Fun Fact: it is AoM lore that when soldiers are turned into pigs, they still retain their former memories and consciousness, up until they get slaughtered for food.
I am glad that the color palette and the shading haven't changed from what the OG was. It is one of the most crisp, pleasant to the eye graphic settings for RTS games
@TheGielnik you will sadly always get that, unless they go out if their way to say "x artist made this". People are just too scared of AI art replacing them
Reusing powers at the cost of Favor is really interesting. It was frustrating to use a power and then let it slide. I guess the games like C&C Generals and C&C3 with the power to use gave them an idea regarding the reusage of special powers.
Going to be honest - AoM is so messy due to the god powers and myth units it's probably both the most fun Age game to play as well as the most fun to watch.
@AussieDrongo maybe you could rotate the map such that it matches the UI. It's only a temporary fix, but at least the red color would always be on the right side an the blue on the left side.
Villagers have little changes across civs. Greek are pretty standart. Norse are limited to build farms, wagons and houses. Egyptian are slow to build, you need a lot of them to rush, or have a pharaoh to help out. BTW, crazy memories. I have similar about aom, it was my first rts.
Love the commentary but don’t have much context/familiarity with the game. Is there a video you recommend that explains the game in more of an overview/beginner format?
It's odd seeing a Hades player pick Athena over Ares. Ares just has better upgrades that play into Hades specialty. More damage for archers plus more damage for hoplites which you'll want for a meat shield
If you don't like it then go watch someone else, this is what drongo does and most people don't care or like it, he isn't doing it "all the time" either...

Just like the Odyssey. When Odysseus' men are turned into pigs, they still retain their human consciousness.
i highly doubt anyone watching aom in 2024 doesnt know that
That’s why when Circe turns them into pigs, they still able to go a rescue other pigs and storm her fortress
5:00 poor villager , got headbutted then pinballed by tree lol
ahhaahahha

Ya the game looks amazing visually, but 99% of the discourse surrounding it is mindless screeching about alleged AI portraits. Very disappointing.

@@TheGielnik To be fair the AI god portraits are pretty egregious. Most of the portraits are fine but some look REALLY bad bad.
15:39 drongo got mad hahaha it's so much fun to watching drongo videos
"Hit the button!"
Say no more
Lmao that was hilarious
Really enjoying the AoM content mate. I know it's limited due to Beta but really enjoying it.
Oxcarts are built by villies now?
That is amazing!
Yeah it is a gigantic Norse buff.

pretty sure it came from Altlantians and hyper-turtling. reusable power are anti-turtling.

that game really worth the hyped man

At the top left, there's a raven icon representing Odin. On the right, there's a helmet icon representing Hades.😂

I don't know if you haven't noticed yet, but I think the UI colors are flipped with the map colors. 🤠
The " .... Wait ..." was pure gold :D
It's great to see that you can fight in different ages!
mann this brings me back. i absolutely loved playing as the norse in aom
Matador the fastes Aoe 2 DE player if you look at apm stats sick player really good
Guys can you see footsteps in this version ? Is there option to enable footsteps ?
8:51 horses--->no waves,water splash ?
Oh Drongo, you sillybilly.

I think red needed a castle and more villagers in favor to re use the curse or restoration
Ending was funny :D
Drongo you're a silly billy (rugged voice)
wow its confusing they need to change the colour thing

The water looks a bit crap, especially when units run on it and it has 0 reactivity.
Earthquake god powers and tornado have some reactivity with water
Any water battles?
Drongo what have you been up to to get so many RUclips softporn accounts commenting? 😂😂🤣😭😭😭
every video: 5 minutes of complaining on the HUD - every time XD
u have a son?! how old is he
I am loving the aom content drongo.. although, I think the graphics look old and ui kinda looks shit
😂😂😂😂😂😂
FIRST (to say first)
Is color picking disabled in ranked or wtf? it's always blue vs red
Awezome casting, they need to stop using AI art so obvious
Yes we get it the players aren't aligned to the top literally every caster can stop mentioning it every video.
And they can rotate the view, but never think to do it.
So curse turns you into a ukrainian…
Why drong keeps bringing up his private stories all the time man, just talk about the game for once.
If you don't like it then go watch someone else, this is what drongo does and most people don't care or like it, he isn't doing it "all the time" either...
@line321 thats what I did, tried to watch it again, but its just so annoying I had to say something cause other than that,I love the content
