Age of Mythology: Fall of the Trident - 25. Welcoming Committee

[@ryanleach8940]

A mission that REQUIRES you to kill heroes? Yeah, this one's going to be short... ;P

[@maistromann136]

thankfully no Hersir deaths to count this episode

[@SwissCheese667]

"Folstag ate my cattle and HURLED MY CABIN INTO THE RIVER !" Can't help but laugh at this line XD

[@zwiebelas]

Well, its half funny, half hint. Folstag is after all... (Spoiler alert ahead) ...the frost giant hero you use in the new atlantis campaign to freeze the norse titan, while defeating him. Ajax(or Kastor not sure) even mistakes him for a Titan in the cutscene. This old guy here is merely a trick of Loki so the heroes will lose time. So i'm sure the real Folstag can hurl any cabin in the river with ease.

[@boltonbrowne7413]

I seriously hope Biper will do the Golden Gift and New Atlantis Campaigns. There are some unforgettable scenarios in both... And so many heroes to fall! :D

[@LokChann]

Yeah i agreed

[@kingsarues1586]

New Atlantis is the best campaign and golden gift is great.

[@gugussrandom5982]

god new atlantis campaign made me rage just a little bit xD

[@markzakrocki4820]

golden gift is a shit campaign,

[@markzakrocki4820]

I back this by saying it's poorly made, cinematics half the time don't work and music to dialog sounds are unbalanced, you get earaped with music then they start whispering. The actual playing part is okay but also really bad,

[@SatyaVenugopal]

The Bipah: Gets large army, seems genuinely distressed about it

Lure 3 clans at same time. *Enjoy the total chaos.

Also, save me I see Biper senpai has graduated from killing his own heroes to killing his enemy's. He is certainly very good at it.

[@Volcano4981]

I really admire your dedication to the cause, friend, really I do. Not exact figures but I estimate the number of Hersirs downed in Dwarven Forge to be roughly 43 and Not From Around Here... well, maybe more like 26 Hersirs. Do the Clan Leaders in Welcoming Committee count? :P

[@maistromann136]

Thanks, I'll go through those episodes and confirm those numbers! (Yes they count!) Also why are there three copies of my comment? Man KZbin is really tripping out

[@UM96lol]

The dedication required to name all the Hersirs is admirable.... you do know you're counting Viper's hero deaths?

[@maistromann136]

@@UM96lol yes. As soon as he started massing Hersirs I gave up trying to name them. I just can't @Volcano I'm going with your numbers, cos I'm losing my will to live

[@skeletonking1174]

Totally thought that at the end, a massive army of giants would come down and attack and you would have to defend them off.

[@xotl2780]

7:12 so the first time you killed Erik the Red wasn't enough huh? Had to go back for seconds? Also I tried to find trivia for this mission on account of the fact that it always was anticlimactic compared to a lot of others in the campaign, particularly in the current setting. Didn't find anything official though. What I do know is that the entire campaign underwent multiple re-constructions through it's creation phase, which ultimately brought us down from 40 potential missions to 32. I think we can make a reasonable assumption that if not pure filler due to time constraints, this mission probably would have once been part of a larger scenario during which you'd hopefully see some use out of that giant army. And talking of giant armies....

[@raynightshade8317]

anything interesting missions we missed out on?

[@xotl2780]

@@raynightshade8317 It's hard to tell. Most of it would have no doubt been during the games conception phase, where ideas such as Achilles having a role in the story besides a cameo, and our protagonist Arkantos instead being a Greek named Misenus (with questionable relation to actual Greek mythological hero Misenus, a friend of Odysseus) were killed off. Perhaps a more thorough explamation could be found in the games' beta/alpha files however. I personally have no way to access the games files but I have it on good authority that a lot of cut content is still around in there, somewhere.

[@ryankasch5561]

It uses the one voice from the Eric the Red mission in aoe2

[@matthewluscher6283]

Viper, next mission you rescue your Norse wife. You need to click her portrait to learn about her.

[@luciusashan1551]

New Atlantis campain should be a lot of fun !

[@xotl2780]

It'll also be hard as fuck compared to literally any of these missions.

[@JoshSweetvale]

The robot level. Oh god the robot level.

[@gugussrandom5982]

just a little thing, that's a detail and you might forget if you read this, but around 6:34 you are sticking your towers together. that's bad because if you do that, siege weapons and myth units can damage both towers/buildings like in aoc with onagers/rams

[@GummieI]

Well I don't think siege weapons was a particular concern in this mission specifically with that kind of army he was getting...

[@FallingDownAyar]

1:47 what the--!? 15+ years playing and replaying the campaign and I never noticed that typo

[@BrianMarrino236]

I had an easier option; Use the cheat code Pandoras Box and use the One Lightning Bolt on the Leader to collect all their troops. That was how I did it so long ago

[@arthurghahramanyan3279]

I remember there were alternative ambush sites in that mission. Explore map thoroughly, Bipah :D

This may be an odd question; did you learn English at school or through gaming? Both maybe? Your English is excellent considering its not your native tongue. Nice job finding that typo at the start haha

Michael J I know I’m responding to this 2 months late but I just want to state, if I may, that I’ve always found it that Northern Europeans are exceptionally good at learning English and it’s nuances compared to most other European people.
