Created this account so I could create the community. Decided on lemm.ee because my main account is on aussie.zone, which does not allow community creation (and limits its communities to things about Australia). Figured lemm.ee is better than lemmy.world due to the latter’s performance/federation issues.
I didn’t know they were making a new Age of Mythology game! That’s awesome!
It’s not so much a new game as a remaster of the old game. Back in like 2016 they announced they were making Age of Empires 4 and also “Definitive Editions” of 1, 2, and 3. The DEs came out in 2018, 2019, and 2020, and AoE2 and 3 DE were both really good and successful. Then a couple of years ago they announced Age of Mythology was getting a similar treatment. It came out for people who ordered the Premium Edition last Wednesday, and releases to the general audience tomorrow. So far it’s been a massive success critically both in mainstream gaming press and with Age players.
edit: AoE2 DE did a fantastic job of unifying disparate communities. Before it, most low-level casuals played on the 2013 HD edition and most high-level and pro players played on Voobly with fan patches based on the original CD version of the game. After DE, everyone plays DE. The same seems to be coming true for AoM. Previously there was a split between Voobly and the 2014 “Extended Edition” (which also included some very controversial patches around 2016 to coincide with an equally-controversial expansion DLC). But already it seems as though people are embracing the “Retold” edition of the game, whether casual or pro.
I’m confused, isn’t that just a two-step version of the link I provided?
Mbin and others might have issues with Lemmy created links
But shouldn’t the plain !aom@lemm.ee be enough? Not sure about the link above, I’ve seen original lucifer post those before, never really investigated why
the target community may not exist with a direct link as youve posted.
when you push it through what seems to be a universal search url: /search?q=!community @ host . tld, it forces the remote host to create the community should it not already exist.
Oh wow, I didn’t even realise you could do relative links like that in Lemmy.
It’s a shame post IDs aren’t globally unique so you could do something like that with individual posts.

As you can search for posts and find them in a similar way, that could actually work
Yeah sort of, but it’s not quite as convenient as me being able to take lemm.ee/post/41243313 and change it to aussie.zone/post/41243313. Obviously, for that to work, the IDs would have to be non-sequential: probably the easiest/dumbest way to do it would be with UUIDs, which are pretty massive to use in a URL, so I don’t really blame the designers for doing it how they did. But it would be nice.

Indeed, I’m just used to refresh if it’s the case, after the refresh the community is there. Interesting to see a link that does that on its own
