With "we" I mean a group of 4 Friends and me

Our level varies but it ranges from mid to low level in the genre of Real Time Strategy games

We started playing about a week ago, and we played some matches since, we've played free for all and teamed up vs the AI.

We played some random "faction" matches, in wich the person who got Atlanteans ended up winning unless focused by the others, they ascended so quick, and were ready to attack very fast.

The same happened against the AIs when one of them got the mentioned faction, they just progressed so fast and Russhed us when they were un Classical

We decided to ban picking them, so we can't select them, but can get them using Random, and risk getting the Norse wich we don't know how to play.

So, are they really Thaaat good? Or it's just our low level of experience at the game? And how can we counter them? So they are not so unfair to play against

I've been playing AoM for a very long time, but I've never really noticed this before. I was playing a few random map games and I saw that my resources (particularly wood) were slowly trickling down for no apparent reason. Is there something I'm obviously missing? It only happens in late game when I have quite a bit of resources so it's not exactly detrimental just more confusing. I noticed it a Kronos run and a Poseidon run, just wondering if there's some mechanic I'm not familiar with.

So, when I play singleplayer against AI, I often win after destroying all of the AI's Town Centers, where they request to resign, and I accept it. However, I was playing with a friend today and we did a multiplayer map. We destroyed the opponent's Town Centers, but they did not ask to resign. Is there a reason why that does not happen? Also, is there any kind of mod or anything that the community knows about to make this possible by any chance?

Does AOM work on windows 11?

It crashes with pegasus and theseus, not gonna test more tho because its very frustrating.

I tried changing the language from portuguese to english but it still crashes.

The game immediately closes like im pressing a X button.

I just recently started playing around with modifying units by editing the proto(x).xml file.

However I'm editing the proto2.8.xml (AOM:EE) which means if I were to play a standard game it will be affected by any potential changes I've made (and online play is probably impossible).

At the moment I've just got a backup of the original file and rename them back and forth, but it's pretty inconvenient.

Ideally I'd want to just be able to have a new proto.xml file in the Data folder which would only be used by my custom scenarion/campaign without affecting normal gameplay.

I've read online that the AoM campaign uses the data from the first proto.xml (and you can see while playing campaign that unit stats and costs are different from current balance), so it should be possible, but I haven't found anywhere in the Map/Scenario Editor to change this.

p.s. I'm currently using Enhanced Edition but if I have to I wouldn't mind The Titans. I already read that if you want to make new custom civilizations and gods you can't use Enhanced Edition so I've already been thinking about switching.

Hello there, as per the title, Im looking for a scenario tester, as im continuingly making scenarios for the 2nd part of my custom campaign, i need someone to test those scenarios and try to cheese the crap out of them, looking for gaps, bugs, testing the overall difficulty...etc. I had a friend of mine doing this stuff, but he no longer plays the game unfortunately.

I tried doing this myself, but no matter how hard I try, i find myself subconsciously doing the "right thing" as i made the whole thing up, so i need a person that has no clue what is going on ! Thank you !

Requires AOM Extended Edition + Tale of Dragon DLC

I haven't played aom in almost 10 years and want to get back into it. This may be a stupid question but I'm not sure if my laptop can handle the game as I don't know a lot about computers. I was looking at the steam system requirements, but couldn't understand very well. I have the Dell Inspiron 14 5425, will this be able to play the game?

I was reminiscing about when I played multiplayer over a decade ago and I remembered those high resource maps that were divided into separate bases and it got me thinking...

Why were those maps all called "Zelda" maps? Does anyone know?

Have there been any news about AoM2? Or the HD edition, like they did for AoE 2? The game was my childhood

Though I regret buying the Chinese expansion. Now THAT was a massive letdown. Really hope they fix that one day

I assume not as they are both myth units, but just asking the question in the event that it is some quirk in the game.

• Spy has 27 LoS no matter which unit you cast it on. To compare, Villagers have 14 LoS and infantry has 16.
• Spy can be cast on a group of huntable animals to act like a free invisible obelisk. Spy fades after the affected animal is killed.
• Spy can be cast on herdables, but fades after the animal is converted/killed, so this is useless.
• You can see whether your opponent has already cast Spy or not using Diplomacy screen.
• Omniscience reveals Spy.
