Age of Mythology Retold - The Indestructible Turtle

[@PhyzKidz]

He didnt use earthquake right on the TC because the monuments block god powers when youre playing as Isis for the Egyptians.

[@ZazeH]

sadly he didnt space out his monuments more so his main base would be immune to earthquake compeltely. But the earthquake didnt do much at all

[@KiluminatiOG]

@@ZazeH i grouped my monuments up because i thought if i have them all wtihin range of eachother, when i go to empower, they will get the 100% gather bonus, however, i had no clue if that worked or not and i think its a ra only thing lol

[@philippledger3053]

@@KiluminatiOG Yeah, that's a Ra thing. With Isis, it just extends the range of the anti-god power field.

[@ShadowTheHedgehogCZ]

Spreading them would be a double edged sword too. Because if they are not in range of each other, then if the enemy takes one out, it will create a hole for the meteor to land. And if the one monument closest to the town center was the weakest one (which can often happen by that you build your first monument close), then it would be easiest to destroy it and land the meteor. So I think grouping them makes sense. It's much harder to destroy all of them in the center of enemy base.

[@TavernadoLug]

Wow, such an honor to have you casting my game Im Tetr and it was awesome fun playing against Kilu Ty Drongo, I really enjoy your videos and its great to have you on the retold!

[@AGripOBabys]

dont know if you noticed, but the comment above you stated that playing with isis, your monuments block go powers as a passive, thats why your earthquake didnt work.

[@dankchill]

Aom retold beta is over and I'm going through withdrawals. This is exactly what I needed

[@LLoKKa]

Almost 2 months until we can play it again. So glad they made a great remake, instead of ~reforging it *cof cof

[@Redgarrr]

Bro legit. I thought it was perfect

[@ThanosMoist]

I wonder if this game will do better and have higher player counts than aoe4

[@ProfessorAjax]

Your style of "commenting" fits perfectly with AoM dynamics, mate, really happy to see you enjoying it with us! Of course you dont need to "switch" games, but always feel welcome to stream some AoM! I was really afraid of a new dissapointment with Retold, but the game is just amazing and better than expected, honestly.

[@KiluminatiOG]

This has got to be the most fun game I have witnessed! What an awesome preformance by Mr. Tetr, however, King King Kiluminati may be known to be the king of attrition battles. All jokes aside, your casting is next level entertaining! Thank you for casting this game, i feel honored teehee

[@justinhess2747]

The geographic feature you're looking for is isthmus.

[@Jimboquacks]

22:25 Tetr couldn't do earthquake I believe closer to the TC because the god Kiluminati was playing has a benefit that god powers can't be used against her within the monument radius.

[@Immortalits]

That is for all egyptians, it's not god-specific, but an egiptian mechanic, that the monuments grant an area protection against godpowers

[@aierune8201]

Ah yeah he's playing Isis, one of her Ambient Major God Powers is being unable to use God powers within Monument range

[@Eliminator1900]

Exactly.

[@Eliminator1900]

@@Immortalits That's new then. Because originally only Isis had that

[@kelvin-e9l]

@@Immortalits That's not for all Egyptians, is Isis only, you can still use godpowers if you are against Ra or Set

Ceasefire is definitely working differently than it used to. Ceasefire in Classic and Extended Edition would Halt construction of Fortress-Type buildings and Towers, meaning that Red would Not have been able to construct that Migdol Stronghold

[@Leotophe]

Now I think it slows down constructions, but still able to build.

[@GARGANTUANMASKEDFISH]

I like the change, honestly.

[@pipodedown1986]

ceasefire has been nerfed so hard, holy

[@Leotophe]

@@pipodedown1986 It was so strong though... :) I think it still has some use, but not by completely negating half of the offensive god powers of the game.

[@ceesbos6821]

Impressive how fast and flawless you read that number at 13:27

[@clayandsand]

6:14 I think the word you're looking for is "Isthmus". As per google: a narrow strip of land with sea on either side, forming a link between two larger areas of land. Best example is Panama and the way it is between the Caribbean sea in the east and the Pacific ocean on the west while also connecting both North and South America. EDIT; Source: I'm kind of a geography nerd when I was a kid, so I still remember a few stuff from all the "Geography for kids!" books that I read.

