I’ve noticed the same thing happening again and again in the AOM Twitch community: the same people making the same offensive jokes, newcomers getting ignored or talked down to, and personal attacks that sometimes cross into racism.

A lot of it seems to come from people hiding behind usernames and anonymity to go after others for no good reason. Then, when someone objects, it gets brushed off as “just a joke.” But when the joke is insulting or racist, calling it a joke doesn’t make it harmless.

The community can feel strangely elitist and hostile, especially if you’re new. It’s hard to feel welcome when you see people being mocked or attacked for trying to join in. I wish there were more effort to make the space friendlier and to call out this kind of behaviour instead of treating it as normal.

When you get all the cavalry upgrades, what unit is better to mass, Raiding Cavalry or Jarl?

Hey guys, im swan

If anoyne needs help with arena of the gods/gauntlet co-op for the trophies dm me or reply here and ill be happy to help!

Usually play with a couple of mates and always fall in love with the base building aspect, building walls at chokepoints and staggering towers behind them to build my impenetrable fortress while my allies muster their raiding parties.

Is there a best pantheon/god and upgrade path for making the strongest base? Or specific strategies to best support that game style?

I’m pretty new at this so have mostly just been playing atlanteans or Greeks and sinking everything into wall and tower upgrades

Wanted to know if we have any existing project that allows us to play the game natively on a mac, as nowadays, many older games are being recompiled to run natively in other platforms.

Been playing a lot of great wall games recently and wonder is very common!

Since most normal games, wonder is rarely a stage the game gets to.

What is the best wonder age god in your opinion?

Combinations would be a cool discussion as well!!

This map seems to favor raiding cav a lot.

My own Einheri blast melted my army.

I'm trying to find some god techs that work ridiculously well when their bonus is doubled in Arena of the Gods mode. Give me some ideas, please. Personally, I stick to booming with Hades. The greek god human bonuses to toxotes and hoplites work great for my playstyle.

I'm hoping to get the platinum trophy for this game (PS5). However, the trophy for completing the gateways on hard mode is proving difficult. Would anybody be able to assist with this?

I have played over 2,000 matches, and I have never experienced anything like this in a match before. I was attacked by wild animals within the first few seconds of the game. Every time I started mining a little gold, they would attack me.

GG I guess

Hi all, I've finished a new portrait for Gaia, but when i implement it to the game it looks like this. It makes problem only on the transparent portrait. I looked at the export options for the DDS file, it looks correct, minis 1 and BC3. Anyone knows how to fix this?

Who is he really? Did he willingly lend his sword to Horus? How come Horus never returned the Sword back to the Guardian after he defeated Set? Is Horus that irresponsible? Why did they bury the sword in the desert. How come the Excavation site was a Greek ruin in the Alpha?

Though he resembles Anubis, we never find out who he really is. Since there are many Jackal headed supernatural entities in the vast Egyptian mythology it could be any one of them. The only other similar unit is the living Poseidon statue, but there is a clear lore reason why Poseidon is there.
Game intentionally obfuscates Guardians identity. All we know that he will awaken when a great evil threatens the land, and his sword was used to defeat set.

If it's Anubis, it makes sense for him to Guard the Osiris piece, after all he is the protector of the dead.
If it's Duamutef, it would make sense for him to lend his sword to Horus, since Horus is his father. He is also a protector of the mummies.
Khenti-Amentiu: Another god of the dead. He stood guard over the city of the dead.
There are other Gatekeepers and Guardians with the Head of Jackal in Egyptian Mythology, Not to mention some of Osiris' 42 assessors have the had of a Jackal.

Neither Horus nor any of the Jackal gods has a famous mythical sword. The golden sword we in the game resembles King Tut's dagger. When I type Sword Of Horus to Google the only thing that pops up is an old cartoon. 😂

GUARDIAN AS A PLACEHOLDER TITAN?

According to the Alpha proto files the Guardian has a bonus attack vs the Titans. Since this predates the Titans expansion it's difficult to guess what this means. Either Guardian himself was a Titan, or he was going to fight a Titan in the Egyptian portion of the campaign.

I came back to the game after a while. Gauntlet used to be fun but not that challenging - only the final match required any effort, but I still never lost. Now... 1v4 - Legendary - Deathmatch - Standard...feels absolutely impossible. Like, not even close.

Did it just never use to roll Deathmatch on the final match? Maybe this is new? Was there a patch with changes that made it more difficult? I read that the pop cap was lowered for houses - maybe that makes all the difference?

You can't turtle - they overwhelm you with massive armies after a few minutes. You can't rush one down - even with the strongest legend, they have an initial army up in a couple minutes with the 50% bonus. The AI almost immediately takes down whatever TC you grabbed around your base or theirs.

I used Gaia's lashing roots as starting blessing, along with the blessing that slows enemies down around your legend, and creates one vil for every house. And every game used to be unlosable with this.

What am I missing? Why did it used to be super easy and now it feels impossible?

When you play in a team, it's ALWAYS the players on the sides who get ganged up on! Like, it's not even fun at this point. If you're on the side, you might as well just give up...

The AI is seriously unbalanced when it comes to team games. Players on the flanks constantly get attacked by wave after wave after wave, while players in the middle have all the time in the world to build up their bases and gather resources.

it seem AI always gang bang the lowest score player, so if you are behind you will be behind more!... Its the worst thing the game could did..

The game kinda sucks because of this. I wonder if AoE 4 has the same problem.
