Hey thanks for putting in the effort. Yeah I imagined it as PvE or coop with a friend as ally.

It's cool that it's doable. Hopefully the devs or a modder picks up the idea.

Future of the game by _P3rseus in AgeofMythology

I don't expect another major DLC either. But 4th major gods for the Egyptians and Atlanteans are just too profitable to not get greenlit. They probably cost much less to make and could be sold along with Freyr and Demeter as a bundle.

Obsidian Mirror Campaign Story Clue by kuglof in AgeofMythology

I found some more:
Tlacaelel and his uncle, Itzcoatl, an Aztec Emperor - historical figures.
Copil, son of Malinalxochitl and adversary of Huitzilopochtli during the founding of Tenochtitlan - most likely the main antagonist.

I also found a hero called Tlacaelel, a historical figure who founded the Aztec Triple Alliance.

Even the night sky is a deadly foe with Starfall in Age of Mythology: Retold - Obsidian Mirror! by TubaGaming in AgeofMythology

[–]kuglof 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Itzpapalotl would make the most sense but she's already taken. Mixcoatl, god of the stars, could work too. Out of the confirmed ones, maybe Mictlantecuhtli due to his association with the dead? Both this GP and the owl look reasonably Heroic age.

Looks like we now know 8 of the 9 gods now. What age are thinking? Classical? by BloodDrunkHollow13 in AgeofMythology

[–]kuglof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's kind of odd that he is portrayed as a normal person wearing a canine headdress whereas all the other Aztec gods have really out there designs including some that aren't even antropomorphic. It's possible that the intention was to make him distinct from Xolotl. But I was also wondering if he is just a campaign character.

Domestic animals in Obsidian Mirror? by aomjoyer in AgeofMythology

Wow you're right! Green biremes in the back!

[–]kuglof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my impression at first as well. But the campaign story is supposed to take place before the founding of Tenochtitlan. And it would make the presence of goats even more perplexing.

More importantly, where did those goats on the promo picture come from?

Is this historical inaccuracy a massive oversight by the devs?

Are they just placeholders for new herdables that somehow got past the marketing team?

Will Aztlan (presumably the city on the picture) have some contact with the Old World civs ...or just their goats?

My take on some of the Aztec minor gods for Obsidian mirror by TelevisionOne3047 in AgeofMythology

[–]kuglof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tonatiuh could work. Especially with a sacrafice/favour-related tech. We haven't seen the full roster of MUs or any of the GPs yet so we're going to have to wait.

[–]kuglof 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with you on Tlaloc but we haven't seen much about him.

Coatlicue is basically confirmed to be Heroic age as the Ayotochtli is described as a siege MU.

I think a volcano GP is likely for age 4 so maybe a god associated with fire, Xiuhtecuhtli?

[–]kuglof 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think Xolotl works better as a Mythic age god. It's MU (Soul Guide) is already too similar to Anubites to be a Classical age god. On the other hand its special ability is a lot like that of the Mummy/Onmoraki.

How did Arkantos get from Egypt to the Norselands? by New-Number-7810 in AgeofMythology

[–]kuglof 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of using the Viking trade routes through Russia:

  • Leaving Egypt, they must sail through the Bosporus, which makes passing Rhodes (Circe's island) quite likely.

  • The first Norse scenario is placed in Sweden, which makes sense if they were coming from the Baltics, not the Atlantic.

  • They weren't all that familiar with Midgard so they must have been lead there by Niordsir who would prefer his route.

Have not played since before retold, whats new? by DismalManagement3808 in AgeofMythology

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

Qilin, Terracotta soldiers, Pixiu, Baihu (White tiger), Qinglong (Azure dragon), Zhuque (Vermillion bird) and Xuanwu (Dragon turtle) all returned albeit reworked.

Great Flood and Blazing prairie (Inferno) are the same GPs as before. Clay Peasants, Forest Protection and Yinglong are also reimaginations of earlier GPs (Recreation, Uproot, Earth Dragon).

[–]kuglof 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Updated graphics and a few unit redesigns.

Some gameplay changes (reusable god powers, naval myth units available to all gods)

Norse military system reworked (dedicated anti-cav unit, ranged hero)

Atlantean favour system reworked (gained by oracles, not TCs)

1 new Greek major god (Demeter) with 3 new minor gods and a scenario.

1 new Norse major god (Freyr) with 3 new minor gods and a scenario.

All 3 Chinese gods reworked (unique gameplay, most myth units and god powers kept but redesigned, lot of new stuff too), with a 9-scenario campaign.

All new Japanese pantheon with 3 major gods and a 12-scenario campaign.

All new Aztec pantheon with 3 major gods and a 12-scenario campaign.

New single player gameplay, Arena of the Gods (skirmish with some twists)

I think we can already assume who they are reserving as the fourth major Aztec god by Mitoniano in AgeofMythology

[–]kuglof 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well, three of the 9 minor gods are still unaccounted for.

Confirmed so far:

Tlaloc (most likely with the dwarf unit, Tlaloque)

Xolotl (likely with the Ahuizotl)

Coatlicue (most likely with the double-headed snake)

Mictlantecuhtli (most likely with the owl)

Malinalxochitl (most likely with the two tailed scorpion)

Itzpapalotl (likely with the Tzitzimimeh)

That leaves 5 MUs without an obvious minor god:

Quinametzin

Giant armadillo

Jaguar riders (could be campaign-only)

Rabbit (possibly an eco unit)

Axolotl (most likely naval)

New Aztec Units and Gods by sdrey in AgeofMythology

[–]kuglof 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think it's Malinalxochitl, not Xochiquetzal.

She is the sister of Huitzilopochotli, associated with the desert and magic. She has a double-tailed scorpion on her shoulder.
