When I was 13 I went to Ensemble Studios HQ ostensibly as a Games Journalist (I was an Important Forums Moderator at Age of Kings Heaven)

Wait what who were you on AoKH?

Hopefully the rerelease will be successful like AoK's was, we might see more someday (probably not).

Huh weird timing.

Microsoft hiring developers for a "well loved strategy franchise".

I hope this pans out.

Sky passages.

Be sure to mention scenarios, they're a huge part of the multiplayer experience. Age of Mythology is second only to Starcraft 2 and Warcraft 3 in the quality of them and eventually they made up far and away the majority of games on ESO.

Gastraphetes, the crossbow dudes. I remember them being really overpowered in castle bloods. :gonk:

Observations:

the lighting looks a million times better than in the original; I used to habitually set it to default every game but now I think I might actually tolerate day/night cycles even.

they added attack move!

zooming super far out looks weird as heck but maybe I'll get used to it.

it runs perfectly fine for me (I haven't tried a huge game yet) but there are some things that look fairly unpolished... building previews before you set them down look real ugly, the title screen doesn't scale with new borders, you can hear the stuff in the main menu generating when you launch, and so on. I'm just happy performance is good though so I can tolerate all that.

Pleasantly surprised.

They didn't remove it at all, right click on a unit portrait. Or the giant button in the goddamn main menu. What are you guys on about.

You have to click on the banner at the top of the main menu to switch to the forgotten, otherwise it just stays as the conquerors.
