Hi, Well, I changed the story for two reasons.
The first is simply due to the fact the original story didn't really work. As I mentioned back a couple of days ago Athena is primarily one of the good gods, someone who helps and aids heroes and I really felt that it was out of character. After all, most of the principle enemies like skeletons, harpies, zombies, and even Cerberus are from the underworld and are the minions of Hades not Athena. So it had to be scrapped and rewritten anyway. The second reason is I've always had a deep interest in ancient Egyptian mythology and history. Its one of the reasons I fell in love with studying history. A lot of people don't realise while I was majoring in computer science I was working on a minor in history with my focus being the ancient world like Greese, Egypt, Rome, etc. All of the ancient nations who created the foundation for western civilization. So its not that surprising that I'd find a game with an Egyptian theme or connection fun to write and play. Finally, remember I started MOTA in 2008 and continued to update, modify, and test the game as I built the core of the G3D Game Engine. After three years of that I frankly got tired of fighting centaurs, skeletons, zombies, harpies, whatever. I could have revised the original story, but as I was more interested in an Egyptian story I figured I could put the Greek story off for another time. Cheers!
