Same here :(((

Next episode is already available for Members! PROSTAGMA

[@bowmaster898]

really enjoying the series dude thanks :)

[@TheViperAOE]

Description of the video! ;)

[@ANGST.ARGENTINA]

EXPLORE MORE. YOU ARE MISSING LOTS OF STUFF.

[@danielhermanus6909]

Prostagma Viper!

[@souradipsanyal1608]

You missed the big siege tower... That should have help.. Also... Please check out the spotlights, they have helpful info

[@Vyrthor]

Hydras can grow heads destroying buildings as well, they grow 1 head after they destroyed 3 units or buildings.

[@danielhermanus6909]

1 Prostagma

[@Vyrthor]

Volume

[@Ajoo124]

Yeah, you can cheese the game a little bit by using the hydras to destroy the walls after you secured the area. Having multiple 5 head hydras is a big boost to your army.

[@xotl2780]

This mission is a little bit bugged, especially in the Steam edition. All those brown and green units (the scarabs and militia that is) are meant to have a trigger that turns them to your side or the bad guys as you progress, but for some reason it doesn't always work. This mission has a lot of little secrets, too. At least four relics and even a plenty vault are hidden on the map in case someone wants to find them.

[@FallingDownAyar]

Not just the Steam version. I played it when it first came out and those Scarabs never did anything.

[@unfig3034]

I distinctly remember having trouble with units not converting to my side when I played years ago too. This map just seems really buggy.

[@ViralThing]

Difficulty settings play a role as well.

[@goatb5369]

*Giant insects wander into view* "OOOH! CRAB!"

[@ivanfloresvazquez7490]

You made an upgrade at 14:45 that affects human units, building and ships, when pretty much all your army was myth units, heroes and siege, so maybe one more hydra would have been better, as you said, haha

[@somedude8071]

@neah Still, one Hydra is probably more useful than a mild upgrade on two units, or 3 if you count the other random human unit who dies shortly after.

[@DerpDerpDerpDerp]

15:00 Notice the minimap as the Hydra just casually walks up the hill

[@FallingDownAyar]

A fun, somewhat exploit-ish thing to do in this level is to have each hydra destroy the wall "corners" and gain heads from doing that. You can end up with up to four five-headed hydras by the time you siege the fortress.

[@therealsosi8204]

15:30 *Hydra glitches into a mountain* WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE

[@ollietortex]

PROSTAGMA

[@thurandyl3203]

"We have champion hiphoplite now" Viper bringing 50 cent in now? Nice flub of words xD

[@migueeeelet]

9:53 if you check a unit's details (right click), you can see what upgrades they have at the moment, including relic and god power effects (and their numeric values!)

[@monkeysuperiority]

How quickly you forget the wisdom of the Wallace campaign, Biper- "Remember, keep scouting the map!"

[@acidGoatG]

if you have only 1 half-dead hoplite remaining and a lot of myth units, then it usually doesnt worth to buy the infantry weapon upgrade i guess *edit: i was wrong, captlaserrage told me it affects heroes too.

[@MikeHesk742]

I think it effects heroes too?

[@acidGoatG]

@@MikeHesk742 edited, thx for correction.

[@agustinurrutia6095]

still not worth it

[@Ausogiea]

Destroying buildings does give Hydras more heads, when I was a kid I used to cheese them by tasking them to attack enemy walls in parts of the map I'd already cleared. From memory it takes between 2-4 kills for a hydra to gain a new head.

[@UvReflexes]

Age of Bugs. lol'd hard at the hydra peacing out to go mountain climbing. That wasn't nearly as painful as you leaving the siege tower behind at the start though...

[@ironwar1863]

15:25 you heard of elf on a shelf. Now get ready for hydra on a cliff

[@NolDragon]

Them units getting stuck like that never happened to me in 15 years of playing the game. XD How do you do that Biper ?

[@Mysteriousman232]

Probably one of the extended editions "features" I guess.

[@dillimore]

@@Mysteriousman232 I've also picked up the EE recently and the whole pathing seems to be a pain, I can't remember it being that bad when I played back in the day. So you might have a point.

[@ShirosTamagotchi]

happened to me at the exact same spot when i was a child

[@NolDragon]

The only times I remember are when Ajax, a minotaur or the shockwave godpower made an unit fly in these kind of spots !

