Why Age of Mythology Retold is so good

[@daleodorito]

You forgot how the music is stupidly fucking good, I STILL hum it randomly since I first played it years ago

[@ChillyEmpire]

Haha of course. I didn’t include it because retold doesn’t necessarily do anything new with music. But yes AOM music 10/10

[@Iam1nsane]

[@RKTGX95]

@@Iam1nsane Actually in they (the developer team) hired Tilman Sillescu to redo the soundtrack of the original for AoM retold. The new soundtrack is very similar on the surface but there are style difference, and in some tracks the composition and mixing difference actually makes them worse compared to the original ones. Other tracks are different in vibe and feel which is fine and personally a few i kinda like. but overall i think the original soundtrack can't be beat. try and listen to both versions and see for yourself the differences.

[@Nirual86]

Yeah its really subtle unless you pay close attention. It seems to be almost entirely the same soundtrack as base with added... depth. Higher quality samples, bit more echo here and there, stuff like that.

You know, that feeling when you play game in your childhood and remember, how beautiful it was. And then load this game today and it's ugly 2000's graphics that didn't age well. AOM retold looks excatly how all of us boomers remember original AOM. And this is awesome.

[@mrnygren2]

That was my memory with Doom on the Super Nintendo, I did remember a very beautiful shooter and then when booting it up on PC it looked like shit.

[@SkylarGaines96]

Age of Mythology was the game my dad and I played together. It was through the game that he taught me about different civilizations, myths, histories, and eventually sparked my own interest in how the world works. Our relationship had its ups and down when I was growing up, but every so often we’d fire up the game again and things were better. Easy. I remember making dumb insanely hard maps for him in the editor and we’d spend hours playing vs titan level opponents on Team Migration. Now we just bought Retold together. We haven’t gotten to play it together yet because lives are busy, but I know it’ll be exactly what we always needed it to be. My hope is that the love for this game brings it enough success for expansions and sequels. And hopefully I can play those games with my kid too.

[@Shadawg666]

I love that story bro, I hope you get to bond playing with your kid !

[@Christobanistan]

Love that. I was in my late 20s at the time, but this game is my second favorite RTS (first is C&C Generals + GenLauncher with the Contra or The Power of the West extensions).

[@forgemaster6120]

Wow i had a similar story of how my mom bought age of mythology when I was young when I was at Staples and they had small computer game discs for sale. The only colorful one that stood out from all the others was age of mythology with the beautiful cover art of zues, anubis, and thor. 20 years later I'm still playing it at 25 years of age. I hope the game does well and I hope many new pantheons are added after the Chinese and the expansion 2. Long live AOM.

[@d1x13deck8]

31 years old and was waiting for so long for a remake in this quality. A lot of people say that RTS are dead but this, sort of, is because they hadn't listen to community about whats good to keep. AoM retold is a great example for other franchises about if you hear the old and new players, place true effort in renew whats needed you can also introduce new mechanics and concepts

[@HawkknightXC88]

Age of Mythology Retold has been one of the most fun games I have played this year and just overall pure nostalgia back in the old days. With the New DLCS coming in with set god civilizations what the norse has I'm hoping we see more DLC God Civs for the Atlanteans, Greeks, and the Egyptians. Plus new campaigns like mythical battles as well as the chinese civilizations would keep this game going for many years down the line. Heck Celts in Age of Mythology have always been a wish list of mine for mythical ancient civilization.

[@alekzi4032]

Has a fond memory of how I discovered AoM too. At school, I snuck away to the printer-room where they had a bag of newspapers, which in boredom I flipped through and saw a article about such a cool upcoming game. I cut out and saved that page. On release I eagerly bought the game, for 499 sᴇᴋ, at Åhléns in Skövde, a city with a old name dedicated to godess Skadi btw. Very grateful and happy about Retold, it's all I could've wished for. And minor details like God-portraits are so easy to mod and replace also.

[@anilkarakaya9343]

Aside from amazing art, this game forces you expand much more than aoe4. And is overall more dynamic. The hunting, scouting, forward building are all more important and prevalent. This game also is more fun in water maps.

[@brandon8667]

AoM has the only ranked multiplayer that I play solely for fun. I don’t look up optimized build orders. I just do whatever and have fun And yes, I used to watch the original AoM intro on loop. So good.

