Right now there's only switching it off with hotkey, but it would be nice to be able to switch it on too. I know alt+q or w or e or t is autoqueue, but that's not as comfortable as picking the units and then pressing autoqueue.

Did you know shifting sands has a minimum range? I had a group of wadjets on the wrong side of my front line. I wanted to move them a short distance just to the other side of my front line just to find it was not possible. Shifting sands has a minimum cast distance of like 40ish by my eyeball estimation. Maybe like 5 minimum distance would be good to prevent pointless double clicks but nothing more.

Remove shifting sands minimum diatance!

Been looking forward to playing AOM Retold for ages, but the Steam reviews frequently complain of instability, crashes and always-online requirements causing problems. Have these issues been fixed or should I wait to buy the game please?

My friends and I have a running joke where we quote AOM voice lines to each other. I wanted to get a full list of them but it was surprisingly difficult and what I found were articles with the lines buried in text.
I spent ages with google and chatgpt (who was very, very stubborn when it came to sending them) to get a this list.

I just thought i'd post it here in case anyone was searching google for them.

Here ya go:

Greek:

• Etimos – Ready (masculine)

• Etimi – Ready (feminine)

• Prostagma? – Orders?

• Lege! – Speak!

I think some of the spelling is wrong but i'll wait to see what people say.
Also, if you don't know - the Egyptian and Atlantean voice lines are not real words so that's why they don't have translations here.
If I have missed any please comment them below and i'll add it to the list :)

the atlanteans let you upgrade every human unit to hero, including workers. military units make a little more sense, i guess they make them do extra damage to myth units. but when should i upgrade the workers? or oracles? just whenever i have extra funds? or is there a cue i should be looking for.

the main question is, basically, what should my mindset be about these upgrades?

thanks.

Does anyone know how to mute a teammate?

I went to browse games and I see the name of most of the games are just ____ name's game. I remember when modding scene for AoM was strong and there was tons of different types of games to try and was confused by what I saw in AoM Retold's game lobby. There's also no filter to select modded games so I can't tell if there is any modded games.

1. pasive makes 30% of lifesteal 2. they have 0.5 regeneration per second. 3.

i dont find any unit that can beat it not even pikeman with the svinfylking.

Not a dev, I’m attempting to gauge the majority opinion. I’ll keep my own view out of it to avoid influencing anyone

Feel free to elaborate in the comments if you wish

In Ranked games, military AQ is currently off by default unless all players disable "Ban military autoqueue." Changing the default would make AQ on unless all players agree to turn it off. (If it's On, players aren’t forced to use it if they don’t want to.)

I'm interested to see how people use control groups. While most keybindings are a matter of putting them somewhere excessable, control groups are more or an art than a science so I'm curious about how everyone does them.

For a long while I put infantry on 1, archers 2, cav 3, siege 4, monks/heros 5 (I come from aoe2). 6 and 7 were special case like forward vils going to build a tc or castle or long range siege like a trebs or both bombards. Aoe2 let you have 20 control groups so I also sometimes used function keys for when I had split groups or for production buildings if select all wasn't a good choice like on water maps.

Recently I've found that putting specific units on each key makes it take too long to move a group, particularly if you are fighting in 2 places. It served me well as campaigner and through the mid and elos but as I've gotten higher up, I'm adapting a new hotkey scheme.

Now I'm simply putting units in different locations altogether in one group and calling it a day. For example, I'll have Jason with a few hoplites and a few tox on 1 and Heracles with a few Hoplites and tox on 2 then maybe a group of 3-4 hoplites on 3. I find this way of control grouping to encourage me to be in more places at once and it works quite well.

I've even taken to just leave units ungrouped if I have too many separate groups for it to be practical to group each one.

How do you do control groups?

Edit: I should probably mention that I use omnipedal hex from gaming mouse for select all production building hotkeys. It's 6 buttons, 3 for each foot. Left foot has barracks, range, stable. Right it temple, tc, castle. Highly recommend.

I was looking to pick up the remake now that it’s on sale, but I saw some steam reviews saying the campaign has some always online BS that restarts the single player missions if you’re connection drops while playing, is this true??

Also is it playable on steam deck because I’ve seen a lot of posts saying it crashes on both steam deck and PC currently??

I know this isn't strictly on the subject of AoM but I figured enough people here would be AoE fans too while knowing what arena of the gods is.

I've really been enjoying this game mode in AoM and am hoping for something similar in AoE. Anyone know if there's something like it?

edit: I've been solo-ing arena of the gods, so I'm less thinking about the co-op aspect.

It makes the game feel alive! And the automatons look cybernetic with their teal glow.

AoM Retold lost the Best Sym/Strategy game of the year to Frostpunk 2. Whats your opinion on the winner? I'm shocked tbh.

What’s the easiest way to do this? Is there a specific file I can copy over?

Nothing to deep, I just enjoyed the first game and was wondering if I should get retold
