I keep making these posts because i am trying to.understand the current meta and hope to confirm or deny my initial feelings about the game. But dont atlanteans SUCK? I never see anyone playing anyone other than cronos rush with prometeans, and when i try to play gaia i get immediately cooked. Also imo japanese suck late game

I want to report cheating players. Check the screenshots. No way they both can have all these god powers at the end. It’s like fire all the time for like 10 minutes! And though I am f*** killing them. The first player is called PolarDeaths and the other is PowerOfDad.

Haven't played for a while and while I really dislike copying strats and build orders from YouTube and instead prefer to come up with my own stuff, it doesn't feel viable in RTS.\

Atleast not in pvp

The combo of using an ayotachli & blood pact is too good. There's often no way to stop it from killing a TC or fort because the unit has so much HP and damage. The fact that this unit it virtually unkillable makes it very un-interactive and makes the only counterplay scouting it in the middle of the map or picking a specific god/Myth unit. (ex frost/frost giant, use bolt)

Example at bottom of Ayotachli killing A citadel in front of an entire army. There is earth monster used but it's just demonstrative and normal opponents use their army when they do this.

Suggestion: Remove or significantly reduce the HP boost for the blood pact unit so you have an incentive/reward to focus the high dps unit down.

Alternatively could try to adjust this Gp so that it's better on Human units/Heroes and less effective on MU, but there is already an interesting dynamic of using it on army vs Eco if you aren't doing this cheese to kill TC.

I played and completed the original age of mythology and titans campaign back when it came out. I tried replaying the original a couple of years ago but it was kind of janky and the AI gets weird on the longer maps. Been looking at the remaster and was wondering if it's worth playing? Is the AI stable for the enemy? Is it tough at all on higher difficulties?

edit: well you guys convinced me I'll keep a look out for a sale or lose patience and buy it tonight. Thanks for the replies!

Hey guys, did you know that in some missions you get some secret improvements for your units even from different cultures? This example here is from mission 12! :)

I'm loving all these custom campaigns coming out.

My faves so far:
Tale of the Dragon
Shadows of the Past
History Retold - The Siege of Athens
The Spirits of Sono

You guys are great, thank you!

1 - Eggy's main problem is definetly scouting. 100 Gold is a hefty price to pay on a slow moving, fragile, useless in combat scout that can be picked off by literally any stray soldier and even MU's. You simply don't have an option and have to play preventive of rushes if your opponent has a strong rush, going into classical, making a barracks and training a spear is way too slow and your only other option is scouting with your free Anubite or Sphinx, still late for the norm. In classical, free tower upgrades definetly mitigated this problem.

2 - Linked to the first problem, Priests are by far the worst hero in the game and it is straight up impossible to win a fight against a lot of Myth Units without Nephtys when they die so easily and cost so much precious gold.

3 - Your God Powers don't do a lot by themselves, you have to use them very conciously in order for them to be good.

4 - You will need some wood in Classical Age in the vast majority of games to research Watch Tower, Husbandry and/or the Sphynx upgrades, but overchopping is useless and you should only get what you need. You don't need slingers, forget that garbage (at least until Heroic).

5 - For Ra and Set, the most important thing to know is if you're gonna go Ptah - Sehkmet based on matchup (and map) at the start of the game or not and plan accordingly.

6 - Chariots are yout best friends and Camels are your enemies. With good micro, CA's win a lot of fights they probably shouldn't, but DO NOT trust Camels to win close fights against other cavalry, mix in spears or you WILL be disapointed.

7 - Upgraded Sphynx is your only good MU option in Classical, making Anubites or Wadjets will extremely rarely be a good investment of your limited favor.

8 - Both Tusks of Apedemak and Book of Thoth are priorities over Valley of Kings (imo) as they don't require Pharaoh duty, don't cost a liver in gold + 40 favor and Elephants are still slow to get going even with VoK, you will very probably need more than a Migdol to actually get your army going and only one of them can benefit from VoK.

9 - There's no need to rush in using your favor, as the 3 MU options you have in Mythic Age are quite good, specially Avenger with Crimson Linen.

10 - Scarabs are way better than they seen, getting your Siege Workshop and Ram of the West Wind is an absolute priority as Sehkmet, it's even worth to empower building and researching the technology as Set for a better timing.

11 - Don't rush for a second TC if it's risky or you don't have information. Make some army and a second monument (or even third) for economy instead of risking so much gold investment then grab your TC when it's safer.

12 - Wall yourself everywhere you can. Yes you are a coward and yes it is worth it.

13 - Make Axemen against Atlantean. They will pump amout destroyers to raid your buildings and Axemen is your only option against them

14 - If you don't play Set to it's limits and use every bonus you have, you will lose.

15 - Against a classical fighting Norse, you have to build all 3 types of human soldiers you have and micro your mind out of it, there's no other option

I think that's it, i hope this helps or intrigues someone enough to correct me!
