Age of Mythology Retold: Water Basics - A Mini Guide

[@aeonstar293]

Water maps are some of my favorites personally. Water combat feels much more streamlined in AoM than it did in AoE2 to me.

[@AnkaraAnkaraMessiMessiMessi]

The new AoE2 expands more the watter combat. In a way we can say they were inspired by AoM. Super hyped ngl

[@timbuysman3454]

It's a lot better because losing water doesn't mean the game is instantly over.

[@nicholaslvov8363]

I don’t know how you do this, Magic! I have just started learning water maps and trying to figure out how to play those and here you are with a guide. Thank you!

[@abdenamir2374]

He is really magic, same for me playing Gaia and Freyr and he made a guide for both.

[@Makiaveliiste]

Thank you for your initiatives and the dedication you show to the development of AOM retold community ! You're the best. I love these guides. Can you make a video about APM (action per minutes)? Are they overrated? Are they underrated? How to increase them...? I think many people want to know. Thank you

[@IamMagicAOM]

Sure I’ll add it for a future video

[@Makiaveliiste]

@@IamMagicAOM Thank you very much !

[@Mathilde_Moksha_333]

I'd love to see more maps added to the ranked mappool, water maps and non-water maps too! I'm quite tired of seeing elysium so much 🤣🤣

[@banana_hammock11]

Very helpful, thanks Magic!

[@tomblack2064]

I've only played a handful of water maps with Odin. As i dont know a water build i go pure land, 3 minute or 3.15 age up with Freyja, full pressure on all gold mines then gold starve. It works a treat, at least at 1300 and below

[@benwil6048]

You really wanne send your scout by clicking the minimap, much faster.

[@IamMagicAOM]

Yep in some scenarios this is definitely better, but the way I do it allows me to see the map terrain after it’s been scouted so I can memorize certain positions

[@benwil6048]

@@IamMagicAOM Oh I see :P I noticed you were zooming all over the place during the match, I'm guessing your speed came from using hotkeys? I really need to start using hotkeys lol. But then again multiplayer doesn't work for me so, rip

[@IamMagicAOM]

@@benwil6048 yep, hotkeys + I use a really high DPI/scroll speed on my mouse

[@Catharsis791]

Could you do a series about army control? Especially norse because you also have to build with them. Thanks 🙏

[@Catharsis791]

And winning fights etc, micro with control groups etc

[@edmis90]

He made a video called "Guide on effective micro" just a month ago.

[@giulianomellizo2473]

Why did you get a scylla when you chose Afrodita?

[@IamMagicAOM]

Every civ gets a water myth unit upon advancing to heroic now and mythic, it doesn’t matter what minor god you pick

[@itswakkowarner]

Or you could just Alt + F4 like the rest of us. Just kidding!

[@IamMagicAOM]

Ahah