[@Eliminator1900]

25:48 - Since when can Polyphemus hit a flying unit 😂

Every hero in the game can now hit flying units. It's an intended balance change. Though it's indeed weird to see Polyphemus slam his mace into the ground and kill a phoenix.

[@Cynndora]

strange the isis player didn't spread out the monuments, kinda important when they give you god power immunity.

[@zenologic7786]

As soon as I saw him going all those villagers on wood I knew centaurs were coming. It was a classic strategy on Voobly. People would raid with centaurs like crazy

[@NakamuraRTS]

Huge victory! Kiluminati is super fortunate to have had the monuments protect against god powers.

[@Enoxix.]

Can't wait for this to be released!

[@thefench1]

feels like Tetr hurt himself more than kiluminati with that earthquake

[@batzd]

aom is so fun to watch compared to aoe4

[@Calebol04]

I agree, although when I see some streamers with the zoom so high I feel that they lose a lot of life, I would like the zoom to be more controlled, at least in the competitive game, a matter of taste I suppose.

[@ZacharyZorbas]

Holy moly what a game!! Great casting!!!

[@NamerGaming]

It was surprising seeing the Isis player coming back, but if you pay attention, the Poseidon player had more than 50 idle villagers for most of the time his attack took place, on top of his archers targetting a building for more than 1 minute. 😅

[@MouseDestruction]

From what I recall the egypt chariot archers were the best late game unit. At least ones that don't cost favor anyway, and in a direct match up would beat those anyway if micro was used. And having elephants is great too, a few elephants and a horde of chariot archers was perhaps the most reliable way to stop a titan without your own titan.

[@patricktew]

Best game in the AOE Retold beta-sphere, yet

[@icecoldchilipreppers]

[@pedroprass106]

Damn, that meteor looked so... underwhelming

[@delphidelion]

You know what would be a great quality of life? They should make it where grouped units have a replenish button to queue up the appropriate units to replace lost units.

[@dervakommtvonhinten517]

miracles are reusable for favour now right? so is it possible to gather enough favour as greeks to keep the peace miracle perpetually up?

[@UnderKingDuck]

It going to be awesome when we get 6th different cultures to play with. :D I expect due to geographical positioning on the map that we will most likely see Aztecs second after the Chinese. I would love to see other areas get covered too, like Hinduism mythos, but they would need to be careful on how they add Hinduism because it still practiced today. But if they can do it while be respectful, 100% would be my first option for a new culture.

[@kaiptn1211]

4:41 is it a visual bug or does a 4th lion just spawn out of nowhere?

The comeback doesn't seem as insane once you realize that killuminati was spending 30000000000000 resources on camel caravans all game

[@dodang_9147]

poseidon was definitely trolling. Isis vs Poseidon, you can't use earthquake vs isis monuments. this is one match-up for greeks where heph is ALWAYS right play. Poseidon player needed to build AT LEAST 2 resource pleaty vaults and market place otherwise Isis just crushes you in end game. Isis is counter-pick to Poseidon because Poseidon wants to go earthquake and end games early. the way you win game as poseidon is build a titan vs Isis before Isis builds Titan against you, once you build titan, you go straight for the Market place.

[@delphidelion]

plane and plains. Snakes on the plains. Edit: Oh good. You figured it out.

[@butter5144]

"Spiderman"😂😂😂😂🎉

[@PedroFreitas-hl5ul]

tbh the name change from hippikon to hippeus is also incorrect since hippeus is more a social class and more specific to athens, which wasn't really that important to the overall mythos or even the bronze age( iknow that the game is not representative of both as the greeks have a lot of alexandrian units for example) so i think it would be more accurate to name them as hippomachos, from the greek hippos- horse and machos ( makos) - warrior, so it would translate to mounted warrior.

[@davidlubkowski7175]

What an action packed game!

[@dervakommtvonhinten517]

@Drongo doesnt isis have an effect where your statues protect you from miracles? so maybe thats why the earthquake was used quite a bit away from them

[@barrywise7185]

Not sure if Theseus base damage is 7.2 or that's 7.2dps. but going to 8.2 from the relic would be almost 14% more damage. I could see that being useful for breakpoints maybe

[@magesticalmysterium6856]

it appears that mousing over Damage during the Beta produced a DPS Window taking into account their attack speed vs their damage so a Scout with 1 Damage and 1.1 attack speed. had a DPS of 0.9
