Finnish mythology
It would be cool to see the finnish mythology in the game. Just a thought.

Why no?

It is an neat idea.

Fins are just too weird man, you should be like proper nordic types but you have more in common with Hungarians.

What i would like to see in AOM are the Aztecs, Olmec or Maya.

OR

The Phoenicians so we worship Baal and Moloch.

Why not all of them (including Finns)?

Seems more like something for Mortal Kombat, they could go with a Finnish Hyme.

Is there enough gods and myth units?

I think the Mythologies here are at a greater scale than national stories.
Finns, sweden, hungarian and most other european nations are either greek or nordic.

Greek and Rome - although different names for their gods - for example, are considered the same by Anthrolpogists.
Egyptian is different
chinese is different
And the Altantian is the Pre-story of the greek pantheon. (e. g. the greek mythological creation-story)

Maybe african Voodoo would be something, Alhtough I don't know anything about that, and if it would be suitable, mytholgical-wise.
South american could be something else. But this is also very unknowns, because we all just annihilated them for good...

National stories, (i. e. like that of Romania, namely Vlad the paler) aren't mythology in the scale of the game... Finns might have similar stories. But they definitly are part of the nordic pantheon, mythological-wise.

The Nibelungen-Sage - for example - is another Germanic Saga, but very secular, not mythological... (e. g. afaik, gods do have very little influence in that story, in compariosn to the troja- or odyssey-saga...)

I don't know much about celtic mythology, but this could be something else, as I see it... Although I know more about actec gods than about the celtic... (and aside of the name "Qutzacoatl", I know absolutly nothing about the actecs or other south americans...) So I don't know if the scale is big ienough for the game.

Conclusion, as I see it, what could be possible:
- celtic
- voodoo(?)
- south american (Actec might be the most possible, as the religion of Maya and Inca is even more unknown...)

it's said, that the wikings discovered america earlier than columbus. So, that could be something, where a "what if...?"-scenario of meeting south amercan mythology with eurasion/african mytholgy could start...

Although, it seems, actec mythology is the most likely, I realy would appreciate some surprise and the senond addon is about celtic... (that the first is a completely overhauled chinese, is fact.) But we'll see.

It's so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ frustrating that people who think it shouldn't be included as a civ only because of their own ignorance and lack of knowledge of that culture. I'm so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ done with this ♥♥♥♥. Perkele.
