Mardi Gras Approaches with New Creatures and New Habitat

Well, I was sorry to see the beautiful St. Valentine's Day creatures vanish from Age of Pyramids and Creatures of Olympus but there are some new additions in both games.



In the Underground in Age of Egypt, we have a new Scorpion/Frog Hybrid called Scorpioheq. Breeding time is 23 hours. (Credit to Shimoo)


In Creatures of Olympus, there is both a new Creature and a new Habitat in the Water Kingdom in the form of the Coral Habitat and the Ancient Turtle who inhabits it.  The cost of the Coral Habitat is 9000,000 Coins.  Evidently, it unlocks at Level 38 because a player who is a member of our Group at Level 30 who does not have the maximum number of habitats yet in the Water Kingdom found it locked with a prompt to the effect that it will unlock at Level 38.  I first bred the Ancient Turtle using a combination that included all four basic types and it took 1 day, 7 hours using a Polipodelphi with a Crayhorse.   I now have discovered the basic combination which is simply Seahorse and Dolphin which means that, provided always the Water Kingdom has been unlocked,  even players at fairly low levels can breed him although you will not be able to house him until you have reached Level 38.   He is quite a feisty character for his advanced age.  He breathes out fireballs and does rolls.

There are advantages and disadvantages to using two hybrids that include all four basic parent types.  The advantage of course is that you have a better chance of hitting the right combination EVERY time you breed.  The disadvantage is really where guide-writing is concerned, as the precise parentage is not established with this method.

The habitat takes 2 days to build and gives 60,000 Experience Points.   It can house two creatures.  You can upgrade it for 80 Diamonds.

St. Valentine's Day in Age of Pyramids and Creatures of Olympus

As of Friday, 17 February, a promotional Creature has been released both in Age of Pyramids and in Creatures of Olympus.  In both games, it is a Love Goddess... in Egypt and in Olympus, it is a creature from the past.  As a 24 hour promotion, you need to purchase her when she remains available and will not be able to breed her.  Once you have her, you should be able to clone her.

As of Friday, 10 February,  new Seasonal Creatures have appeared both in Age of Pyramids and in Creatures of Olympus.  One of these Creatures in each of the games was released first in the past, so is not 'new' to every one.  The other in each game is completely new.
