No love for Age of Mythology, anyone?
I admit it wasn't the best, but I still enjoyed what I played of it, at the time...
In like, 2006 or something, that is, lol...
mythology was nice, because the basic units didn't all look exactly the same.
The only real gripe I had was they only used three mythologies (and one of them twice if you count the titans expansion....)
I really dislike the trend of hyper HD full details with teams dedicated to spend months on crafting extremely detailed art on every bit of clothes of all units / character... and then you zoom out to actually play and the units all look similar.
Example : Frostpunk. Looks fantastic! When you want to destroy / rebuild your city, it gets very confusing. So where the fuck is my medical post? My engeneer shop? All buildings look too similar when zoomed out. Absolutely fantastic to look at though.
Abstract example2 : Three female characters with black hair tied in slightly diffrent, very elaborate ways. Took tons of work. Zoom out and they all look the same.
Counter-example : heavy use of brighly-colored hair to help distinguish characters.
I'm not saying they have to be heavily detailed, but some sort of differentiation would be nice. As an example, it's a little weird to have Japanese villagers that look like medieval peasants living in buildings from somewhere in Czechoslovakia, lol. it kinda throws off the immersion a bit is all I'm saying.
