Exciting Updates on Age of Mythology: Retold – Immortal Pillars Expansion
The development team at Microsoft behind Age of Mythology: Retold has been generating buzz about the upcoming Immortal Pillars expansion ever since the remaster of this beloved real-time strategy game was launched. This expansion promises to enrich the gameplay experience with a new campaign, fresh gods, innovative units, and captivating elements drawn from Chinese mythology. Notably, it will introduce Myth units inspired by legendary figures like the Four Perils and Auspicious Beasts.
Unveiling the New Myth Units
Recently, the developers released a deep dive into the dark side of this expansion, focusing on the intriguing “evil”Myth units set to captivate players.
Meet the Qiongqi
First up is the Qiongqi, a striking unit resembling a tiger with wings, catering to followers of Houtu in the Classical Age. This unit is characterized by its rapid attack capabilities, though it compensates with slower movement speed. To enhance its maneuverability, the Qiongqi possesses a flight ability that allows it to either close the distance on foes or retreat with ease after confrontations.
Introducing the Taotie
Next in line is the Taotie, a Heroic Age unit available to devotees of Nüba. What sets this unit apart is its unprecedented ability to consume human units, growing larger with each meal until it reaches titanic proportions. Additionally, the Taotie employs a devastating fire-breathing ability that scales in intensity based on its feast.
The Goumang and Taowu
Another formidable unit making its debut is the Goumang, represented as the Taowu. This building destroyer rises in the Heroic Age, equipped with the capability to plow through enemy lines, albeit with a notably slow standard movement speed. However, it also features a unique ability that temporarily enhances its speed, allowing it to wreak havoc on enemy fortifications during battles.
The Mythic Age: Hundun
Finally, we have the Hundun, a creature from the Mythic Age associated with Huangdi. This eccentric, faceless entity is characterized by its six legs and four wings, and it boasts two formidable abilities:
The first ability, Chaotic Fear, causes enemy units to scatter in random directions. If that’s not enough chaos, its second ability, Banish, engulfs all units within a conical area, transporting them to a void for a brief period, where they return battered and disoriented.
What’s Next?
Following this thrilling revelation of the Four Perils of Immortal Pillars, players can expect the development team to unveil the heroic Myth units in the coming week.
