Hello everyone

I hope everyone is well, and managing in this crazy time we find ourselves in!

I'm here to ask for a nostalgic game today. It's Age of Mythology, but the enhanced version that they've dubbed "Retold".

For those who don't know, Age of Mythology is a real time strategy game from the same guys who made age of empires (my favourite game series ever). Only this time, it isn't Romans and Greeks and ancient history, but Greek, Egyptian and Norse mythology (originally, then expanded to include Chinese and now Japanese) that you control. There are Heroes and mythical creatures like minotaurs and Dragons, and you can even call on God powers like Zeus' thunderbolt!!!

The original came out two decades ago and I've replayed it many times (the opening menu music is epic btw, give it a listen), and now would like to replay the enhanced version. I've been a fan of Greek mythology since I was a child (my final high School year (we call it matric) English presentation was on Greek mythology, I got an A+😁). So this game just hits all the right spots, if you know what I mean? You'll notice my longest playtime on steam is this games cousin, AoE 2 (the 2013 and definitive versions), so rts really is my jam.

I've just quit my job, for a host of reasons I won't bore you with (mainly government bureaucracy), so I'm trying not to spend money on "luxuries" until I sort myself out. Nevermind the economic implications of what's happened in the Middle East. So I'd really appreciate it if someone is feeling generous!

Thanks for reading!!
