[@Kaj1gga]

Excellent guide. One thing I would emphasise is the often underestimated power of Lush. You can research Channels (at the temple) as soon as you have the gold after starting to research the 2nd age. This improves movement speed of all your units so is both a combat and econ bonus. As lush also heals your units and buildings, ideally, you want it everywhere. Lush radiates out from Manors, Econ Guild and markets even more than before. In the early stages position houses to maximise the spread - e.g. when going to the 2nd hunt Econ Guilds are ridiculously cheap (30 W, 9 G) and quick to build (15s), so spam those all over the map to add LOS to the benefits of your Lush carpet. I like to put them down on the primary routes between my base and theirs so your reinforcements come in faster. Then you can set up a Caladria "field Hospital" behind your battle lines so damaged units can easily retreat, heal up , before charging back in to the fray. Remember that Caladria can slow units giving chase and yours move faster so you save a TON of resources by recycling damaged units rather than building new ones.

[@Mathilde_Moksha_333]

Yes! Another good tip I heard the other day is to put lush on caravan's route to speed up their gold production at the market :D

[@Verdigri]

I like Hecate better because you can put the Tartarus gate on the opponent farms, destroy instantly several farms and threaten their TC. They have to take care of it, which usually means you can push some strategic position with your army. + in 2v2, it synergize well with Fimble winter, you get the vision of the wolves and you can add even more pressure on one opponent. And for Hecate's upgrades, the myth unit regeneration and speed buff is amazing to keep your titan alive ; even if the opponent has one, they can't really kill yours unless they focus him with their full army, which means you can push somewhere with your own soldiers.

[@matthiasvancauteren3107]

Added bonus of tartarus gate: You can place it under enemy buildings and it will instantly destroy them. Yes, this also includes fortresses. Obviously not on TC, titan gates or wonders though

[@AMDGBananaBen]

Great guide as always Magic! One thing I'm experimenting with the buffs is using the Hespiredes tree for some extra utility, for example taking a few vills to a hunt. You spawn the tree then while they gain resources nearby, have the spawned Dryads kill the hunt to maximise your time =D Saves time getting to that faster heroic transition Edit: Even better that since the tree also heals myth units, you can use it as a pseudo command post to harass the opponent (with the risk of them taking over the tree if you get overwhelmed).

[@IamMagicAOM]

Ohh interesting!

[@theowlogram888]

I would never try using the tree forward if I'm not sure it will let me win quick because someone tried that against me but I won the fight and stole the thing, so basically it cancelled his god power since we both had 5 dryads.

[@AMDGBananaBen]

@@theowlogram888 Yes it depends on the situation, having some military support nearby will help stop that from happening (like you said, not giving someone else the tree is good lol) Having the Dryads spawn instantly though could make some harder fights more in your favour especially if you have some Myth units to make use of the passive regen of the tree.

Hey nice video have been waiting for this a long time. Although I am not gonna be playing Gaia until they fix the bugged Theia tech for the contarius (currently gives -30% instead of -15% reducing the cost of contarius down to 70 resources total). I have been getting into Hades a bit and I am wondering if you could do a video covering defensive play since it seems to be the most difficult to pull off at the moment with everyone going 1TC aggro all the time. I enjoy macroing and feels like 2TC is so much pain to play and have fun with since I am not sure how to transition to the offensive from a 2TC. Feel like something regarding defensive could cover so many gods like Ra, Zeus, Hades, Gaia, Thor and Freyr

[@IamMagicAOM]

Good man

[@bruvkek4629]

what do you think about 4:20 advance where 4 initial vills go to hunt then 2 wood and 2 gold? much less walking time if going for 2nd tc

[@IamMagicAOM]

Yep that’s a good option too, but it can be risky vs some civs, for example Greek can have the centaur at your base with a hero at your gold mine and you might be in some trouble, so I guess the answer is that it depends on the matchup

[@QuanMalgol]

Anyway concerning Gaia herself... WOULD

[@TT-ov4yb]

What do think about getting volcanic forge and titan shield to get super tanky destroyers ? I think it’s more for team games late game but it was so satisfying using them against Greek archers !

[@IamMagicAOM]

That would actually be a cool idea !

[@DirtdoingThings]

i really like Age 3 minor gods for Gaia. Was only playing Kronos but now i cant stop playing Gaia. Atlanteans ftw

[@neworldfool9625]

Automaton I feel just needs some minor tweaking to really cement it as a scary defensive or invasive force. It’d be interesting to see if they could almost be changed to actually being defined as a siege unit since they’re constructs much like Hades’ Major God ability. I get why they’re myth units, but it would be interesting to see what would happen if they were treated more as counter-siege siege units that are also weaker to siege lmao Would carve their place as a good early defense mechanism but also fairly easy to pick off in late games when falling behind or abusing for offense.

