Good afternoon,
Like all of the rest of you, I was very impressed with the god powers. It seems that ES went for the "myth units" and "god powers" options in the poll... Were those the options that won?
Well here are my findings in these great shots...but Archangel, wouldn't it be easier to next time, give us a movie !Well the thing that its most noticeable obviously is teh apeps. Aren't there alot of them! If you look at the third pic, you will see he's outnumbered about 10 to 1, each one of them. He must have plenty of hitpoints to resist such a force. I believe those are Greek champions, or hoplites whatever they are called. They have quite long swords (perhaps a weapons upgrade?). Back to the apeps, you see that some are rearing up, and some are crouching low. I believe the apep rears up then pounces on his helpless prey. ALthough eating men alive would be and would look spectacular, I do not think this is the case. Dead swordsmen are scattered around each apep in a splotch of blood. I don't see anyone being eaten, though they certainly are large enough... Wait one second, do the infantry have swords at all? The two on the near hill in teh first screen seem to ahve large sticks. Maybe its an unupgraded infantry ...Now for the second breath-taking thing in the screenshots, the meteor god power. Now the meteors are coming in sequence not all at once. It seems that in the second screen, the apep in the heat of the meteor shower is still alive inside of it. He seems to rather, be sinking a bit in teh depression. Eitehr his civ is casting the god power (which i doubt as the apep is egyption i believe, and we know meteors are greek, wait thats right isn't it). From this, only a few things are possible. Either the apeps have major hp and are extremely tough to take down, or god powers do not affect one's own units. Then again, I might be wrong, and he is dieing but it doesn't look like it...
I also noticed that the infantry seem to be flying away from teh impact of the crash. Yes two of them are, and one right in the middle of the falling rock is jsut crushed.
In the third one, in the bottom corner there is an infantry with blood at his feet being swept to the ground. He is probably dieing...
I have a question if anyone can tell, at first I thought the screenshots were in order, but I cannot recognize any similar terrain. The meteor craters seem to be in different places too... If anyone knows...
