The Caladria, as most units, heals faster if the unit which is healed is idle and standing still

[@jurrenkroon]

[@PiyushShandilya]

OK! READ THIS, VIPER: One of the handful things that make AOM better is INFORMATION. You can click on any unit and check its stats and its use. For example, Not only heroes counter Myth Units, other Myth Units also counter Myth Units. This is based on the counter system. So if a unit counters the other, its attack is multiplied by a factor. Like, Egyptian axemen counter all infantry, and so even if they have a puny attack damage (5) they hit the infantry with 15 attack damage, decimating them. Similarly, if you don't have access to Heroes and are faced with Myth Units, use your OWN myth units against theirs. In fact, If you click on the image of a myth unit, it says "good against humans and other myth units". Secondly, If you are trying to defend (initially), walls and towers are a good choice. But if you go on offensive, don't just move ahead with the army. Start building your production buildings ahead. This way you don't have to fall all the way back in case of a lost fight. It's much easier to pump an army using your forward bases, otherwise your army spends a lot of its time travelling all the way towards the action. Thirdly, Healing in any case, (be it the healing spring, valkyrie, the rejuvenation research that you did, the Caladria, Zeus's Healing God Power or any other) is faster when the target unit is standing still. So stop moving them when they are being healed. Also, you need to remember the counters. In this campaign it's just that the AI micro sucks, otherwise your destroyers could have been massacred by their Hypaspists who counter all infantry, and deal 2x their actual damage to infantry. Destroyers are not OP. They have terrible damage against units (only good against buildings). No unit is OP at all, or the game wouldn't be balanced. However, a few combinations do make life easier, like the one you use (Destroyers as meat shield and Arcus doing the actual damage). Adding myth units to your army in campaigns is good because the AI rarely make heroes and myth units do bonus damage to any human unit. Even if you encounter enemy heroes, just focus them using your archers and your myth units will turn the tide to your side. One last suggestion I'd like to give you is keep checking the mini map. You can't afford to miss if you are being attacked on the map where you're not looking and end up losing a sizeable number of your villagers. Being your fans, we like seeing you struggle because that way the videos are lengthy :-P But we want you to be better at the dynamics of this game by the time you're done with the campaigns so that we can relish you competing in multiplayer games just like you do in AOE2. Happy to help.

[@anirudhviswanathan3986]

This!! I remember always walling up my base against AI at a chokepoint and putting towers behind. It is only really effective as Egyptians and Atlanteans who have good walls and towers. As Norse, you want to go aggressive as early as possible, since their walls barely stand up against age2 units.

God damn it viper, just build some walls and towers... This is your second series in a game where walls are really good damn useful. You've seen it at least 3 times and even done it yourself a few times! With walls you can defend your other structures while they build useful units. With towers, you can also wait out a bit as you get more resources. Master of AoE, but apparently if the map isn't a viperhack, then walls are dead weight.

Destroyers are actually pretty terrible against anything but buildings. A better generalist unit is probably the Fanatic, who deal massive damage, but are frail. As well as Murmillos, who primarily good against cav, but have solid enough attack to be good against anything.

Yeeeeees a new Age of Mythology video!!! Love these, I really like the animations and general feel to the game. Made it very unique for me and it is definitely fun to see you beating this ridiculously hard mode. (at least for me)

[@joshuajattan3845]

Try the Stymphalion Bird in the Heroic age instead of the Satyr in future missions. Once you've used the birds you'll never use the Satyrs again. Plus the god that gives the birds gives a much better God Power than Chaos.

[@benjamincost3244]

Chaos is probably the lamest god power in the game. It sounds so cool and yet only affects a couple units and causes them to revert back to their most basic form (ie. Chaosified champion hoplites get turned back into regular hoplites). Would be a lot sweeter if it affected twice as many units as well as myth units. Although maybe that would make it too OP.

[@andrean7338]

I think biper choose Hyperion for the health regen tech

[@amandapetersen9661]

In Odin's Tower, you need to build up your army immediately because you will be attacked almost immediately. Also, you will need more ranged units (arcus, or better yet Hero Arcus) to complete the objective of Odin's Tower.

when a unit gets healed don't move it, let it just stand there. usually the healing rate increases. your constant moving of troops when someone is healing triggers me.

