AoM was just too much for me. I had no idea what was attacking me and how to deal with it. I was just too overwhelmed with everything that each god does so I’m gonna stick with AoE4. But maybe I’ll give it a try later but AoE4 makes more sense in my brain

The two different tigers actually don't seem to share a model. The way their move their back legs is quite different, with the winged one bending them a lot more (implying more weight), while the White Tiger is much more gracile. In fact the White Tiger overall looks thinner.

wished for japanese instead of chinese but nevermind

This makes the Classics look lamer. The Greeks are as vanilla as they get I hope they get some tweaks in the future.

I don't understand why the Boar recast is so much since you can only use it defensively. So slow it can't make it too far from your TC.

Auto queue is a problem, but probably the biggest one is villagers bejng too cheap. Retold is a bad game. How much can we strip features is basically their approach

11 good one

Will they add the Egyptian Khopesh?

AKA jacked Santa Clause 🎅

1:27 Basculegion from pokemon

I wish that they somehow made walking woods available for Gaia. Would be so fitting. 🌳🌴🌲

It's name is HO-OH, not HO-HO....

Love the Dracula reference! It was his father who was in the order of the dragon, not Vlad the Impaler though :D

Damn, the last time I played AoM was in high school. The very first iteration of AoM. Didn't really bother with the franchise after that but this caught my attention.

BING CHILING!

"You can clearly tell these have been hand drawn" "I don't know how they managed to do it in such a short amount of time" It's all AI generated, they simply used the AI better.

Is there already an approximate release date?

Towards the end I had a sudden thought. Seeing the "meteor" god power and also you mentioning Hou Yi got me thinking: what if the Chinese hero mechanic is that you get a specific named hero as part of your minor god choice and age-up? Perhaps choosing a certain minor god grants you Hou Yi as a hero as well as a god power where the 9 suns come crashing down to earth. I've been wondering this whole time what the Chinese hero mechanic would be, and this could be a cool way to do it. I'm very glad they may potentially be more like the Greeks, in the sense of having fewer named heroes rather than generic mass-produced heroes. Makes sense since China has so many named characters to draw from. Great video btw, definitely the most in-depth review I've seen. So glad you pointed out Ao Kuang's undersea palace in the first shot, as well as pointing out the Black Tortoise rather than calling them dragon turtles. Really curious what the deal is with the Chiyou bull creature, if it's a myth unit that gets bigger and stronger over time, or if it gets huge with a god power, or if its titan-sized version is campaign-specific. I can't wait to see more of the Chinese and how they play!!

Game pass, simple

The minotaur-looking mf with the four arms and all the weapons honestly reminded me of Final Fantasy V's Gilgamesh. I don't know shit about Chinese mythological stuff, so thanks for the video.

I like that the Titan is no longer some guy

maybe the armour variants of the units are the armoury upgrades

There's no way this isn't 4 major Gods territory

It would be nice if AOE4 has autoqueue like AOM I would def play more!❤

Never ever mention Relic without mentioning Dawn of War.

This DLC is game version of “Investiture of the Gods” 封神演義 The old guy riding qilin is possibly Jiang ziya 姜子牙

Was waiting for the video, i don't know anything about chinese mythology and wasn't expecting for them to release or tease the chinese so soon. Great and very deep analysis from you! Hyped.

Coming back to rewatch this after the Immortal Pillars trailer

Great analysis!

@10:13 you just mention the black tortoise, and that is it, it's a tortoise with a snake tail, so they definitely going all four.

Hoping for the jiangshi, war salamander; earth dragon, and Hundun

The winged tiger kinda looks like Qiong Qi, one of the 4 great evils along with Tao Tie, Hundun, and Tao Wu. Although if that is Qiong Qi, I find it strange that we don't see Hundun anywhere for example.

What is the animated movie you used in the video. I would definitely watch it :)

Love your deep dive. Liked and Subscribed.

I really hope for not just more civ's, but also for more campaign's in the quality of the old ones ❤

Sprucy

Why no Kung fu panda ( joking )

Ah yeah...the broken civilization

Maybe in Chinese, u can choose your dynasty and your gods, and your units and buildings become different

10:23 or just upgraded Watch Tower?

10:04 That's a amphibious Mythical unit which is one of the four popular chinese animals - the snake turtle or 'black turtle'.

9:41 Shipyard?

12:15 One thing that people noticed about this part of the teaser was... the towers in the distance on the right. Specifically, they're Mirror Towers. Which means that, unless it's a placeholder asset, we've probably got Atlanteans in the campaign as well.

dude's as excited as me when I saw my boy nezha

18:50 CRACK broken wrist lol

‏‪20:28‬‏ Is he Stronger than Ned Hawke or weaker

Eager for this expansion! It will be released in Halloween or Noel? Players with Game Pass must pay for this, or even Premium Players have to pay?

I have to say beforehand, I know NOTHING about Chinese mythology, and this hint comes from Titan Quest, where I noticed similar beast, but that "winged tiger" might as well be Qiong Qi, almost identical design was used in Eternal Embers DLC.

It's not ho-ho, it's ho-oh, I'm begging you

The hype is real
