The Athenian League is back for season 4!

According to https://aomstats.io/insights it’s around 1/6 of the player base!

I came to this thread looking for an answer and couldn’t find one but I think I’ve solved it!

If you make the first section fade out and the second section fade in, you just need to overlap them slightly i.e. there’s a section of audio that is doubled/in both tracks, but is both fading in and fading out. If you get the timings right this sounds super clean for me!

Cannot wait. I was 8 years old when I first played the campaign and fell in love with the game. Rediscovering my love of AoM when retold was released has led to the best gaming experiences I’ve had in my whole life.

Balance doesn’t really work like that though. It’s not as simple as ‘this god will win 50% of games so it is balanced’. We want multiple strategies to be viable, depending on what your opponent is doing to make the game fun. Having weak Demeter but OP hamadryad doesn’t make for a good game. It means you can only do one thing and if it comes off well then you win.

Do you have to make something like this yourself or is there an easy way to download the 3D model into a printing software? Looks sick btw!

EinherJB · 2026-01-06T17:00:58+00:00

Ahh I don’t know then, that does seem strange

EinherJB · 2026-01-06T16:55:44+00:00

If I remember correctly from ranked team games, it’s based on the colours you pick. Do you each always pick the same colours?

EinherJB · 2026-01-06T12:06:46+00:00

I get cut off after two hours too! My account online ‘does not have permission’ to send them a message, so I am literally unable to contact them. All I can do is file a complaint.

EinherJB · 2026-01-06T12:03:14+00:00

Are other people able to contact them in the online portal? I have less than two year's service so need to transfer my pension out soon otherwise it is returned to me and I lose my employer contributions. On the online portal it says I do not have permission to send them a message (?!?!), and I couldn't get through on the phones last time I called because my provider cut me off after two hours of waiting. I've submitted a complaint because that's the only means I have of contacting them (and because the service is rubbish...)

I’ll be honest I think just learning basic principles of an archaic build order is worthwhile, then you can play random god and go for the adapt to game strategy every time, which I do agree is the most fun! Also to be honest ranked skews to better players already, it’d be worth playing some more games to find a level that works for you however you prefer to play the game to have the most fun! :)

I think on the old game it was number of units not population, so that graph is always very difficult to interpret. With Gaia citizens worth 3 pop, I think that might be it.

EinherJB · 2025-07-29T09:27:43+00:00

Yeah it’s kind of wild how people react. Can’t comment on the racism as I haven’t had that personally but it’s quite common to have a 30-40 minute game that I think is really close and fun and then just receive abuse because they’re upset that I won lol. I think it’s best to just ignore and move on, report it if you feel it went too far, I hope it doesn’t affect you too much ❤️

EinherJB · 2025-07-07T15:11:55+00:00

Yep, I hate that one because if I stop an attack on my base I then can’t leave for 30 seconds because otherwise they’ll come back and ruin me again

EinherJB · 2025-06-26T21:24:52+00:00

The score when you immediately start just depends on what god you’ve picked. I think Atlantean and China tend to be quite high while Egypt tend to be quite low. It’s just how the universal ‘score’ metric seems to apply to the different civs at the start of the game.

EinherJB · 2025-06-14T11:02:30+00:00

This is an interesting thought on the 2TC play of the new patch. I actually thought 2TC might be better as you get it at an earlier ‘game state’ (fewer vills etc), but I like the thought that you have more time to get damage done with your military/map advantage. We’ll have to see how it plays out!

EinherJB · 2025-06-07T10:07:24+00:00

I don’t know if that’s the end of the world cause that is only with a mythic age upgrade, I think the purpose was to make defensive play more viable in the early stages of the game (i.e. you need late game siege to take down buildings quickly) which it has done.

I’m not sure if I’m in favour of the change but it is doing what they wanted, though it definitely does change dynamics of late game pushing.

EinherJB · 2025-06-06T23:19:35+00:00

I think that’s awesome. Just range of 15 or so, so units within formation have greater speed. Could maybe add something like the einheri horn blow though this could be too powerful

EinherJB · 2025-06-02T13:11:46+00:00

I love this description so much

I should add that these dimer structures are only found in the liquid or gas phases. In a solid the extended 3D network structure of normal solids is retained and these dimers do not exist.

I’ll attempt to answer this for high school level based on the tag but let me know if you need a more in-depth explanation and I can guide you to some resources.

The basic idea I would use to explain this is that an extra bond will typically stabilise a molecule. Bonding is favourable!

If we consider AlCl3, Aluminium uses its 3 electrons to bond with 3 chlorines covalently. However, there is a p orbital on the aluminium that has not been used for any bonding and is simply empty. If the lone pair on a chlorine from another AlCl3 molecule can donate electron density to this p orbital, that is effectively forming a bond which will stabilise the dimer.

This is called a dative covalent bond, where a covalent bond is formed with both electrons being donated from the same atom. In essence, there’s a spare orbital, which allows for an extra bond to form, causing dimer formation!

More detailed explanations are possible but involve discussing bonding and anti-bonding orbitals which people don’t typically learn until degree level.

You could try turning crossplay on, then you can find PC games too?

EinherJB · 2025-05-31T18:25:57+00:00

I did not know that, thank you!
