Description

Welcome to the Freyr God Pack, a new type of expansion for Age of Mythology: Retold. Challenge friends with a new Major God, Freyr, and three new Minor Gods: Ullr, Aegir, and Vidar, and leap into battle with their new god powers, myth units, and technologies! Battle your way across the frozen North in an exclusive mythical battle scenario, crushing your opponents with the wrathful power of your new gods!

4 New Gods
Freyr - The Norse major god of fertility and kingship, Freyr’s focus is defensive and technological rather than aggressive. Freyr’s god power is Gullinbursti, which temporarily summons Freyr’s magical giant golden boar to defend a Town Center.

Ullr - The Classical Age Norse god of oaths and archery, Ullr improves your defenses and Longhouse units. Ullr’s god power, Asgardian Bastion, allows you to erect a powerful Hill Fort-like fortification one age earlier than usual. His myth unit is the Draugr, an undead archer whose arrows penetrate multiple targets.

Aegir - The Heroic Age Norse god of the sea and storms, Aegir boosts your myth units and siege weapons. Aegir’s god power, Tempest, calls down a vicious hailstorm that damages and greatly slows down enemy units. His myth unit is the Rock Giant, a towering personification of stone who crushes and even devours buildings.

Vidar - The Mythic Age Norse god of vengeance and resilience, Vidar favors your human soldiers and heroes. Vidar’s god power, Inferno, unleashes a fiery path of destruction that incinerates all in its path. His myth unit is Fafnir, the infamous wingless dragon of Norse legend, who envelops enemies in fire and poisonous fumes.

1 New, Fully Voiced Mythical Battle
Reginleif’s Rally — As his plans in Egypt unravel, Gargarensis travels north and rallies the giant clans to attack the Norse of Alfheim. Surrounded on all sides, the beleaguered Norsemen make a final stand and prepare to die valiantly when the Valkyrie Reginleif suddenly arrives to lead the defense. Will she inspire these hardy people to an unlikely victory, or will Freyr’s realm fall to the ravages of frost and flame? In this mission, you will worship the god Freyr.

This is very bad because it mean this new god had access to three special gods that other norse will not have access with 3 myth units special for him ... it kinda break the joy to play the old norse gods because they roster are more spread between the three other gods. In the past only Zeus have a unit that other gods can not create (medusa) now a god have THREE ! this is for me a very bad design for force people to buy the god pack.

Nice to see it's more than one new god, I do hope that some minor gods will find their way to other major Norse gods however.

Maybe each major god could have three options of ageing up in one of the ages instead of two. That way Odin, Thor and Loki could all get access to one additional minor god.

Odd that all four of the new gods are male though.

This is nice.. I hope they add other gods to other mythologies too... Maybe future expansions?

I'm 100% sure at some point the devs will continue adding more minor gods, and increase the selection of minor gods from 2 to 3, so 1 minor god is always missing for a major god that you can select if you played another major god.

Freyr is extremely based. Sadly not a femboy like he was in the actual mythology, nor a redhead to match Freya, as her twin brother.

i wonder if these new gods have 2 portrait of just one
(one that fits the original style and one the style of the retold portraits)

but its good to see these dlc be more than 1 god with reused bits(the story mission is a great addition i feel

True, the story mission added is good. Reginleif was really underused in the original story so more of her is always great.
She was the only Norse hero among the protagonists and was only in like 2-3 missions. Did not return for the Atlantis campaign either.

Vidar would be a good fit for Odin. He is one of his sons and avenges him.

Since it's based on legitimate mythologies, that will likely be the theme unless they decide to add a Northern American civ or another culture with a female major god. You got the Atlantean's Gaia though.

This is interesting stuff.
Adding new gods, especially if they keep doing it for all pantheons, has a lot of potential if done right

Im not a big fan of needing to buy a new major god day 1?
It seems scuffed.
its a bad sign imo.
Granted AOE does this stuff so I think they are extending that to this game to make more money off of it.

why are people complaining about getting new content?
if you don't want to pay for new gods, then just play the original.
what exactly were you expecting?
and on top of that, its optional. you dont have to pay for the premium edition, and you dont have to play the new gods.

I hope we get more gods and cultures in the expansions.

because things are poor balanced as it is
and adding new gods that are also gonna be poorly balanced isn't a good idea?
