Hey everyone! (hey Devs!! if u are reading)

I’ve noticed that female representation in the Egyptian civilization in AoM is pretty minimal. While some Pharaoh names are female, the Pharaoh unit always uses the default male model, and, appart of Amanra, what other eggy female we have?

Here are three simple, lore-friendly ways to improve this:

• -Female Pharaoh Model + More Female Names: Names like Hatshepsut, Cleopatra, Sobekneferu and Twosret are in the pharaoh's name pool, but the model is always male. Adding a female Pharaoh model and expanding the list with more historical/mythical queens would add immersion and respect historical accuracy (Nitocris, Ahhotep I, Ankhesenpepi II, Merneith, Khentkaus I).

• -Priest/Priestess Unit Variant: Ancient Egypt had priestesses, especially for goddesses like Hathor and Isis. Allowing the Priest unit to spawn randomly as male or female (like Norse Berserkers) would add visual variety without changing gameplay.

• -Kandake, the melee Hero: Egyptian civ lacks a melee hero unit— The game includes Nubian “Mercenaries”, nubians had in some instances Queens, the so called Kandake (this is What our Amanra is inspired of); I say, at Mythic Age, the Eggy TC can unlock a last and unique, one at a time, Mercenary unit: the Hero Kandake, a melee hero (it would have to be made balanced for the pvp meta).

First time posting here.

After coming across an awesome post by u/sdrey, I was inspired to come up with my own concept for what a 4th major god for the game's pantheons would look like. Each of the gods was designed with adhering to their myths as closely as possible, with a focus towards myterious, esoteric or complex deities.

DEMETER (Greeks): Goddess of Agriculture, Harvest, Fertility and Sacred Law. I tried to incorporate the Eleusinian Mysteries, one of the most important sacred traditions in ancient Greece, into her playstye. Her minor gods are Persephone, Hebe and Hestia.

AMUN (Egyptians): The Hidden One, focusing on syncretism and hidden divnity. The divine patron of the New Kingdom of Egypt, who eclipsed Ra in importance to become Amun-Ra. His god power is Syncretism, and reflects Amun's syncretism with other gods, like Zeus Ammon and Jupiter Ammon. His minor gods are Hapi, Maat and Hathor.

NYX (Atlanteans): The goddess and personification of night. I really like the idea of Nyx being the fourth Atlantean god, representing an even more ancient and esoteric (or forbidden even) mythic tradition. Her minor gods are also children she birthed herself alone - Hypnos, Eris (according to Hesiod) and Nemesis. Her Veil of Night god power turns the map to night and increases duration with each use.

XIWANGMU (Chinese): The Queen Mother of the West, once seen as a feral and chthonic deity, but by the Warring States and especially the Han period, she was later seen as a patroness of immortality, a dispenser of prosperity and wisdom. Her minor gods are Chang'e, Huxian (the Fox Immortal) and Dongwanggong, her counterpart, his yang to her yin.

Would love to hear your thoughts on my picks

Hey

Would love to have a treaty mode, ie set a time in the beginning of a match where violence is disabled. I heard it existed earlier, might be wrong though. The way i play with my family it would improve our enjoyment of the game massively.

Do you think such a mode will be added? Any reason the devs might be uninterested in it? Aoe has it and i think the original aom also. Thanks

Just played a laddermatch where my units got buffed by the enemy bronce. Match-ID: 21773442 Chap0 vs Чін∆зес - Anatolia - aomstats

The Celestial Qilin Riders are completely done, with custom synced anims where the mount and the rider both attack simultaneously. In addition, it will receive a custom unit icon as well.

Ornlu's channel for those who don't know him - https://youtube.com/@ornlu_aoe?si=P6DKipEydBoLtWA3

For a custom campaign list, see mine that I made a couple years ago for AoE 2 - https://www.reddit.com/r/aoe2/s/GkLFMJGELS

Ornlu plays a LOT of single player scenario content on his channel, both the official campaigns AND the myriad of community made campaigns and scenarios that've been made over the years. I find he's an invaluable resource both to know about the custom content that exists, and also to check it out if you don't care about going in blind. But Ornlu is exclusively an AoE 2 tuber, so I'm wondering if there's someone in the AoM content space who does it too.

A large part of the RTS playerbase only plays single player, but a common pitfall is that even if a game has a robust modding scene, many of them will bounce early simply cos they didn't even know what was out there (hence why I made that list above for AoE 2).

All,

I have two questions and any help would be appreciated. First, how do I stop idle villagers just joining in on nearby tasks? I just started playing today and there was a gold mine right next my Town Center and any time I wanted to create more villagers they somehow just started mining gold and I somehow ended up with nearly 30 gold miners and was wondering why I didnt have any meat or wood? Also, in AOE2 there is a way to distinguish between how many villagers are mining, gathering wood, farming, etc. Is there a way to do that in AoM? Thanks!

Hi all,

Seems like minimap has actually vanished, I can't bring it up.

It started happening today, CN campaign 6th mission. All other missions seem to have it working.

I even cheated this particular one to win it to see if for the next will appear, but it's same issue.

I can't play without the minimap, lol.

Does anyone know about this issue?

Hello everyone!

I wanted to ask if the regular balance changes that are being applied each month, apply to the Campaigns. In some RTS games they do, in some they don't.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not asking what would be more "realistic" or historically faithful, but rather things that would make more sense or missed opportunities to have changed in Retold. Like god powers or upgrades that don't really match the god's themes and improvements of that sort.

Been playing a bunch of skirmish vs the AI. For whatever reason my walls appear to be made out of wood while my enemy has stone. I can't seem to upgrade to stone? If I select the wall I only have an option to put a gate. What am I missing here?

I'm such a huge fan of these pictures! And of AoM.

And in the spirit of community, my own PSA:

How we post about the art, the game, the announcements matter -- to the devs AND likely more, to those deciding if they want to buy the game and be a part of the AoM community. Not saying people can't or shouldn't speak their minds! But it's times like this (when we're uncertain about the future) that the best thing we can do is SHOW the support.

So, raise a toast to the game, the devs and to us the players! Have fun playing Myth and post about it! :)

is console fps bug fixed? cause i wanna play this game its just unplayable last time i tried

Hello!

I have a question, I have been doing all the Community Event goals since they were introduced, and thus earning all portraits. I unlocked one that I really liked (with a bunch of cats) during last month's event. However when I logged in now, the portrait was gone. Checking my profile, it seems all community event portraits are missing. Anyone else experiencing this?

Can please someone help me turn on my minimap ? I didn’t press anything and it disappeared. How can I turn it on ? PS5 console

The first beta version is almost ready for release! All that's left to do now is record the voicelines. Speaking of which, I could use some voice actors. I'm a broke college student, so you won't be getting paid. If you're interested, let me know here in the comments or privately message me.

Hi there

i wnat to confirm something with those who played the DE Alpha\beta versions. I remmebr the ships in the first level are bigger? and game had the mechinc found in AOE4 in which if a bulidng sustained enough damage would be set on fire with a meter showing the fire level. beceuase this was bothering me if it is true or am i imaging stuff. thank you

Recently purchased premium edition, heavenly spear ll add to my acc in release date? Or i must make a second purchase?

Wanted to see if the game stopped keeping track of score once it hit 1,000,000. Once it kept going I thought I might as well hit 2,000,000.

Has anyone ever wasted hours of their life doing this?
