Chinese Mythology is incredibly complicated, and each god is the subject of many legends, many of which are contradictory when studying the Three Sovereigns, we actually found nine different variations of who exactly was part of this group. They were a group of mythological rulers who were said to have ruled over China from roughly 3000–2000 BCE, and were credited with the creation of humanity. These gods are known as the Three Sovereigns.Can you introduce us to the three major gods on the cover art?.And of course, since it’s China, we can’t avoid adding some dragons into the game! The Norse Nidhogg will finally get some company.We took inspiration from Journey to the West, a famous Chinese tale that nowadays is still read by almost every Chinese student… If you know the tale, you can expect some of these characters to pop up, including a white tiger and a fighting monkey.The Chinese change that up, with a cavalry type that counters infantry, ranged units that counter cavalry, and so forth. The typical counter-triangle (or RPS) system is that infantry>cavalry, cavalry>archers, and archers>infantry. As for other units, we’re going to shake up the counter system.The Monk has returned as well! At long last, the joy of converting an elephant army comes to Age of Mythology.These pre-gunpowder archers have repeating crossbows that fire multiple bolts at once! The Chu Ko Nu is the first unit you can’t go without when playing the Chinese.Above that, they have a huge array of gods and goddesses to pick from, and their legends also feature a lot of mythical creatures, which are an essential part of Age of Mythology! Why the Chinese? China has an incredibly rich and extensive history, spanning thousands of years-more than any other empire on earth.Release Date: Age of Mythology: Tale Of The Dragon will release in January 2016!
