@@rg03500 I'm VERY Late to this reply, but if you change resolution to 640, and low quality, you actually get the same hoplites as the cutscenes. This is due to the fact that in low resolution units don't have a change in visuals when upgraded.
I have the happiest memories of playing this at my aunt's house. What an amazing game. Only game I ever really played on PC tbh. But my favourite game overall for sure.
Well in case that hasnt changed in last 2 years, I have to say you have missed some really great games on PC, even if many PC classics have been ported to consoles over the years too. Personally I started off as PC gamer but have moved more and more towards consoles. Nowdays there are so few games that come only (or first) to PC, especially RTS games, but those that do I ofc rather play on PC than console. That includes recent AoE rematers, AoE 4 and now the upcoming Age of Mythology: Retold, so good reason to keep PC still around :D But vast majority of my games are on consoles and Im almost done completing all my PC gaming backlog
I know it's 4 years ago, but they are there for the game to load faster (most 3d games always put assets that appear many times somewhere out of view/bounds to have that element already loaded in, so the game doesn't start to lag. Mario 64 or any mario game has a coin somwhere that the viewer can't see meaning the coin doesn't need to be loaded again. If it has to reload everytime you hit an enemy or coinblock, the game would go slower) or to have them start there at the start of a cutscene transition, which actually happens right afterwards. Like already said, this game wasn't considered for widescreen resolution and they thought they could put them there for faster loading for the second transition scene where they look at the gate. But hey, that's just a fact a game development fact, thanks for watching.
@@NostalgicGamerRickOShay Aside from command and conquer, what rts's even have veterancy? It's hardly an "Important ingredient" and this is coming from a fan of c&c.
Shame that they aren't making the second part. Would have been amazing. Or at least if they used the new engine, something like Frostbite from Battlefield. This game would have been the best game without doubt!
I appreciate the cut scenes since it can get confusing why they are doing some of the things they are doing in the game. But I think you skipped the finished wooden horse cut scene.
This is a great game and a great story love playing it still especially 1v1 against friends and sending the largest army of hopolites and toxetes agianst there small army of slingers and axemen
who thinks these story lines can make a far better movie than the movie Troy xD. Even have some actors who can play the roles 1)Arkantos-Henry Cavill 2)Ajax-Dwayne the Rock Johnson 3)Odyseeus-Gerad Butler etc
hell this strategy game , i played it when i was like 9 or 10 , i mostly remember typing "pandorasbox" to get the comets falling from the sky , tornado and other stuff ..... i hate remembering primitive stuff
la voz de Arkantos en inglés suena casi como la de Beaumont a ratos, y a ratos como la de John Black del aoe3 jajajja y la voz de Atenea se escucha super profunda olovorgo :0
This is the extended edition with graphical upgrades and stuff. In the original, you would only see one group in the cutscene. But both groups were present, it's just that one of them served a role in the cutscene and would then be deleted and the other group is ready as the heroes you would command once the actual level starts. In the original it was very smooth and none of this was visible, but in the upgraded versions, the screens and resolutions are bigger and so more of the map can fit in the cutscene but then it reveals some fourth wall breaking behind-the-scenes.
i have the game full instaled and updated and everytime i get a cutscene, it stops at the very first section, i mean.... it doesn't connect the cutscenes in order... and sometimes it misses some cutscenes to play....and there is not voice overs but there are still only audio of the game itself.. T_T ...someone help me, please! T^T
I love the moment when Ajax asks if the Trojan Horse can fight, then Arkantos facepalms
ajax is like the dumb one
@@ErniLandia he likes to pulm heads off
Ajax is one of my best characters in this game seems child hood
@@ErniLandia and Odysseus is the smart one :D
and Odysseus's like "who IS this guy?"
Odysseus: Well pirate or not you need to get your boat repaired.
Arkantos: You don't think they can make it to Atlantis?
Ship: Crash!
Ajax: No...
xD
I allways laugh at that scene
That is the best one!
I love how the troops in the cutscenes look nothing like what they do in game xD
+That Guy show me
Oh sweet, I've already got champion Hoplites with fully upgraded armor!
*cutscene ends and they all revert to completely unupgraded units*
Fuck.....

That's because the cutscenes show them with upgrades, which disappear when the game starts.

Odysseus: *face-palm*
Odysseus doesn't face palm Arkantos does
AOM had one of the greatest storyline and plot
"Dont worry. This errand will not take long."
2:35 Arkantos sounding like a dad telling his son to study hard for that exam coming up next week.
1:59 If the trident was soo important, why do you leave it exposed???
First class reversed Atlantean psycology man, you're not strategist enough to get it
yeah the only reason it was stolen was because the pirates were too stupid to fall for the brilliance of atlantean psychology.
Honestly, I think that this game has a better storyline then Starcraft and Warcraft...
That awkward moment when the ship sinks after Arkantos believes they'll make it back to Atlantis... 8:10.
12:09 his jump looks different in my game.
When I was a kid I though arkantos name was "Atlantis"

atlantis look like the Mindanao island of the philippines
Why didnt they make an OST with the track in 5:15? Its insane.
God, this brings back the memories of the hours I played this PC. (Sighs), the memories of beating the bad guys were always the best.
5:20 soundtrack is insane... Why isn't it in any OST?
I appreciate the cut scenes since it can get confusing why they are doing some of the things they are doing in the game. But I think you skipped the finished wooden horse cut scene.
0:23-Old battles that were never showed in the game.
This game... good god the NOSTALGIA. THey have to do a AoM 2 or something!!
Very soon :D
Just tried the remastered. Kind of wish they kept the OG voice actors
2:40 Don't worry it won't last long. Sounds like what everyone thought about WW1
as did the thought of even having a second World War
This is a great game and a great story love playing it still especially 1v1 against friends and sending the largest army of hopolites and toxetes agianst there small army of slingers and axemen

You didn't include some scenes. For example Trojan horse part.
7:15 :D
I really liked the story of this game
This game is so much better than star craft or war craft
Arkantos: tHiS eRrAnD wIlL nOt TaKe LoNg
so did the thousand-ship Greek fleet at Troy believed
especially Odysseus
I'm sure it will be an Oddassy for the ages. :)
1:07 All these years Ive player AoM, I haven't realize Antlantis is Mindanao?!
I hope Odysseus gets home without to much trouble.
one of the best games EVER!!!!
