A look back: Beach Landing


Today's screenshot is the first weekly screenshot ES released which shows Age Of Mythology at a very primitive state. Player colors haven't been implemented yet so all units appear white.
-SEA UNITS-
Transport ship: Still with no team colors, you notice there is a villager coming on it. Adding on from my previous posts, an interview with bruce Shelley revealed that infantry units on a boat will cause the ship to have oars which makes it move faster.

Leviathan: Since most sea units were large at the time, the leviathan was as well. It looks pretty much like now except with dark green skin. Later in production, the leviathan was sized down like every other sea unit tough it's green texture was kept but changed somewhere along the way.
-MYTH UNITS-
Anubite: Much taller back then, the anubite originally had a tail which was taken out when it was completely redone. The anubite was changed a short while after this so only a few screenshots show him.
-OTHER-
Floating bodies: On the shore two strange bodies of villagers are floating on the shore. It is unknown whether this was a prop of some sort or that dead bodies would float on water after dying, it is most likely the second one.
