- There is a new Greek god, a new Eggy god and a new Norse god! Today we look at the new Eggy god and there are some bonkers features.
We don't attack before the Mythic age and explore as much of the God as possible.

I like the idea of melee flying units that can also be attacked by land melee units. It kinda makes sense. The flying unit would need to be at low height level to attack and be attacked by melee units but also fly away over building and forest. It's a nice addition to mechanics similar to amphibian units that bring smth new.
Melee attacking singers 😮
Living statues! Big like to the imagination. No idea if it is part of the ancient Egyptian lore but I like it.
You never played Tomb's kings in Warhammer :p
I must say, I did not anticipate this to be as hilarious and high quality as it turned to be, extremely well done.
I did miss the Major God specific bonuses but maybe I did not pay attention.
Archaic GP: Seems like a weaker AoE bolt limited to heroes. I do seem to remember that you only used it on your Pharaoh. Can you also use it on priests? Since the GP says heroes, it might be interesting to spam a bunch of heroes, ball them, and then use this GP to see if it triggers seperately for each hero. Would make it a very potent high-risk nuke.
Classical GP: It looks amazing, but I agree that it feels clunky. What is the point with upgrades for a unit that can only be trained for 2 mins from one building? Perhaps it might be better to make this a permanent cast ( Like Healing Spring or Plenty) or make it re-usable after a cooldown when it gets destroyed. Honestly feel like you should have access to the unit it builds for the entire game (so the upgrades also make sense).
Classical myth: Looks cool for sure, kudos for whoever made and animated that. Balancewise I feel the bird is a bit weak and the scorpions with being non controllable but also having 0 population cost will imo either be completely useless or in some niche situation hilariously broken (bypassing pop limits always is) with not much in between.
Heroic GP: Son of Sobek is broken. A heavily armored 950+ HP healeable myth bro with high damage and AoE stun? Man...OP.
Heroic myth: Apep is egypt's medusa and they get it cheaper and earlier. Fun and looks great, but idk how balanced an heroic ranged myth with an insta-kill special is.
Mythic GP: OMFG, hilarious, creative, beautifully made but....BROKEN AS HELL. Sure it needs the monument investment, but with all monuments up this looks stronger than a titan when combined (just the last statue alone with its 5500+ HP. Now add all monuments together with HP, armor, attack... Fast Mythic Aten would be an ultra OP affair).
Mythic myth: I did not see a lot of what this did so I am not sure how good it is. Looking at the rest it might be very strong, but probably depends on how it performs in the field vs its cost.
All in all a very well made mod and I hope to see you try out those other modded new Major Gods as well!
Can't answer some of the balance questions fully (we need more testing to do that!), but I can say that the Archaic GP does in fact create these bursts of damage on all heroes, so if you make like ten priests it'll be a nuke.
There's actually a hotkeys bug for Aten (which, as I'm a pretty bad player who doesn't use hotkeys that much, I didn't notice) where if you use the hotkey to build a barracks, you get a barracks. One of Aten's bonuses is that barracks are replaced with royal palaces, which can train the royal guard unit, so that was a pretty big mistake on my part!
The idea around Son of Sobek was that he, being both a hero and myth unit, would get countered by enemy heroes (certainly he does terribly against, say, eight heroic priests) but it's very possible that he's just too strong. The Apep's instant kill only works on human soldiers, so I'm hoping it isn't absolutely broken, but I think that it might just hard-counter Jarls, Elephants, and other strong-but-expensive human soldiers.
And yeah, I think I've got to reduce the monument giants' pierce armor. They're buildings, so siege weapons do great against them, but seeing just how effectively they tank everything else, including Eggy heroes...they need a significant nerf. I'd have said build elephants against them, but then I realized that I'd also given Aten that ranged instant-kill myth unit that makes elephants obsolete! So 100% gets a nerf.
@@apropergentleman7865 Thanks for the informative reply, appreciated!
I think it says a lot about how high the quality of this mod is that most of my comment were balance questions and no technical or animation ones. It looks beautiful and is very creative. Super high quality stuff and I look forward to seeing more ( and with your archaic GP explanation I would LOVE to try an Aten hero nuke rush)
@@SchimmenDanser Oh trust me, there's some animation questions you could ask lmao -- over the summer, we're planning a lot of polish (custom UI overlays for the new gods, better techtrees, etc), but some units (like the royal guard, in fact) have incomplete upgrade textures and the Eldritch gods have a TON of placeholder models and textures (which I'm trying to whittle down before the Eldritch 3.0). Hell, even the Eldritch titan only has an idle animation, and goes back to Cerberus whenever he does anything!