[@neworldfool9625]

Mythic Counter-Siege Siege unit just to clarify. Atlantean usually has trouble with Norse by design and taking away hersir’s ability to deal with them or Greek hero’s would be a bit much maybe. Though I honestly just wanna see more creative uses for defensive walls and towers with Atlanteans. We don’t get pokey towers for free like Egypt.

[@tanka2d]

Are the tooltips busted for Rheia's Gift? It says the favor cost of Secret of the Titans is increased by 100% but when I checked in a match it seemed to be the usual 50 favor. If the tech does indeed increase the cost of Secrets of the Titans, I'm not sure how I feel about that trade off. I guess it's fine in 1v1 as you rarely see Titans there.

[@IamMagicAOM]

ah that's interesting, i'll have to check that next time I get to my pc

[@Mathilde_Moksha_333]

It's a clunky way to say that the favor cost stays the same for gate of the titans. All upgrades get 100% favor cost removed, but also titan's gate gets +100%, meaning the math is 50 - (100% x 50) + (100% x 50) = 50 - 50 + 50 = 50... A better tooltip would just say "favor cost removed from all technologies except gate of the titans", that would be waaaay less clunky! 😂

[@oMirosTouMoukoudi]

Thanks a lot for the guide. One question, at the beginning, isn’t it better for the gold villager to build the manor immediately after he spawns? That way he gets more time mining with the pickaxe researched rather than building the manor while the pickaxe has already been researched.

[@IamMagicAOM]

Yep! Great point absolutely right

[@itswakkowarner]

Nothing funnier in Retold than a malding Gaia.

[@theowlogram888]

Is it just me or chieroballistas are so painful to use? Like I had a tendency to make them a lot against norse because they have bonus damage against everything they can make except raiding cavalry, but they train so slowly, and they die so much faster to raiding cavalry than they kill infantry so it's so hard to keep them alive even with a meatshield, and they are so innacurate at range they kill throwing axemen slower than said TA kill my meatshield. So now I just spam murmillos and just enough turmas to harass the enemy axemen. (btw in the thumbnail if I'm not mistaken the units have the old version's graphics that's funny)

[@IamMagicAOM]

[@professirsyko]

This was close to what I was thinking about asking you- is there a chance you could do a guide(s) on mid/late-game with a focus on the military side of things? A lot of guides I've been finding since picking up Retold (Havent played AoM since I was a kid so trying to learn everything at once) are focused on build orders and getting to heroic age fast. I've been able to incorporate that well enough, but I find I'm usually getting beat out around the 20min mark, since even though my economy is fine, my military seems to be lacking and I get rolled by superior numbers. I've been trying to main Ra but getting more luck with Odin, if that helps at all (Though my issue seems to be consistent regardless of civ, always around 20 minutes I'm feeling the burn no matter how many mil buildings I have pumping out units). I also feel it's more of a macro issue than micro, as when it comes to the actual fight I can usually hold my own and work with the counter system, I just end up getting whittled down over consistent fighting. Thank you very much, keep up the great videos!

Would appreciate a quick response ;)

[@gabrielgoulart7553]

@@arturhazel4568 -normally the contarius insane dps plus micro in the arcus can take the heroes down fast, the only thing hard is vs Greeks attacks early on, because you will depend on the 2 free dryads and the bird to defend until arcus and contarius come up. - yes, contarius hero is insane to chase enemy myth units when you are stronger, and arcus heroes can hold really well if you are forced to a defensive position - Normally the problem in this build is holding the game against strong early aggression, you don’t have free towers like the egypts, but you advance quicker and when you start spawning contarius/ arcus you will overwhelm pretty much every army without the need of a aggressive god power.

You pick Poseidon, do the usual centaur stuff, get to enjoy the fact you have actual cav and archers in age 2, then if you don't get the advantage early go late, mass prodromos, shaft of plague toxotes and chimeras and that should be it.

I saw a game that u won against Isis, with Odin, spamming elephants at u after meteor ur base, can you make that Isis build?

[@IamMagicAOM]

I think that build will get nerfed, we shouldn’t waste our time using it

[@SmexMyPocky]

channels can be taken from temple too

Yeah I corrected myself in the text in the video
