I don't play Age of Mythology but that was a fun and intense watch. Maybe a bit anticlimactic. Those Colossus units are brutal.

Oh nice! I'm curious as someone who doesn't play, what was it that made you decide to watch it at all? Do you play AoE2 or 4, or some other RTS? Or it just showed up in your feed and sheer curiosity?
Honestly, it was the clickbaity title :)
But also it was a good reason to see the remake. I played a bit of AoM back in the day, but didn't really click with the Age games. I like RTS games though, mostly C&C and Warcraft. I loved Rise of Nations, which feels very similar to the Age games.
Ha! Glad the title worked. I normally abhor clickbait, so I spent a while trying to come up with a title that got across how utterly incredible it felt to watch this game (I was watching it live on Survivalist's stream, and then switched over to Boit's which was on a 30 minute delay), while being accurate and telling you what you were going to see. I thought I managed to get both of those better than the official title on YouTube, which is simultaneously both less sensational and less informative IMO.
I played a bit of Warcraft 3 a few years back. Never played any other games in the franchise, but 3 was really fun while I was playing it. I played Night Elves mainly, but dabbled a few times in Undead. Unfortunately never played any Rise of Nations or Empire Earth, but both of those are games I'd really love to see a Definitive Edition of; I'd definitely try them out if that came out. One of those would be 2nd on my list of desired game remasters, just behind Battle for Middle-Earth 2.
I was watching Survivalist stream this live, and then switched over to also watch Boit's stream on a 30 minute delay. It may very well be the most intense 1v1 game of Age of Mythology we'll ever see...or at least it's up there. It certainly does a fantastic job of showing off what makes Retold an excellent remake.
