Age of Mythology: The Golden Gift - 3. Fight at the Forge

[@00Gerundiv00]

good guy viper, always giving his enemies the healing spring in an important fight

[@blakemarkland20]

LOLOL Good one!

[@artsenor254]

"Have we been guided by Loki all along ? I mean, it would explain these effigies we've put in our settlements and temples, but still !"

[@potatoesstarch2376]

This was great. Praise you vipi. I like how Eitri went from not being able to make units last mission, to being able to just SHIT out massive quantities of units like it's nothin.

[@SamuelDrexx]

82 minute video? *grabs popcorn* dis gon b gud.

[@jeroen92]

its cringing how addicted viper is to upgrades in age of mythology, hes literaly fully upgrading before making any units. he could make 100 units for the price of all those upgrades

[@benjamincost3244]

Def ranks in my top ten AOM episodes that Viper's played along with Rampage, Mount Olympus, A Place In My Dreams and Odin's Tower.

[@oscarferrernaval5745]

I just love how in the outros he doesn't know what to say and says random stuff while feeling awkward. Never change vipy

[@Graatand]

Snek Man, Eitri researched Omniscience which is AoM’s equivalent to Spies. That’s why he always knew when and where you were trying to sneak something.

[@UM96lol]

Not like the AI doesn't already know, but this is a good note to know for the future

[@samiamrg7]

@@UM96lol The AI's actually do scout stuff in this game. If you build a wall, they will run a scout into it trying to find a hole to send their army though. If they don't find one, they will just attack the front. This is how you can manipulate the AI into ignoring some places and attacking others.

[@kesiazezebajki1982]

I like it that just as the game begins the towers disappear because it's on Titan dificulty. Quality work ;)

[@georgealexandrustate4929]

47:39 that's some battle for winterfell vibe right there lol

[@benjamincost3244]

Wonder if those cave bears were programmed to be more aggressive because they had cubs with them. If so, nice touch by the developers.

[@Reichthoff]

Wtf they do have cubs! I only noticed that now lol.

[@benjamincost3244]

Eitri's soldiers at 1:14:45: "I'm tired of these motherfuckin snakes on this motherfuckin lake."

[@Wrestlemania24444]

"When I watched Game of Thrones, dragon was way stronger!"

[@Sids1192]

As soon as I saw the longboats being effective, I immediately paused the video and had a go myself, just spamming Jormunds. Those things are crazy as shore battery, especially against the Nords, who have no ranged heroes. Outside of building, or docking with similar numbers of kraken, they are pretty much unstoppable. In mine, they even wiped out the Nidhogg with ease.

[@TZAR_POTATO]

For the next mission, i predict a restart time of 5 minutes or less. Also, considering the AI never makes archers, pierce armor is pretty useless unless you are fighting lots of towers all the time. And, Burning Pitch upgrade is basically obsidian arrows. Only affects anti-building attack from archers.

[@UM96lol]

Norse don't really get archers. The closest to an archer would be Troll or Fire G, but both are myth units, so it's still not the same. The pierce armour helps vs buildings and ships immensly though

[@TZAR_POTATO]

@@UM96lol norse get archers from the hill fort.

[@UM96lol]

@@TZAR_POTATO Aren't those units recently added? I figure those aren't available in the older campaigns

[@solarwrath1313]

@@UM96lol im pretty sure he was able to make those archers in the norse titan mission of the new atlantis campaign

[@Sids1192]

@@UM96lol Actually the closest thing they have to archers is their ballistae. It's treated as an archer in terms of what it is good against, and for relics and such. I don't think Viper has built a single one yet. And of course, the unit added with the Chinese expansion, but those don't count.

[@benjamincost3244]

Viper finally using the Norse myth units after 100+ times playing as them. Mass krakens last episode and Fenris wolves, Jormund Elvers and Battle Boars galore during this one. You do us proud.

[@randomness4989]

This mission can be the easiest mission or the hardest depending on your approach,for me,I just rushed all the AI docks so early that the AI was panicking and sending all it dwarves outside his base and mine,remember:if you cant beat em,hit em with the old starvation tactics !!

[@brambillafumagalli8122]

Full Fatslob for the win! This level would be more easy with towers support from the start. Have to say that longboats seem cheesy too, I have done this campaign so many time but I never thought to build them.

[@marcdedouvan]

Dont pack the Fenris wolves with infantry, they gain speed bonus with their own pack: send them to raid buildings and vils, thats what they are good for (shield=50%). You even send them on hersirs: its a mess in term of micro!

[@prathameshvaidya]

Hero Death Count - Eitri - 1 Brokk - 7

[@benjamincost3244]

Damn, had that shit locked down like Fort Knox during the last ten minutes.

[@Omkar529]

- I don't know why you were not getting Favor from the Ragnarok heroes, thats unfortunate. - 30:04 It's crazy that your enemy starts at Archaic age and then in 12 minutes go to Mythic Age and send all this armies, that too fully upgraded. 1:03:08 Eitri got the Omniscience power some minutes ago which I believe gives him full vision of all enemy units on the map.

