusto3138]

Ice titan would be up compared with the others. So they made them all big siege

[@jckcc]

Some comedic timing at the end there

[@canobenitez]

I was thinking the same, probably a -mistake- great decision

[@kiranprakash618]

prostagma

[@dfo990]

age of empires 3 is clearly an very large mod of age of mithology lmao, even the mouse pointer often glitches back to aom pointer...

[@yeraycuesta9432]

The santa giant can spawn if you play Loki and get lucky with the spawned myth units of the heroes, that giant was the first one that i saw killing a dwarf with the special attack too (happened in the steam version)

[@XG417]

Hope some of these makes it into the (possible) Definitive Edition

[@cobanumut]

LOVE THIS CONTENT MAN KEEP IT UP!!!!!

[@GBlockbreaker]

the monument rings are still used in the game tho, if you try to cast a god power the moment an isis monument reaches 0 hp, a phantom monument will remain for the rest of the game and continue blocking spells while having those rings around it every time you try to cast one

[@Magnificens]

Анимации для животных выглядят потрясающе!!!🤩

[@zaliron]

Did the middle dwarf carrying the half get crushed in half?!

[@questionc9312]

Watching this make me feel satisfied and curious

[@nekrell5711]

Prisoners?! well that seems like a cool mechanic, but maybe a little bit OP. Sounds like free villagers.

[@bubberduck4964]

Super cool and interesting, are there any more secrets?

[@moddingaom5622]

Yep, there are even more secrets. Especially, in the textures and the anim files.

[@Aryan.N]

2:10 that hammer haft animation is great😂 poor dwarfs

[@eatberries3173]

WTF the relics were so much better!

[@michielartz8232]

Somehow these unused assets are of better quality than the fricking Chinese Expansion assets are, 10 years later. How did they stagnate lol

[@hitalooliveira9956]

I LOVE IT💞

[@bvillafuerte765]

Good video.

[@rederickfroders1978]

Almost criminal how much stuff they never used

[@WikiHL]

Yoooo, I remember the upgraded anubites as the default model for them in my vanilla AoM unofficial copy But they changed back to normal in the Titans version

[@JOHONG2024]

I miss this game

[@erenekim1501]

pretty good

[@ENDrain]

Is road a texture or a model?

[@alarmed2542]

Nice bro nice

[@petertomszabo6268]

what is that towers remaining materials/models/anim file ?? I want to add it to my Mod :) 1:13

[@beyaro1897]

How do I get the newest Age of mythology the titans version, please tell me! my aom don't cast shadows..

[@elchudcampeador5642]

Those relics look a thousand times better than the boring pyramidboxes the final game had

[@diegoveliz2967]

una pregunta', como puedo descargarlo?

[@CrazyPtheREAL]

arent most of this units/Animations, part of the cutscenes? i sure about that

[@archie2038]

0:43 I've been wondering why do dwarves get fish gather speed increased for Thor.

[@klavicus2276]

Skadi instead of Frigg for Age3 was the right choice would have missed Skadi BUT Frigg should be a 4th major god maybe (hopefully) in the new AOM retold.

[@123Pendejos1]

The isis rings are good, would it make more clear that you can't use the gods powers there

[@JaylukKhan]

Interestingly, some scholars think Freyja and Frigg were originally the same goddess so in a way, Frigg is still in the game.

[@hieratics]

The animals should have the ability to run,like in the other age games

[@alarmed2542]

Is there any way to use these in the game?

[@moddingaom5622]

I have already released some of these as a mod on Steam (Shore Fishing, and the Beta Relics) I will release all others soon. The age 2 market and the Temple were already released as a part of the Back to Beta mod on Aom heaven.

[@OzzyBandit]

pls do more content!

[@aequilibrium4028]

Nice content! Maybe give a bit more time to read and view objects, others then that: great!

[@livin_like_justin_y]

Some of them should be in-game

[@Ratciclefan]

Wow

[@Batony_Z_Lodowki]

2:22 that happend to me once when I was playing a random map and I was destroying the monuments but a ring like that appeared over the last one and it became invincible. Does anyone know why?

[@Th3Nigma]

You pissed off Isis.

[@Batony_Z_Lodowki]

@@Th3Nigma what

[@pars-efe3543]

please make homes have two floors

[@ivorytorea]

Different Titan attacks/special moves would actually hughly improve the actual game imo

[@VITAS874]

I want ice titan and apep in game

[@user-pw6vr9ej4s]

Where i can play actual Age of Mythology? Only Steam?

[@dantelorenzovasquez5468]

in voobly

[@zonetropper]

Steam with the borderline dead mp base with some dedicated and to some degree friendly people or on voobly with lot of elitists but a bigger mp populace. Pick your choice.
