Unofficial community tool · Age of Mythology: Retold
Obelisk is a CaptureAge-style live spectator overlay for AoM: Retold. Both players' resources, army value, unit composition, upgrades, ELO and eAPM — on a clean broadcast bar, rendered over the game or straight into OBS.
Retold gives observers a resource header and nothing else. Obelisk reads the live match and puts the rest of the story on the bar.
Food, wood, gold and favor with the number of workers gathering each, villager population, idle workers, and a rolling worker-efficiency figure. Click any resource to flip the whole bar between current stockpiles and match totals.
What each player has on the field, priced from the game's own unit costs — with favor weighted, because it arrives an order of magnitude slower than it is spent. Beside it, army killed divided by army lost, so a fight's outcome is a number before the dust settles.
Every unit each player owns, drawn with the game's own icons and counts, in a strip under their panel. The whole registry is read each poll — not a hand-picked shortlist — so a surprise composition shows up the moment it exists.
Weapons, armor, shields and ballistics beside gold, wood, farming and the fortified town center — each slot showing the highest tier researched, named and drawn exactly as that civilisation names it.
ELO, rank, country flag and Steam avatar resolve automatically from the aomstats.io leaderboard. Drop portraits named by in-game alias into one folder and a tournament is configured once, not per match.
Effective actions per minute per player, read from the recording the game itself writes — not guessed from memory deltas. Works in live matches and in replays.
A chart panel with every tracked stat over the whole match, age-ups marked with the game's own age icons — for the "how did we get here" beat between fights.
A centre badge carrying the match clock, your tournament's logo and the best-of series score. It replaces Retold's own scoreboard, which the bundled mod collapses.
Both surfaces render the same components through the same state hook — only the transport differs, so your stream can never drift from what you are looking at.
A click-through canvas that snaps to the game's client area and follows it as it moves or resizes, in windowed and borderless modes. It hides when the game is not the foreground window and returns when it is — so it never floats over whatever you alt-tabbed to.
The same overlay served over loopback. Add one browser source, paste the URL, and you are done — the page has a transparent background, so it composites straight over your game capture with no chroma key and no scene gymnastics.
http://127.0.0.1:37401/overlayOptional: install the bundled clean-spectator mod from the control panel in one click. It collapses Retold's own spectator header so Obelisk's bar replaces it instead of stacking on top of it. Nothing is written to your game folder without that click.
The honest answer, because you are right to ask before running a tool that reads a game's memory.
Obelisk calls ReadProcessMemory against AoMRT_s.exe and nothing else. There is no write path in the code, no DLL injection, no code patching, and no debugger is ever attached to the game. It cannot modify your match even by accident.
Retold exposes no sanctioned live-data channel — XS scripting has no file I/O, there is no local telemetry API, and the built-in observer UI publishes nothing externally. External read-only access is the only route to live data that exists.
Obelisk is built for casters and observers, who already have full vision of the match. It is not a fog-of-war tool, and the shipped build is gated so that it reads in observer and replay contexts.
The memory helper has a calibration mode with general inspection commands, used for finding offsets during development. It is compiled out of release builds entirely — the binary you download has no such commands and speaks only the app's own gated protocol. It can read the handful of routes the overlay needs and nothing else.
Obelisk is an unofficial community tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by Microsoft, Xbox Game Studios, World's Edge or Forgotten Empires. Age of Mythology is a trademark of its respective owners. Use it at your own discretion.
Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. v1.0.4.
There is no installer — it is a single executable. Put it anywhere and double-click it; removing it is deleting the file. Windows SmartScreen will likely warn on first run, because the build is not code-signed: click More info → Run anyway.
It is built for observing and casting. The shipped build reads in observer and replay contexts — it is not a tool for gaining information in your own ranked games, and it is not designed to be one.
Only for the transparent in-game overlay — exclusive fullscreen takes over the display and paints over any external overlay, which is a Windows compositing rule rather than an Obelisk limitation. The OBS browser source has no such constraint and works in any mode.
Game patches move memory addresses. Obelisk keeps every offset in a versioned config resolved by signature scanning, so a patch is answered with a new build rather than a rewrite — usually a quick turnaround. Until then the overlay degrades honestly: readouts that cannot be trusted collapse instead of showing stale numbers, and names, gods, ELO and the series score keep rendering so a broadcast survives.
Every player in the match is reported. The broadcast bar is laid out for the two-player case; larger games are readable, but the bar is at its best in 1v1.
Yes. The centre badge takes an uploaded logo, and portraits are image files named by in-game alias dropped into one folder — ship it once for the event and the streamer configures nothing per match. Players without an image fall back to their Steam avatar, then to initials.
No telemetry and no account. The only outbound requests are to the public aomstats.io leaderboard dump for ELO and country data, and to Steam for avatar images.
Windows only. The overlay reads a Windows game process through Windows APIs, so there is no meaningful port.