[@HousedHorse]

That outro was fantastic lol

[@WaIdfritzchen]

Minute 58: "Ulfsarks are not good"... some minutes earlier a huge army of cav runs towards the viper. The viper starts building Hersir's vs no myth units and blames Ulfsarks after that, hmmm :thinking: poor guys :( still love you :D

[@xMojayx]

Sooo in the end it basicly didn't matter who won the battle/build the boar

[@lamegamer4607]

A boy, waking up to a long one. Prostagma!

[@bappos_on_cracko4394]

"Oh, only a few horses." Oh how he was wrong 10 seconds later..

[@boltonbrowne7413]

Anyone taking bets on how long the next video is going to be? My guess is 2 hrs+

[@TZAR_POTATO]

2 hours seems right. It's the hardest mission in all the campaigns.

[@MrScarduelli]

I think this one is harder then the next

[@MrScarduelli]

But yeah, the next is hard as well, probably around the same hahaha

[@benjamincost3244]

​@@MrScarduelli I dunno, Cerberus in the New Atlantis was insane. Rampage was ridiculously hard as well.

[@TZAR_POTATO]

@@benjamincost3244 Highly disagree. Cerebus, if you defend the right side is really strait forward. Rampage is literally "kite the titan forever" the game. The next mission "SPOILER ALERT VIPER DONT READ THE REST" has a chance to attack you with fully upgraded army at 4 minutes in.

[@benjamincost3244]

I was about to hurl my laptop out the window had Viper not chosen Hel. Far and away the most OP minor god in the game. All three giants and Niddhogg.

[@Reichthoff]

I'm not sure, Baldr has Ragnarok.

[@Canuckrz]

Sound overall seems very low on this vid.

[@marcdedouvan]

Beware where you put healing spring: is for you not enemy!

[@Wrestlemania24444]

By the by, Omniscience is the "spies" tech for AOM, so that's probably why the AI knew where your stuff was.

[@HousedHorse]

Oh man I'm so hyped for these videos

[@eifelitorn]

Biper you can see how many collectors on each res you have by looking next to the res counter.

[@ayushagarwal9815]

Viper sees enemy has hero units. Let's create battle boar myth unit xD

[@CornBredCrusader]

Viper, when this game came out, most people didnt really hunt too much. The game was a lot slower, similar to early AoE2

[@prathameshvaidya]

How did the Vault not get convereted at @1:14:07?

[@vonbergzutal5991]

Finally we get to see the wolfs

[@outwithayang7153]

Always happy to see more prostagma.

[@Th3Nigma]

It's amazing how many men died because of Brokk and Eitri's petty feud. F in the chat for the Norsemen who died.

[@orton797]

gl with the next one probably will take longer

[@T-West]

Oh boi, that was a long one!

[@bat353]

Ulsarks are seriously worth mixing into your army.

[@marcdedouvan]

That scen was bloody hell for me (did yesterday). I won (after 50 tries) but is even more unfair than the son of Osiris sumoning guardian shit. I cant find a fair way without luring nidhog, because you start with shit eco and enemy huge and all buildings. I guess the key is destroy his docks and take his ships fast. worked for me. After lot of loss he is like dead.

[@mikehart7]

Build Hillforts... protects your units and produces units

[@udechile2497]

Brook says '' shit ''-when hit?

[@TheOnlyeX]

Time to relive the madness that is this stage when not cheesing it

[@tamaskosa3283]

The norse walls and towers with Heimdall's upgrade are really strong actually. edit: 1:04:44 That's the strongest Sentry Tower in the world :D

[@defiant_]

lmfao now i feel less bad for restarting this mission like 5 times

[@MrScarduelli]

I think this is the hardest stage in the game, even then Atlantis 2

[@fernandodonatto5786]

mission 3-4 of golden gift are the hardest. The 4 is more painfull bec of random time the ai discover you.

[@TheSacredMaster]

Is it just me, or is the video audio lower than usual?

[@TheViperAOE]

It is, I had rendering issues a few times and it was eating up so much pc usage and time that I gave up. I apologize. Hopefully next one will be fine.

[@shiro_the_trap2513]

Prostagma

[@diogolissoni4402]

I love your age of mythology videos. I wish the best for you

[@amoljoshi5320]

i was waiting for viper to say,"first try boys".

[@TattooedDancer91]

Lol if this was tough, just wait until the next one haha That one is insane

[@esmeailkhoury]

Loki is the best CIV you get free strong myth for just fighting with hero

[@microqueen69]

Did anyone tell viper that Dwarves are only good for collection gold?

[@Sids1192]

Especially true since this mission is Loki instead of the Thor from previous missions. Nonetheless, this campaign doesn't allow the regular gatherers to be built, so there aren't really any alternatives if you want wood (though relying on fishing ships for food is a good idea).

[@Leon-oc4em]

I don't remember this mission, is this new?

[@T-West]

It was originally made as a free scenario for AoM that you could download from their website back in the day.

[@dphillips95c]

You know walls are a thing. Just saying.

Dude, your audio mixing is really bad. You voice and pings are full volume while voices (units) are nearly silent and music is barely present. Also will you do some multilayer matches of AOMEE at any point?
