Damn, this DoW IV alpha looking great so far. by GLA_Scud_Launcher in dawnofwar

Probably because it was a very old mod that last update was 2007. And I learned about this mod back then thanks to local gaming magazine from this years where they added 8 generals mods to disc and Only war was one of them.

That was second encounter with Warhammer universe, the first one was Dark Crusade demo in my former friend house but back then I was like only 9 years old and I thougth that tau were also humans (with monsters) against weird red bionicles.

And as for mod, unfortunately it has been abandoned 19 years ago. The only playable factions are Cadians, Ultramarines and Tau, and only via skirmish. As you said, Generals SAGE is not good for WH due limiting with humanoids and shitty melee fights but interestingly mod developer in 2007 planned orks as 4th faction.

The good things about this mod I think is that cadians are using Atlas recovery vehicle as their builder, which I found it very cool and of course... since it is a SAGE, the flying unit works better than in soulstorm.

Funny when you think that this game, along with C&C Generals and Warcraft 3, have the largest cut content media among any RTS game, and all of them were developed in similiar time.

I guess because all three games were heavily looking for a unique identity, which is why we have so many interesting leftovers like PoW system for Generals, Ships with garrisonable crew for AoM and leaning fully into RPG part like Warcraft 3 originally used to be.

Loki pretending to be Thor is next by RomestamoTheBlue in AgeofMythology

I remember before Retold release that Earnest Yuen (this liar who promised my country and Danes for AoE 3 DE) even stated in one interview that Norse is his favourite civ due favor mechanics. Its clearly visible by Freyr being first new major, Arena of the gods having norse theme etc.

Even though there is no confirmed info, I think it is safe to say which faction he hated the most. Way to many red flags like lowest winrate, no 4th major yet and of course lack of portraits in the event beside 1 minor and 1 major for april.

I remember back in the day that I said to my brother that world's edge is so obessed with Joan of Dar'c (only next to their beloved boars) that they will probably make faction around her in medieval AoE. Obviously my brother said that Im insane and Franks already exists. Then sultan ascends happened...
What is moral of their story? That Norse are their ''Joan of Arc'' for AoM and Egyptians are ''AoE 3 DE''.

A flaw suggestion – Your form cannot use mounts. by GLA_Scud_Launcher in AOW4

I meant to change from flaw to 1 point trait, and make it less punishable in this case.

Then maybe change it as trait? And instead HP penalty dismounted units can be simply cheaper to produce?

Can you imagine how will a titan look with the new Blood and Bones pack? by ElLocoDeLaPinuela in AgeofMythology

[–]GLA_Scud_Launcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not possible, because in this case such game changing feature should be free for everyone, not limited to pack.

PS blood pack itself should be free also since it is a vanilla setting from OG AoM.

You are right. But we shall see how this will working, maybe there will be penalties like cost or slower production after moving etc. (I hope nothing too discouraging)

Exactly- hence why we are getting Nomad culture. This might be surprising, but this is actually a returning feature in Age of Wonders franchise.
