That's a weird way to say Loki or Ra :colbert:

Man, it seems like there could be a lot of micromanagement on the resource-gathering end. I suppose I'll have to see it in operation in actual missions to know for sure.

Its not that bad once you get out of the early ages. Though when you're first starting setting it all up can take a while.

You should just be happy that such a thing as a laser crocodile exists!

Nice job.

I never realized that Scyllas were so good. I usually take Aphrodite because I prefer economic upgrades in general, and am not a fan of water and cavalry units.

Wait, the Chinese are made up of a bunch of Persian/Byzantine units like cataphracts? That doesn't make sense, unless the campaign takes place halfway down the silk road as an expedition. Steppe cavalry is fine though.


I think going for a North African Zoarastrian style campaign would have made more sense. It's mostly extinct and rarely explored so there would be a lot to work with.

Why? Nobody but speed runners want to cheese single player games. And that population is tiny. Other bugs and balancing issues would have to take priority.

Oh, hey. An AoM update. I wonder if this mission will be 15 mins, or maybe even 10. Let's see the vide....

Oh

I have immense nostalgia for Impossible Creatures and Rise of Legends for their unique mechanics and settings even if they're a bit janky.

Both are highly enjoyable, but could be better yeah. But if you want a good game that's really janky, look no farther than Perimeter. Balls hard and weird as gently caress, but it is surprisingly deep and fun.

If its not too much then make the short video on the side, otherwise show us the more normal way.

The Norse missions are all so great. I just dislike how they put them last. The Egyptian missions are just boring compared to the Greek and Norse ones, and every time I go back to play AoM I lose interest in finishing the campaign right around the final two Egypt missions.

Always a pleasure to watch these videos. You destroyed this mission as well.

I never thought to use siege rams as tanks before, thought it makes sense. Its a couple guys carrying around a tree trunk, so it doesn't look like they should have massive piles of HP, but they do. That's a good use of them.

Thanks!

You know, I used to regard this next mission as one of my favorites but now I find I'm procrastinating it like a chore because there's really no possible way to cut the duration down.

x2 speedups plus chicken dance music often does the trick

That was a really great video. Good job. I especially loved your thinking on the myths. You are absolutely correct. The Norse have some great Gods that should have been treated way better in the stories, but the Greeks had terrible Gods that were complete dicks, but still venerated. Besides the the fact that we lack a bunch of information about the Viking deities but have a ton of Greco-Roman documents left, that might account for why the stories aren't told as much. We find stories about dicks doing rear end in a top hat things more interesting in general than good people fighting the good fight even though they are doomed to fail. It's too bad, the Norse myths have some really cool stuff.


Has anyone picked up the Neil Gaiman Norse Mythology book he came out with recently? It looks really interesting, but I'm not sure its worth the $20 or so it was on sale for when I last checked.

Eitri, when they say the only way to win the game is not to play. I don't think they meant it like this