[@thekingghidorah93]

My first Age game was AOE4. While it gives me and my friends incredible experiences, it lacked that extra “oomph” and quirkiness that some of the older RTS games I player had (Generals, SC2, WC3). This was probably why I loved AOE3:DE in particular. However, AOE3 still had that older game jank that sort of brought down the experience. When I saw the AOM:Retold trailer, I was hyped since I immediately recognized that the engine seemed to be an upgraded AOE3:DE engine. The open multiplayer beta also sold me because of how fun and unique the mythologies were. Graphics are great, and the pathfinding was smoother. Instantly bought the premium edition because of it.

[@skotoferma]

There is a lot old game junk in AoMR. It is still good remaster but this legacy stuff and pathfinding problems drive me insane especially in comparison with slick and modern AoE4

[@ArawnOfAnnwn]

@@skotoferma Every Age game has pathfinding issues. It's an old friend by this point, like death. :p

@@ArawnOfAnnwn yeaaa but i do not remember it was so prevalent in AoE4 even on release. In AoM im fight with it every game.

[@RaccoonRepublic]

The biggest turn off for me when it comes to RTS games is that the communities tend to get too competitive, to the point where experiencing the game as a journey falls by the way side in favor of min-maxing. In the case of Age of Mythology, the love of the lore and subject material takes priority over simply playing to win. So it feels more suited to casuals. Even if you just get the game for the purpose of playing the campaign, it's still worth it. I enjoy this game not because it's an RTS - but because it provides a way to bring classic mythology to life, and that is what makes it special. Auto-Queue, Auto-Scout, Auto-Village Priority are also very cool, pleasant QoL's. I'd rather play a game with people who love history and therefore enjoy a game that features said history, versus people who play the game as an E-Sport while not caring about the lore or atmosphere and debating about second-by-second build orders. To me, gaming is all about the richness of perspective, and your story about how AoM helped shape your real-life love of history really resonates. I also think that there's value in Mythology versus more realistic history, because mythology is an interpretive experience. It's a subject material which naturally segways into real history, but it also encourages the individual to think about "why" a culture feels special.

[@AHappyCub]

E-Sports is one of the worst things to ever exist honestly, ruins any sort of fun from a game

[@FloosWorld_AoE]

​@@AHappyCub Hm it depends imo. When a competitive scene grows naturally, it's an entirely different thing imo than the devs actively trying to push esports

I love to see videos like this because for a long time i had the feeling that i was alone with my love for this game and how it had a impact in my life. Like you, this game intoduced me to mythology in a way that i never thought and i really went after mythology books, movies, documentaries. Aaaand also, this game seeded my mind with the mith about Atlantis that made me kinda crazy with the possibility of a lost civilization, cut to today, and i have a book published about Atlantis (not like the game, but my take on the subject with conspiracy and fantasy etc). Retold is amazing, the campaing back in the 2000's was life changing and playing again 20 years later in 4k is a nostalgical and emotional trip.

Agreed bro, honestly I haven't played an RTS seriously since warcraft 3 and even then I'd mostly play custom maps, this really got me into trying out 1v1's so many builds, so much fun !

[@NolDragon]

My encounter with Age of Mythology was pretty much just as random. I wasn't keeping myself informed about games as a kid. Sure I used to watch the TV Channel GAME ONE, times to times. But that was about it, and KZbin didn't exist. I was with my parents on a shopping run, and as I wandered into the video game aisle, I spotted the game cover. I had played Age of Empires 2 beforehand, but didn't hear anything about this "Age of Mythology". Asked my parents to buy it, and quickly fell in love with the game. Big part of my childhood, so happy to have it back once more. This game kickstarted my love for History, real factual one AND mythological one alike. So few games have a whole encyclopedia, bestiary, compendium, whatever you call it written into them. But yeah AoM shaped a lot of the person I grew up to become. It's really one of these games that left its mark on my early life. The campaign was an amazing journey, with central main protagonists and an absolutely divine music. The gameplay was and definitely still is unique and the multiplayer is probably still to this day the only RTS multiplayer I have played a lot of. I am not a competitive player in the slightest, I am not fond of PvP and RTS games tends to have a lot of that in multiplayer mode. But Age of Mythology offered one specific gamemode that made me spend soooo many hours of my childhood into it : Scenario. With the editor, some very talented players were able to create PvE and story mission-like scenarios that were just so much fun to play ! Even some PvP ones that were mostly based on fun than pure skill. It was amazing to log on every day and see what new ideas the players cooked in editor mode.

