The ES Q&A and prize giveaway that went on earlier today was extremely successful. Matt "matty" Scadding, Nicolas "Moongoat" Currie, Brian "Vega" Dellinger, and even Kevin "The Sheriff" Holme all answered tons of questions asked by AoMH's forumers for around around 45 minutes. 175 posts were made in those 45 minutes, and the vast majority of them were replied to by the awesome ES guys.
On top of that, they also handed out a whole bagful of prizes; including t-shirts and even copies of The Titans. I'd like to extend my personal thanks to all of the guys that helped out in answering the questions and to ES for giving out the prizes, all of AoMH really appreciates it!
Matei: "What were the changes to the Wadjet or Ptah in general? It looks like Anubis and Bast are more useful now unless you have a nice use for Shifting Sands."
Matty: "wadjets are crazy good at 3 pop. The biggest change is to shifting sands. Remember before how just a few of your units would be grabbed with shifting sands, well now it grabs them all and can place them all in a space the size of a thimble, it really is quite good."
alpine: "What was the inspiration behind the choice of the Alanteans as the third culture?"
The Sheriff: "Some of the big motivations for choosing Atlantis were that we felt it was a great story for our single player campaign. Also we wanted to give the artists some more freedom for creating some really cool looking units."
alpine: "Has the ES staff already have good ideas of what strategies will be popular with the atlateans? Or, is it a mystery? :-)"
TheMoonGoat: "Yes, we have a very good idea on what will be used but the community can always suprise you on coming up with something you'd never think about."
ESisthebest: "How does ES make such good games? Is there much more usability of myth units in the titans than AoM?"
Vega: "Lots of hard work and dedication, and lots of beef jerky. Actually that was one of our main concerns in the Xpack. We wanted lots and lots of MU's, its really fun now with so many MU's on the screen. Basically we slashed all MU costs across the board."
Want to read all of the questions and answers? Well, just head on down to the forum thread! Keep your eyes on the AoMH forums for more posts by the ES dudes, they might be spotted answering more questions in other threads!