A lot of work needs to be done to tidy up things all over the place, I'm afraid
@@apropergentleman7865 Looking forward to seeing all of it in action. You are doing the Gods work with this. A massive undertaking of high quality. Even if a work in progress still, this is the biggest and best mod I have ever seen for AoM and I highly respect you (and your team if you have one to assist) for it!
Son of Sobek is basically Renekton from League of Legends haha
I was looking for this hahaha
Wait so there are two upgrades for Royal palace units but you can only train like one or two of them
The Son of Sobek uses the Sobek model from Smite lol
lmao, it's the pre-rework one as well Xd
I was here to say the same. Even death animation. Just complete rip off.
@@georgestain2803 overall a lot of the things in this mod look quite rough, but I guess it's fun :D
@@Wenedi in previous video. heroic age of Roman buildings looked like from Empire Earth game.
@@Wenedi We're a group of hobbyists, so we really don't have the resources to make custom models for everything. Our primary focus is on making things visually distinct and playable, which is why some civs (the eldritch, specifically) have a LOT of placeholder assets. So we've got warcraft units, we've got beta units, and we've got retextured units, in addition to custom units we made ourselves from scratch.
Such an impressive mod, this is so cool. Do Celts next
Celts, sadly, aren't done yet -- we'll finish them after the Japanese!
@@apropergentleman7865 `Looking forward to it!
hack+pirce dmg slingers are absurdly strong :-D you can just spam them and thats all. I was expecting like OK, upgrade will give them 0,5 max 1 dmg, but they got 3 xD
Definitely Sobek's best technology! They might need a nerf, though -- guess we'll find out when we have a couple of online games ;)
Consider the technology that sehkmet gives. 30% bonus dmg vs infantry. Then what this gives. Its a good way to tell if something is in line with balance or out of line.
@@BoitTV It got buffed to 75% in EE, iirc -- and I still think it's essentially worthless.
Ah wait, I forgot -- slingers get a big bonus against throwing axemen (I think 2x?), so Slings of the Sun is actually a huge buff against them specifically.
@@BoitTV main problem is archer unit with hack dmg. It efectively removing all downsides of archer unit. Now you are good against cavalry, siege units, buildings. etc etc.. I saw how fast siege tower was destroyed by your slingers. But love the ideas and content in this Divine mode. Looking forward for some PvP action. Really fresh air in AOM.
This one is definitely one of the most unique gods of the mod, aggro egyptian looks so cool!
They've importent Sobek from Smite! No fcking way! 😃
- He is Aten, but he is an eggy god
- He is Atu then
Lol those myth units are so fun❤😂😂
All part of Age of Wrath ❤
Can you try the Celts next?
You make the Titan AI Look silly xD
Titan is very strong!
@@BoitTVNot as strong as Boit!!
Son of sobek with its everything exactly copied from the game smite. But its beautiful
And statue power is overpowered
Wow
What game is this?
It's not a regular AoM🎉
very well done
Where can I use this God on steam?
Really nice god
what is the name of this expansion? why are there so many gods? how do i download?
It’s mods
ngl the constant blindign light obscuring the phaero is kind of annoying, also if it concerns the sun its more rightly the domain of Ra anyways.
Aten is actually the sun itself, far more literally than Ra. In many depictions of Ra, you'll see the sun over Ra's head as a disk or a circlet, and that's Aten. The word "Aten" itself means "disk", in fact!
The point is right though. I think you can achieve the same result by toning it down a bit.
@@BoitTV Ah, that's true -- I'll see what I can do to make it less glaring
Why not do Aten-Ra? xD
In around 1200 BC the pharaoh Achnaton changed teh cult from worshiping Ra, God of the sun, to Aton, god of the moon. His reform lasted only during his life, after his death he was proclaimed heretic, and all his priests and followers were eliminated.
Aten isn't actually the god of the moon -- I believe "Silver Aten" was the moon, and was considered an aspect of Aten, though.
Pharaoh Akhenaten said that there was only 1 God, and it was Aten, the disk of the sun. He forced, as a heretic, his culture to abandon the worship of idols as they all were only mere aspects of Aten. After his death, the dispute over whether Akhenaten was right, lead to the cultural fusion of Aten-Ra, which ultimately lead to the evolution of Egyptian Shamanism into the closest thing to modern monotheistic religion.
Without Akhenaten, we may not even have Christianity. Hmm... (Not mentioning the minor disputes over Aton, Atem, and Atum... All, "The God of the One", hence modern "Atom")
Which version is include these gods ?
Its an unofficial mod. He posted the link in his video description. Have fun!
You cant have aten! Whole point of aten is monotheism!
