Well, initially on opening this week's screenshot I must admit I found it not very exciting.
This selection of the screenshot pretty well sums up all the action. And as far as I can see, there's only two things worth looking at. a) The greek foot units all have something going on with flames. b) The Egyptian guy on the right appears to be shooting lightning. Let me elaborate: If you didn't recognise them already, the two Greek foot units are Hypaspists and Hoplites; here's a better view of them, if you want to compare their weapons to those in the picture: At first it seemed the units in question were on fire, whether as the result of the lightning-guy on the right or something completely different, I don't know. On closer inspection, however, I noted that this was not the case. Note how the flames on the Hypaspists Clearly, the weapons are on fire. My reasoning is that it is either a Myth upgrade or a god power. I am thinking Myth upgrade, because the horsemen in the picture do not show the same flames around their swords. So, it is more likely to be an Infantry specific upgrade, as logic dictates. Well, that's the first issue; easily enough concluded. I'll be surprised if anyone puts forward a suggestion that refutes my idea there. (Call me vain if you will. It's hard to make out anything, but he seems to be wearing an animal like headdress of some kind and a red body garment. It's clearly not any unit we have seen so far. Certainly not a Pharoah as I mistakenly assumed at first. (The units in the background, are, of course, priests.) The screenshot's title 'Son of osiris' lends itself to the mystery of this unit. The Son of Osiris, is, of course; Horus. And Horus is more commonly known in Egyptian mythology as the Avenger, and indeed Horus's MU in AoM is the Avenger, a nasty melee unit with a spinning attack. So then I put forward to you, Suggestions would be appreciated. [This message has been edited by TheShadowDawn (edited 03-19-2002 @ 11:04 AM).]
