Age of Mythology: Fall of the Trident - 5. Just Enough Rope

[@Cyrikyty]

When you start a mission with tents, you REALLY want to protect them. They act as additional houses, giving you popspace, without counting towards your cap of 10 houses. They cannot be rebuilt. Dont lose them. Also, in a lot of these missions, the relics are usually positioned in places of minor importance. It's usually indicated by some sort of terrain feature, mostly some ruins or something nearby, and quite commonly at the end of narrow passageways. Just look at the map and think "What looks interesting here?"

[@doragoajeberack6268]

Viper, on some missions you start with tents; they provide 10 population, like houses, but they don't count toward your 10-house limit. You are often limited by population, so you can overrun your enemies if you manage to keep the tents alive and build all your houses as well. But, the tents are easy to destroy.

[@77Relax]

I feel like you're overvaluing their catapults way too much in fights. They are only good vs. buildings, they hardly do any dmg to units. Unlike AoE2.

[@TattooedDancer91]

they do great damage vs myth units though

[@palanikumar7877]

@@TattooedDancer91 Certainly, provided their shots hit them, at long range siege units are highly inaccurate.

[@Cyrikyty]

Hetairoi are Cavalry units unique to Poseidon, Myrmidons are Infantry for Zeus, and Gastraphetes are Archers for Hades. They're all made at the castle. Myrmidons are particularly effective against human units of other civs, Hetairoi are cavalry that does pretty good damage to buildings, and the Gastraphetes are generally useful archers that also do some bonus damage to buildings.

By the way, in some campaigns you have tents or other buildings contibuting to population space, but those tents do not contribute towards house limit. It means as long as you don't lose those tents your population limit is higher. Also in some scenarios you might receive houses later on, so building them before you receive them may contribute to large population space.

[@rob6366]

You can predict that at least 3 relics are in every building up based campagne part. Water that has no sense at all is a really good sign. (in this part on the map left cornor) :P

[@guilhermemarra3099]

pay attention to the attack type. Some units like cyclops and colossus have crush damage, which deals a lot of dmg vs buildings, but units have 99% crush armor. Those units (cyclops and colossus) also have a "hidden" hack damage (right click their images to see their hack damage) which is regular damage and allows them to also be good vs units.

[@NolDragon]

In the options you can set the unit behavior set as a standard as Defensive. That works like the defensive button in AoE. In addition to that you have additional unit controls when you have selected a military unit and than klick on the button (left of the unit portrait) with the two swords and the red arrow on top of them.

[@Sith90lord]

25:04 - Y U NO make castle and upgrade towers ? :D 28:38 -Hetairoi, Myrmidon and Gastraphetes are the unique troops of the greek major gods: Poseidon, Zeus and Hades respectively. Cavalry, infantry, and archer units.

[@peterziaja8666]

hydras can gain heads by destroying walls! keep that in mind cuz like that they dont have to fight anyone to power up

[@evertsw]

About ballistics for units: there is no upgrade for it. Units have a (hidden?) statistic, tracking, that determines how well they can hit moving units. The higher the tracking stat, the faster units they still can hit it with success. As others mentioned, there is a ballistics upgrade for towers and castles, available in the tower.

[@ignacionadeo1306]

I wonder why Viper never gets the upgrades that increase unit production speed, even when he's getting swarmed by large armies.

[@KratosAurion7777]

If you guys are struggling with those chapters in titan difficulty , just make an army of minotaurs/cyclops depending of the chapter , the ennemies will rarely use heroes and they just cost food and favor which are infinite in this game .

[@NolDragon]

Hetairoi, Gastraphetes and Myrmidons are the Fortress special units of the greeks. One per major god, Poseidon gets the Hetairoi (the whole god's theme is cavalry) which is an anti building and villager cavalry. Hades (who helps archers) gets the Gastraphete which is a long range, anti building archer and Zeus (who privileges infantry) gets my favorite of all times, the Myrmidon which is an infantry unit which has a bonus against virtually everything.

[@samiamrg7]

The Hephestus upgrade you couldn’t figure out was for the unique units in the Fortress. Each Greek Major God has a different one: Zeus has an infantry, Hades has a crossbowman (Gastrophetes) and Poseidon has a cavalry.

[@91UnclesRemuses]

Healing is very rare in this game Mr. Viper. But if you pick Apollo you can heal units with your temples.

Why not upgrade your towers so they can actually you know shoot at the enemy, could help a lot specailly when the game start you with 3 of them...

[@WhiterunUK]

Please use the “retrain” button, the green circle. Will retrain the units in the queue in that order until you run out of resources or population, ideal for villagers at the start or military late game. Super helpful and they dont use this in aoe2

[@gonzahf]

Select any military unit, clic on the crossed swords icon (mostly the only icon in the unit menu) so you get advanced unit formation and behaviour..

[@John-jc3ty]

the siege tower is actually useful for taking down buildings. fires arrows but does crushing damage, which is effective against buildings. the colonsus also does crushing damage. you can tell it by the icon next to their attack.

Viper, in case you read this, Hetaroi are unique cav from Poseidon, Myrmidon are unique infantry from Zeus, and Gastraphetes are unique archers from Hades. So all greek players get it and can use it if you choose Hephestus (the god from Mythic Age who gave you the colossus and the Vault). That unique unit is made in the fortress or the adequate military building (academy for you, since you were Zeus and myrmidon is infantry)

Sacrifice your army if it means protecting the tents. Free population cap you can never get back if destroyed. same with cidatel town centers but you won't see those for a while

[@John-jc3ty]

idk why you forgot how to play... but when you attack, while your army holds ground, your catapults should priorize destroying the buildings. otherwise they will spawn forever.

[@evertsw]

The TC has an upgrade that gives your TC's 10 extra population, can be very useful, especially when you have several TCs. Furthermore, I don't know if you noticed already, but a lot of units don't count as just 1 pop, but as 2, 3, or even more, especially myth units.

Myrmidons, gastrophes are the special units that you can only train from fortress. They are good against all types of units except for monster units (Temple units)

No, myrmidons can be made from academy also, and gastraphetes from archery range (for Hades) and Hetaroi from stables (for Poseidon), and they can be good against myth units, but you need that upgrade Viper got but didn't know what it was for, given by Hephestus

For villager's speed right click villager and something like this should appear: Speed 3.6 (+0.4) if I remember correctly. Also myrmidons, hetarois and the gastrawhatever are unique human units given to greeks depending on which god you are using zeus, poseidon and hades respectively. Poseidon sucks but the other two are crazy strong better than any other.

You need to take a look at the counter units. Well the Greek units are rather strait forward each of the 3 military buildings (not counting fortress and temple) protuce the standard line unit and the unit to count the unit that the building would produce. Like the archery range produces Peltast which counter ranged units. The spotlight (in objectives) usually covers one unit type each scenario. That being said archer are still good agiest infantry well Peltasts are only good ageist archer.