[@gugussrandom5982]

[@anirudhviswanathan3986]

Yeah. I remember for one map agqinst AI, I always do forward walls at a chokepoint and put 2 towers behind it. Towers are king in AoM, especially if you are Egyptians.

[@MikeHesk742]

Never played this campaign before or the expansions. So Arkantos built an alliance of Greeks, Egyptian and Norse to fight Gargarensis and is blessed by Zeus and becomes a Greek God himself. Kastor follows his father's footsteps by worshipping the Titans and attacking an alliance of Greeks, Egyptian and Norse... Did Arkantos never beat sense into his son?

[@ryankasch5650]

That alliance of people did fuck all for the atlanteans after atlantis was destroyed in the final battle, and then proceeded to not ask them why they were worshiping the only gods that helped them

[@lettuceprime4922]

Kastor is also being manipulated by malevolent forces, much like Arkantos himself was.

[@MikeHesk742]

@@ryankasch5650 Did big daddy Arkantos ever ask Gargarensis why he worshipped the titans? No, he destroyed him like a man. The disrespec from Kastor, first he changes his people's language and then he doesnt pray to daddy. He's out of control!

[@louisdooner1497]

Viper you are a master player, but you do need to have a slightly more patient play-style on these styles of maps. I would suggest getting one goal done at a time and then reinforcing your position so you don't lose everything to the AI spam, (as other people had mentioned).

[@autronic9306]

As a greek, really enjoyed the video.

[@marcdedouvan]

The north vault is not well guarded: i just sent a hero and a citizen in Polypheme's cave passing through the fishers village, go into the underworld passage, built a temple, in the cave north, collect all relics and put in with the hero, then a barrack out (next to the entrance), recruit army (only archers and mirmillos, about 10 each), and voilà! And the fact that you can raid on two sides, annoyed a lot the ai, who cant mass an army.

[@benjamincost3244]

The Atlantean god powers pre-Mythic Age are pretty underwhelming IMO. I mean they're interesting - carnivorous plant, traitor, spider lair - but they don't change the course of the game the way the Classical and Heroic Age powers of their Greek, Egyptian and Norse counterparts do (ie. ceasefire, shifting sands, flaming weapons etc). I guess the ability to use them more than once makes up for that somewhat. And that being said, Vortex is arguably the most game-changing god power in AOM. Tartarian pit is pretty sweet too.

[@PiyushShandilya]

Vortex is pathetic. Actual I have tested it multiple times in the editor, The vortex sucks in units and then flings them away at once dealing damage. The more units sucked in the more damage on the explosion. I created a scenario favourable for the god power with all the buildings close to each other and as many units as possible nearby. Almost all units survived with probably a quarter (or less) of their health and only a handful buildings got destroyed. Tartarian pit is annoying and effective. It can decimate a base if used properly. Takes all the buildings down where it spawns and the tartarian spawns are actually powerful enough to be a nuisance if you don't destroy the gate soon as the supply is endless.

[@JohnBallard29018]

@@PiyushShandilya Vortex transports your military units to a designated area. What you meant was Implode, Atlas' God Power

[@JohnBallard29018]

OP you're right, because the Atlantean God Powers are overal worse than their counterparts they can be used multiple times except the more devastating knes like Tartarian Gate and Implode. I would argue that Hespirides, Traitor and Valor are useful, but Spider Lair, Carnivorous Plant and Vortex are only useful at certain moments and Chaos is completely useless

[@benjamincost3244]

@@JohnBallard29018 Yeah Spider Lair and Carnivorous plant are most useful in the early game to deal with small batches of units (the cinematic of them eating elephants whole is hilarious). I do think Vortex (especially in conjunction with Cronos' time shift ability) is pretty OP. You just teleport your army into the enemy base, which, even if you don't destroy them during the first attempt, bides enough time to time-shift production buildings into their base (I like time-shifting in Helios' sun towers too), and then you can just unit-spam them into they fall. And you can use Vortex 3 times!!!!!
