So is the remaster worth getting or is it just a lazy upscale job?

It's alright.

Age of Mythology (original, without Atlanteans) is still the best.

>>715057225
even if the atlantean civ felt mediocre, the titans themselves were a great addition. The new DLCs on the other hand added nothing new mechanics wise.

>>715056293
It's a full blown remake for starters. It keeps all the content of the original, does some QoL, and adds new content, notably the Chinese (completely different from the version in Extended Edition) and the Japanese coming soon.

you-aye-ear

>>715056293
Once the Japan expansion comes out it will have more content than the original so I'd say, yeah it;s worth it.

>>715056293
Imagine if WC3 remastered were actually good. That is AoM retold.

>>715057880
Into-you

>>715057880
IN WYJ

That looks Sumerian

>>715055481 (OP)
Why do greeks use the russian alphabet?

>>715061430
You too buddy, you too.

>>715061487
I think it's Old Persian. Sumerian had more complex characters.

>>715055481 (OP)
Always thought it was a shame that you couldn't get the shield they had during the cutscenes

>>715061547
The Russians stole it. The Greeks actually invented a completely original alphabet for the Slavs because they thought it would be purer (not used by pagans) but the Bulgarians didn't like it and just ripped off the Greek alphabet.

>>715056293
It's pretty solid and overall the game is in a good place right now

>>715061579
Guess the Elamites weren't sending their best

>>715061547
they stole from the phoenicians actually

>>715061681
From what I remember you could make them look like that if you got the iron upgrades while keeping them as heavy units instead of getting the final champion upgrade.

>>715056293
well it actually has effort now, unlike the first two tries lmao

>>715061738
The Cyrillic alphabet was the alphabet the Byzantines invented for Slavs to use you dumb cunt

>>715062556
WRONG!
Cyril and Methodius invented the Glagolitic script based on Old Slavonic, not Cyrillic, and it was based on pre-Christian Slavic inscriptions. The Cyrillic alphabet was created by Bulgarian scholars by taking the Greek alphabet and mixing in some Glagolithic letters because they were larping as Emperors at the time and Greek was prestigious.

I wish ensemble didn't die. They were so close to perfecting RTS games.

>>715056293
It changed the roll of one if my favorite units for balance sake (Poseidon fort unit) but its added some more gods I think.

>>715056293
I heard they fixed the Chinese campaign, so probably yes

>>715065084
By fix you mean completely scrapped the original and started from the ground up with competent devs? Then yes.

>>715065265
I don't like how boring the myth units for the new Chinese are.

>>715061547
Pretty much all orthodox guys have influences from the greek alphabet because of liturgical reasons.
Medieval Greeks (or Rome if you prefer it) were a large and prestigious empire and were responsible for converting lots of the slavs around them, notably the Rus. Since the orthodox used Greek texts the language and alphabets got influenced and eventually some Bulgar guy made the Cyrillic alphabet which as essentially a mix of Greek and Slav letters.
This also why you see some slav names are Greek Orthodox flavored like Dimitri, Nikola or Vasily.

I love how the meta hasn't changed much.

>>715063191
>Could never make a game better than AoE2
Yeah no. 3 and M are just not good.

They should add Macedonians to this. Imagine a cool-ass Aleksandar campaign.

are there any mods for gaia in the remaster? i hate here model.

>>715056293
I had a lot of fun with it. It looks great, plays great and will receive at least one more faction(even though it's sadly another asian pantheon).
I'm very happy with it.

>>715057880
In edgy rack.

>>715067951
Not mythology.

>>715061430
No refunds

>>715067808
>3
nah

>>715067808
Mythology is much better than AoE2

>>715073462
gameplay wise yes. I'm pretty sure people prefer AoE 2 for the aesthetics and the historical setting.

>>715056293
Be warned, Retold has been AoE2-fied. It's less of its own game now.

>>715073462
No, it's dumbed down piss with less macro and units.

>>715074910
>wood, stone, gold, food
>wood, gold, food, favor
how is the macro dumbed down?

>>715074781

In English, doc?

Always wanted to fuck titan gaia, goddam

>>715056293
It's a soulless corporate change of AoM into something else with prettier graphics.

The graphics programmers did a stellar job, bringing in as much modern eye candy as they could.
The graphics team would be divisive. Obviously can't compare early 3D models with modern shit as far as detail goes, but they changed a lot of shit in a more e-sports/marvel way.
2D art team phoned it in badly, none of these Marvel wannabes will ever become as iconic as the Odin or Zeus of the original AoM.

The gameplay was completely overhauled so the game doesn't really play like OG AoM at all. As before and always with modern AoE, to make it more AoE2-ish than the original.

They have you pay for the Chinese and Japanese factions. Both of these are running fairly generic myths, without much effort to attune them into a somewhat more unified AoM world.

It's not lazy, it's not really "AoM, but with better graphics" either. It is its own thing and depending on what you like or dislike, your mileage will vary a lot.

>>715075381
the new one looks like groot.

>>715075565
Got a picture of it?

Why isn't there an ancient Greek version of battle brothers?

>>715075532
>paying for DLC on Steam
why would I do that

What do people mean when they say Retold is "AoE2-like"

>>715075596

>>715075875
I guess they are angry about the village center being added in the game. No one uses those but still it makes some posers seethe.

ϲuϲks

>>715076035
This looks worse

>>715075159
Because lower pop limit and units cost more than 1 pop, meaning overall much less units to macro, which sucks ass.

>>715075631
Beasts suck in BB though.

>>715076279
Big booba Gaia was too attractive to let slide into a 2025 game.

>>715067951
Just add Persia and make it a Greek v Persia campaign, just with myth units and god powers for cool factor

>>715076597
Now i know to what i will fap later, thanks and screw you for posting that picture, have a nice day

>>715075671
Support the dev?

>>715076279
Because it is. Look at that fucking water.

>>715075229
It plays more like AoE2, even though AoM was explicitly designed to not be an AoE2 clone with new civs.

>>715077083
>support Microsoft
they'll be fine

>>715077959
they'll just stop making RTS games.

>>715078347
so nothing changes

>>715078468
AoE4 wasn't even that long ago.
