We never got a 4th Egyptian Major god, and I feel that the overall enthusiasm has died down. Anyway, I was thinking how cool it would have been if the gods were more involved in the campaigns. I have been working on an ongoing mod. Gods are playable, the Sand Giant makes a come back, the beta teleporting Sphinx is also here. Plus a couple of new stuff such as the Sarcophagus and the Solar Barque. As it stands most of the Egyptian myths remain untold. There is a huge potential here that remains unexplored. Ra and Set's nightly fight against Apep is one of the major motifs in Egyptian mythology and I want to explore that stuff. No mummy should be without a Sarcophagus. It's a shame that the only mission that focused on Mummies and Tomb merely used a Temple instead of a special building.

Just finished a 3v3 game where the hades opponent destroyed 3 of our wonders (45,000 resources lost btw) using his earthquake god power Why is it capable of doing 14k+ damage to a building? Norse enemy uses fimbulwinter to get vision, then we get earthquaked. 0 counter. We then tried to both build a wonder at the same time but by then he got his own wonder so the earthquake cooldown is so low its game over This seems like quite an oversight?

Is it bugged or somethng? I've tried to make it work but, It's always the same my whole army just walks and dies against anything is in front of them without deal any dmg https://preview.redd.it/bwci359wsgch1.png?width=498&format=png&auto=webp&s=b90b1d32cb9bf0439a34c68151cb08c1cb097b54

Now, i am aware the combination of both Hestia and Artemis is currently not accessible for any Greek major god. I am also not a PvP player (i play versus AI). I was mostly curious about this combo, it seems potent against anything that can't heal, and somewhat reduce any regen certain unit can have either through technologies or relics. Although, after calculating a bit, it seems to be roughly as strong as Appolo's Sun Ray, after applying the DOT, but requires to go Mythic to be as good. Mind you, i only applied it as if a toxote only had a single shot and fled, on an hypothetical unit with no resistance. I haven't made any spreadsheet to back that up, just used a calculator. I'll see how I could do that after, seems very time consuming for something purely for the love of the game. So, I ask : what would this combination change in PvP if it was accessible ? Is there other example of this combo in other RTS ? Thank you for your time.

I've been experimenting with some crazy fast age up times for Huitzilopochtli and came up with this one using Blood Pact to age up with 9 villagers. As far as I can tell it's reproducible on any map where hunt can be lured under the TC. Is it the fastest age up any god can do? All 4 starting villagers to gold, build calpulli Quimichin Spy to start pushing hunt under TC Next 5 villagers all onto that hunt When gold gets to 130~ grab 3 villagers, force drop off, and move to hunt (or send them straight into the TC for a dropoff). They'll be carrying some gold to push that number up a bit; be sure not to go over 150. At 150 gold, use the gold villager to start the temple At 1 minute or so, use Blood Pact on a hunt villager. Garrison the villager with 1~ second left on Blood Pact to get whatever food they're holding before they die. A force garrison on the hunt villagers will be needed to get the food to 400 at 1:43 After that, I think a split of 4 on gold, 2 on wood, 3 on food is best to start spamming Warrior Priests. You can have a Teixiptla in your opponents base before 3 minutes.