[@MrLolguy93]

I still remember my parents buying this game as a Christmas gift and unwrapping it back in 2003. I'm so glad AoM Retold didn't end up like Warcraft 3 Remastered

[@MCSorry]

I never played the original Age of Mythology. It was only recently I started playing games like Dominions 5-6, Deity Empires, Age of Wonders, Age of Empires 2, Heroes of Might and Magic III. But I've always been super interested in stories and myths. That was the reason I started studying literature. So when Age of Mythology: Retold was announced - back when I started playing AOE2 with friends - I was elated. I'm sucker for Dominions [mixing ancient history with traditional mythology], so a RTS with the exact same concept was a dream come true. I really hope we get a Chinese Mythology DLC. I know the one from the Extended release wasn't very popular (and I watched the entirety of your video on how you would design it), but we would really benefit from straying from the pop western myths to get into more eastern mythology (India, China, Japan) or even more niche ones like the Celtic, Voodoo, etc. EDIT: AND I'm super happy AoM:R is more accessible to beginner than esports. I have no skills, ever, and cannot be trusted to become better. So making a game just casual fun is great and a treat for new players.

[@insanocrazedman2667]

Thank goodness for catering to normals and not esports. When Retold was first advertised I saw esports people saying there shouldn't be reusable god powers since it would throw off balance. Most people who buy don't play competative seriously.

This came out while I was doing my stint in the Corps. So I didn't really pick it up until after my first combat deployment where the games I snagged... After I of course asked a Best Buy employee "is this a good gaming laptop....". It wasn't. Anywho. Bloodlinrs Age of Mythology Jewel Cases of Fallout 1/2 pack (originals were back in my home state) And Disciples 1/2 I grew up watching Harryhausen. Love stop motion, Jason and the Argonauts is still one of my all time favorite movies. So grew up as a nerd of myths and legends through the 80s, 90s and such. This game quickly became one of my all tike favorites. Combined a favored genre of mine, RTS, with a favored...other...genre... Mythology. The way they handled this Retold? Amazing, and I hope it leads the way to bringing back more traditional style RTS. Even with the new additions as they seem to be more or less optional. Which is how things should be. A toggle or option. Would love to see Rise of Legends and the Dune games get a revival of sorts.

I first became aware of graphics cards as like, a thing, when I installed Age of Mythology on the *family* PC for the first time and it immediately crashed after the opening cinematic for not being DirectX whatever compatible. My dad, instead of upgrading the family pc... Bought my brother and I our first gaming PCs instead. Which could just barely handle AOM. And then I tried to play Arma 1... And it overheated during the campaign 3D cinematic scenes. Another upgrade followed... Fond memories of that era.

[@unidentifiedflavourfulobject]

Although the unit models in AoMR are a massive improvement over the old game, I can't get over how everything looks so much neater in AoE4. There's also major gameplay issues with villagers getting stuck on trees, walling, and multiplayer stability. Important balance issues in forts feeling like decorations, Norse not being able to build titan/wonder while in combat, and all units costing gold instead of food which is not farmable and can be denied easily. But I hope the devs will fix these issues like they fixed the portraits and voice acting to make AoMR a long lasting enjoyable game.

The one thing that's keeping this from immediately buying it it's the fact that they had the AUDACITY of adding a PAID DLC for having 20 year old god portraits in the game.

One more point for you to consider: I only have a Xbox to play and after trying AOE IV i just gave up trying to play with a controller (that was a nightmare). Before Retold came i was ready to put keyboard and mouse on the console, but decided to try first with the controller anyway, and BOI they made It good. It's ridiculously easy to play the game with a controller now, i even look like a pro using shortcuts to my troops. You should try It too and see for yourself.

AoM was the first game I ever played and I was obsessed with it for a long time as a kid. I couldn't be happier to see this game remastered!

So do I, I remember playing it back in 2011 and 2012 as a 10 years old, now I'm freaking 23 years old 💀😂

First time playing. It's like halo wars on PEDs. I like it.

I got blown out after I look again how much difference AoM:RT and the original AoM... I honestly didn't remember the original was that outdated in a sense of today's graphics. I hope the second DLC pantheon would be indian, with major gods are Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.

Uno de los juegos más relevantes de mi vida, de mi juventud. Que hizo nacer mi fascinación por la mitología. Jugarlo ahora de adulto y sentir esa emoción es un regalo. No puedo esperar por la expansión de los chinos. Espero que arreglen la campaña. Quisiera ver nuevos héroes y una campaña más larga. ¡Saludos!