[@somedude8071]

@@dillimore Honestly, replaying a lot of older games as an adult has made me realize that old games kinda suck. They're fun for their nostalgia value, but generally they're quite prone to bugs, and their mechanics are lacking in terms of responsiveness and feeling natural. Not saying old games aren't great, and most were for their time but being quite honest I feel like most of us are just seeing these games through rose tinted glasses.

[@NoobNoOne1]

dear viper, I love these AOM videos, you also missed a ton of stuff. Keep up the great work

[@steelfoam2518]

Weapon and armor upgrades are 10% each. Relics that boost those are 5% each. Greek heroes are usually 7x damage to myth units. Priests 9x, pharaoh 5x, hersirs 6x and jarls 4x. Counter units vary from 2x (usually ranged) to 4x (melee infantry) damage. Damage is usually given as dps (some ranged myth units are an exception). Some units have more than one attack style (like hack + crush). In that case the damages are added. Replayed the campaign now after about 15 years, this time on titan, and checked up those beforehand.

[@potatoesstarch2376]

You know. Very distantly. I remember the VERY FIRST time I played this map, it was also a little buggy. Nothing like what you got. but a little. I'm a few weeks late unfortunately but, EXPLORE you dingus. These maps are great. One of the best parts of AOM. Missing out on them to just bumrush the game is like... missing half the campaign, really.

[@Reluxthelegend]

Still not checking the spotlight I see...

[@giannisgiannis870]

3:30 the centaur go in to the prison,he pass the black wall.

[@BrumEldar]

The amnesia of theviper is amazing 😂😂

[@danielhermanus6909]

I'm missing a very important thing in the comment section... All Hail King DauT!

[@kalamsv3294]

lol i loved the glitchedd out hydra i mean in general this misión got super glitchy for you, still it was even more entertaining

[@joshuathompson8132]

I'll be very impressed if Vipey beats number 9 first try

[@Fandommember]

To bad you didnt have the siege tower you left behind.

[@MrThomasappel]

I cant wait until “Timperswit”

[@Kasdeya-]

7:00 Blind LUL

[@pierrez8570]

What you can do for micro is also to try to micro the centaurs, who have a special attack where they take longer to fire but deal extra damage (the first arrow). When all are targetting the same unit they overkill it and then "waste" that attack.

[@rgfrank1668]

I am sure someone has already mentioned it but hydra's do gain heads from destroying buildings. They need 2 kills per head I believe (regardless of what they kill, although maybe not wall segments etc)

[@giannisgiannis870]

10:30 I have not see never a dinosaur with 4 heads..

[@diegomiguez2235]

Prostagma?

[@johnapple6646]

Can't wait for the Egyptian part, it's my favourite of this whole campaign

[@JoshSweetvale]

Osiris being reborn is the best moment in the campaign. "Rejoice. For very bad things are about to happen." ^,_,^

[@juanlavueltaenlacara4121]

Viper, te olvidaste al principio esa torre de asedio que se mueve, y fue muy chistoso el bug de los escarabajos!!! jajakjajka

[@IsaaX2]

So many glitches in this mission. Oh well, it make its funnier :)

[@marcdedouvan]

You didn't see for now the awesome sea snakes ( Jormund Elver ageofempires.fandom.com/wiki/Jormund_Elver ) and Nidhogg dragon: best units in game (in my humble opinion).

[@PhilBushay]

hydras gain a head for every set amount of units they destroy. if they got one every time they'd have like 600 heads by the end lol.

[@eldritchemissary4718]

The bandits are coming!

[@jeroen92]

Armory upgrades don't affect myth units.

[@masters5312]

I have 30+ hours in my AoM steam copy and if you asked me if it had any bugs/glitches I would have said no until I watched this video

Just not gonna ask why you didn't use the Helepolis at all

Totally for the extra challenge and not that I didn't realize

also killing animals will grow heads, you just need more than 1

Biper killing his own snaky brothers. So sad.

scarab is pronounced scare-ub if you were curious.

Hi, you forgot to use your helepolis.

[@jonastas6387]

with wich button can you pause the game?

[@ElSayyidCampeador]

There is no proper pause button but going into the menu or the in game descriptions of units will pause the game

You forgot to use the heliopolis, gg however :)

Hey Viper, the audio is still a bit too low...

[@TheViperAOE]

Sound is fine for me, and I'm at 30% windows sound. When I'm recording the volumes on my recording program is always maxed out as well, so it's weird that you would find the audio low.
