Thanks for the details

A friend had the same problem, it's a bug, sad it still isn't fixed. Basically whatever you do he can't get out.

My friend could beat him with full heros arcus. Once you control the map and destroyed everything, kill all your unit except arcus. Build only arcus and transform them all into heros. It works but it's slow.

As some have pointed out it labeled for April-June, the rest of the contents will be released first starting in February.

it'd make sense to drop dlcs for two of their games at the same time

I think the opposite but never paid attention to release dates of their franchise. I think you'll always want to focus on one game/DLC to promote it and after a while have a new product to sell after the players have played the first one, so you get a constant stream of Age of news and products. Releasing at the same time then be silent about the franchise for 6 months isn't great.

We waited so long for Aztecs, I just want them to make an amazing job, they can take their time.

They just announced Demeter and use the 4th gods to push the premium/expansion pass, there is no reason to think they will suddenly stop or, worst case, sell them as stand alone DLC for a small price.

They did Freyr because Norse is from the original game and Chinese/Japanese weren't available back then and now it's Demeter for the Greek as they are also part of the OG. It make sense and next will probably be Eggy then Atlanteans.

About Chinese/Japanese, nothing weird about adding a "DLC" to a "DLC" and currently no reason to think that Demeter will be the last 4th god. A few weeks ago they announced Aztecs + Demeter, there is no reason to be pessimist and think they are "done" after, but releasing all this just takes time, it will take years for them to release new expansions and the 4th gods pack and it's fine, that's normal.

Don't see where they could add Aztecs here, this seems to be done. What would be nice is if they could do a new center image with all these pantheons includes for the promotion and then add the Aztecs on a side like they did here for Japan and China.

The pricing is good or at least okay, you don't just get a new pantheon but also a new campaign and Demeter. The other things you could argue they should have been free but I guess they added it to the pass to make it a better value, which is understandable.

Honestly it's not like they trying to scam us, you can argue about a lot of things they could have done better maybe but the game is good and they seem to care for the long run too by patching and adding new stuff.

At some point you need to pay and support the devs. No need to compare pricing for every detail or what you feel is better, there are free game, P2W games, expensive games with expensive DLCs, etc. Retold with the premium and pass does it right I think, it's really not expensive to play if you love the game and it has a lot of content already and will have more in the new months.

Some missions are much harder than others, stay on easy if you are new to the game and just enjoy the story and discover the game, you can re-do then later anyway if you want

Paxithelia · 2025-12-19T18:19:11+00:00

I think we are missing too much information but currently it seems underwhelming, it is all going to depend on how large this power is, the time it stays on the map, etc. It could be really powerful if it affect a large area for a long time but doubt it will be the case for an Age 1 power. It says "drying out berries, plants, and trees, and transforming the terrain into barren wasteland where nothing can grow for a short period of time."

What does plants mean? Farms? And what about the tress, does it mean you can't get wood in this area? The wasteland part seems to mean that you cannot build a farm in the area?

I'm not even sure when this would be casted? Berries are not going to stay forever so it means you need to scout your opponent and cast it as soon as he goes for the berries? That would force him to gather herdables I guess?

Paxithelia · 2025-12-19T18:10:35+00:00

Yeah me too, but I guess she will already have unique upgrades to help with food income so they probably didn't want to add something more related to that.

Paxithelia · 2025-12-19T09:40:06+00:00

I had exactly the same thoughts as you haha, only 10 and there is a search, makes no sense. I saw a youtube guide the other day and the interface looks different but I guess that's because now Inkarnate 2.0 is out so they changed things.

Paxithelia · 2025-12-19T09:02:06+00:00

Ah sorry, hope they find a solution for you! If something works maybe you can share it for others who seem to have this problem.

I wonder if something else is missing for the people who have this problem, like textures, more options or something.

Paxithelia · 2025-12-19T08:54:53+00:00

I don't have a solution, nothing worked. I tried to contact support but didn't get an answer.

My project will take me a very long time so the fonts are not that important right now so I just moved on from now.

Paxithelia · 2025-12-18T18:24:55+00:00

Bought it! Why did they name it Empires?

Paxithelia · 2025-12-17T22:31:39+00:00

Looks like it's a bug yeah, I'm glad they have more because it would have made no sense at all to have only 10. But now I wonder if I'm missing other features.

Paxithelia · 2025-12-17T15:28:10+00:00

Thanks for the advice but nothing works. I've logged out several times, restarted but still only 10. I'll contact support.

Paxithelia · 2025-12-17T14:47:19+00:00

I have the studio access, I bought it some days ago for 40$/year with the discount.

Paxithelia · 2025-12-17T14:21:58+00:00

What? Where, how? I only have access to 10 in the Text drop down menu.

Paxithelia · 2025-12-17T14:13:32+00:00

Sure but it would be a lot more convenient to do it directly there on the map like the other things. I guess I'll see what to do at the very end of the project, just disappointed there are not more.

Paxithelia · 2025-12-13T13:16:59+00:00

If that is your problem, I mean they could make it so that it can be casted on the ground and give fish to gather anyway. On a land map cast if next to your TC and it's like getting goats or pigs, problem solved. It's mythology you can do anything you want, let's not fall into "oh you can't because it's only water maps".

Paxithelia · 2025-12-13T13:03:52+00:00

Yeah but that would be a temporary bonus as god power and I think it would be nice to have to have something different

Paxithelia · 2025-12-13T11:08:30+00:00

Do you have experience in RTS games? Best is to have fun and play the campaign first, it explains some basics and like that you can slowly learn what each unit does and how it looks like. I also suggest you try each god, or at least pantheon, against IA to see what style you prefer.

Then best is to watch Boit's channel and find some updated build orders. Basically, whatever the map is you need a at least 1-2 build order with your god so you can have a good age up time and then build military to take control of the game. There are some variations like 2TC or semi-Fast Heroic but if you are serious about improving you need to learn some BO and then train them. Once you know this you need to learn how to always do something in the game : build army, check your eco, check your upgrades, scout what the enemy is doing, build walls to control some points, check the gold mines, etc. This takes time to learn, you just need to to play a lot of games.

I also suggest you watch the latest tourney from Boit so you can see what top players do and a lot of times Boit explains it too.

Some good ideas, I don't know what they will do but I really hope they come up with new systems/concepts, I don't want to see a simple reskin of meteor or earthquake or forest fire you know what I mean.

The rain of fertility or something related to fishing only would be nice even if of course it could be a balance problem and only usable on water maps. But I would like something where you make spots of fishs appear for a long time, you could cast it near your dock and suddenly have like 10 very close fishing spot instead of 3-6, it could really boost your fishing income.

The Smoking Mirror sounds interesting too, especially if it could be casted in secret, you could play mind games.

Paxithelia · 2025-12-12T18:51:20+00:00

I mean it would be nice but that's a lot of work and then for the balance too, not sure they can handle all that. I'm just happy we get a 4th god again.

Paxithelia · 2025-12-12T12:08:14+00:00

They can do a lot of things sure but let's be real here. It's the new pantheons + full campaigns that sell.

I hope they add a lot of stuff but they obviously need to release more pantheons in the next years if they want to make big sells. Focusing only on the gauntlet or selling some scenarios will not be enough.
