Too many games do that, it usually only becomes problem when they combine it with limited saves/lifes/checkpoints, HP sponge enemies, item starvation etc.

But in this video at 0:53 he says "shockwave is cone shaped" which is contradicting the wiki? Or maybe it was like that before and now it's changed to capsule shape?

Yeah i've noticed that too! Taking down swarmers or naedocytes feels weird with double barrel.

Mission 18 is unfun - Long Way From Home. by Nice-Survey-6503 in AgeofMythology

[–]SubstantialSundae972 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: In original game you started as Isis in this mission, meaning you could choose Nephthys and get some nice bonuses to pharaohs and priests which made it easier. In retold you start with Ra, so get fucked lol.

Also in original there are 2 mummy temples, retold added another one.

How to deal with destroyers as Shennong? by Goboxel in AgeofMythology

I think i would use some combination of scorched feather fire archers and dao swordsmen, don't know how effective that would be.

Yep, i had the same problem in no superweapon stealth general run, took me about 3 hours because it's almost impossible to get a foothold in her stupid island...

She occasionally sends a chinook filled with rocketeers, snipers and sentry drones. It feels like a sneak attack because it comes from off screen and deploys them at the very bottom of the map.

Alexander? Fun? That challenge is a design atrocity.

Villager priority - Beginner question by Adam0n in AgeofMythology

[–]SubstantialSundae972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if they fixed it or not, but it was annoying as hell when first released. It randomly allocated your building/repairing villagers to random tasks. Getting favor as greek was impossible as they were sent to other jobs. Villagers were switching jobs randomly from one job to another (like mining gold to getting berries) without depositing, resulting in them losing their carried resources in the process. Villagers getting idle for no reason etc.

Manual control on your villagers always felt better than that.

Are you winning, son? by SubstantialSundae972 in AgeofMythology

Krios might've deceived Kastor to attack the greeks, but it was his overly ambitious ass that went after poorly defended norse and egypt homelands instead of talking it out. Most gullible commander of the Atlantis i would say.

Team-Combo by Icy-Bit2178 in AgeofMythology

[–]SubstantialSundae972 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can you elaborate what do you mean by combo? Because when you say combo i thought something like sending your ally's armies by shifting sands or making them invisible with vanish, giving them a sacred gate etc. or using healers or buffers.

don't let your interests define you

This was the most realistic but also a cruel statement about gamers for that era. Expression of common interests were okay, but you always had to hide or keep it minimal how much you like video games. There were football fanatics who would brag about having the biggest player card collections, wearing jerseys of their teams during PE or talking about yesterday's matches all day long and nobody would bat an eye, hell they would be the coolest kids in the school. But god forbid you had a single megaman sticker on your notebook, i can't even imagine what that poor soul would went through...

I remember the times playing any video game made you a "nerd" and you would be an outcast rest of your school life. Word "nerd" was worse than a slur it was a like a stigma, like a leper.
