They ruined this game with Wonder Age.
This is BS. If they wanted this to be a victory setting you could toggle in the game setup, that's fine. I would still think it was really dumb, but whatever. Different strokes. But there is absolutely no way a basically endless cheap god powers and multiple super powerful titans level should be a normal and unavoidable aspect of the game. That is what cheat codes are for. There's an option to disable cheats and titans but not wonder age which is more of a gamebreaker than both of them combined? Come on.

It completely changes everything, which is borderline sacrilegious for such a classic. I just wanted a remastered Age of Mythology, but this just isn't the same game anymore.

The complete lack of restraint from the developers is unreal. Sometimes less really is more.

Unavoidable? Why are your games taking so long without fighting your opponent can float 5000 of every resource?

God Powers are not cheap when they have an entry cost of around 15000 resources and 5400 seconds of build time.

Wonder Age is expensive in first place because they also changed the Wonder's cost. In the original and Extended Edition, wonders cost 1.000 food, wood, gold + 50 favor whereas in Retold they cost 5.000 food, wood, gold.
Build time also has been adjusted bc in the original, it was 1.800 seconds for 1 worker whereas here it's now 5.400 seconds.

I'd like to point out there's a 10 minute cooldown between Titans for Wonder Age, it's not like they can just spam them.

Which is the same amount of time that a Wonder Victory would occur in the original.

It continues to just serve as a more fun way to prevent long, drawn-out matches when someone has a clear advantage.

60 games and I have had only 1 go all the way to wonder age and only 2 games to even have titans most of my matches are over in the first 20 mins

My game never gets to Wonder Age, left along Titan Gate. I only able to reach Wonder Age in 4v4 or 5v5, which for me is a troll game rather than anything serious.

are you dense? wonders are not a new concept in this game. in a game with multiple teams, it is likely that at least someone will get there. why do people keep saying this???

You should follow your own advice and tell less uneducated nonsense. :P

Any more than one titan is ridiculous, especially given that they're bigger and stronger than usual. The whole concept of a wonder is that it's the pinnacle of your architecture that you have to DEFEND from enemies. I've built wonders in the past, and wonder victories are no less intense as you have to defend it from all enemies. Turning it into essentially a weapon is just stupid. The titan is the big weapon you should be building up to.

cool. It still sucks. The point of a wonder is that you protect it. It's not a super weapon. That's what the titan is for. The titan is now just another myth unit.
It should also be noted that the wonder didn't used to be a factor in conquest setting at all. It was something you could very easily toggle out with one click.

Yeah, which is why the time it takes to build it is massively increased now.

In every other age game, completing the wonder instantly ends the game in victory for your team. Is that the method you prefer?

I like this one a lot better. If some guy wants to sit in the back, spending 5k of each resource and then devoting basically all of his workers to spending 10 minutes building this thing (which costs him far more resources that he isn't gathering) while his team basically fights outnumbered... That's a gamble.

It won't much matter if he gets wonder age and is now 4v1 or whatever. His titan will not save him.
