Mythic age Aztec gods!
Greetings fearful jaguar knights!
At last! After a couple of months, we bring news from the gods!
Today we will share with you the Aztec minor gods that will be available to advance into the Mythic Age.
Just note that some god powers are not enabled in the current game version, those will be worked at the very end, and so for now you will only see the current god power ideas that we plan them to have. The gods’ art shown is not the final version, we don’t have our own art ready for any of the 4th Age minor gods, and so the current art is just for reference but will be ultimately changed once we get one of our own.

Looks epic mate, can't wait for the release.
Thanks! You won't have to wait long for that 😉
Excellent
Amazing as always! The Tlaloque looks really cool! Fiery and multiplying serpents are gonna be hella fun to use
Thanks! Tlaloque is also on of my favorite units! :)
Just out of curiosity, will you be able to select these new gods as opponents for the AI, or only for players?
At first only for players but there will eventually be Aztec AI.
Very very cool! However, don't you think fire serpents and Yahui are too similar?
It'd be cool to have a feathered serpent unit...
they are kind of similar but they aren't identical, they feel their own thing, they have different roles and palystiles.
About Quetzalcoatl, we had planned to give a feathered serpent to Quetza's Tlatoani Nahual, but that's an idea that might be removed is not certain now. In any case, there might be a feathered serpent for Kukulkan once we give out more info on the Mayans ;)

Good work.
Los nuevos dioses se ven excelentes! Sin embargo, tengo una pregunta. ¿Por qué se puede acceder a Coatlicue solo por medio de Huitzilopochtli mientras que cualquiera de los tres dioses pueden acceder a Tlaloc? ¿Es por un motivo relacionado con la mitología o con las estrategias de cada dios? Pregunto por curiosidad.
Hola es más bien por motivo de la mitología, Tlaloc es uno de los dioses más importantes del panteón mesoamericano, incluso al comienzo del proyecto pensabamos ponerlo como un 4to dios mayor azteca. Finalmente decidimos seguir el estilo del AoM con 3 dioses mayores pero quisimos darle a Tlaloc un papel predominante como dios mayor disponible para todos los dioses. Además por motivos de estrategia, Tlaloc vuelve viables a todos los dioses en mapas acuáticos, y también tiene buenos bonus en mapas no acuáticos.
