Viper: I feel safe. Should I make units? Me: YESS Viper: I think I have enough. Maybe I will be okay. Me: Reeeeeeee make units. They burn forest and attack. Viper: what is thiiiiiss. Viper: Castor is tanking. Game: A hero has fallen. Viper: This is a disaster. Viper: They are stealing my cows too... Prostagma will never change. Neither will Biper.. Less than three.

@Potatoes Starch I know that I watch probably around ½ his aoe vidoes at least, but the fact of the matter is that he DOES wall here, and when he does things (including walling) at least in aoe, unless he is in full trolling mode, he does tend to do things as efficiently as possible

Big tip for atlantean military: use counter barracks units. They get crazy bonuses against their counter type in damage. All those cavalry raids would have been shreded by the counter cavalry mace infantry.

I like how they were too lazy to change the animation when its destroyed so that you see a norse tower getting destroyed

[@kesiazezebajki1982]

I don't know how they have missed all of that, but to be honest I tried to really reason the plot of this campaign and even looking at some scenarios where some mechanics make no sense like in SPOILER ALERT last but not least mission when you just look all around the map in the very beginning you basically lost it due to Automatons reanimating when you just look at them and attacking everything. END OF SPOILER I think some parts of it were just rushed. Not the visuals these are amazing, but mechanic-wise or triggers to be specific, yeah.

[@RandomVideosAkatEtRisboi]

im gonna love seeing him do Cerberus

[@canadian__ninja]

Hey now.

[@KaiserFranzGaming]

Viper, you should train myth units more often. They are really powerful and good value (cost favor and another type of resource). It's the Age of MYTHOLOGY after all... :)

[@SlimUPWatcher]

He just know Hydras and Colossus.

[@dominusalicorn3684]

My dad always had this problem too. He would only ever go for human units, and the occasional colossus. He would get so mad when my medusae petrified his colossae.

[@satyakisil4289]

The Vortex God power is actually a Mythic age God power. In this scenario, you simply have a trigger which gives it when you uproot the Norse temples. In pvp, you can use Vortex three times(as with most Atlantean God powers).

[@ryansjokeshop]

I love how constant the battle to save his two fish was when he has like 20 atlantien civilians on upgraded farms lmao

[@chriskasper4662]

Viper! Make the god damn counter barracks!! Atlanteans have 2 types of barracks!! viper!!!

[@dominusalicorn3684]

I know! First enemy unit he encounters is huskarl, infantry good against archers. Archers won't help you there, vipe, you need the counter-infantry.

[@makotoshirogane]

Your next mission is gonna be very special. I think you will have a very good time if you figure out what to do early. You would be like OHHHHH THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE Seriously, atlantean campaigns is super entertaining to play and I got lots of entertainment by watching you suff- I mean play them

[@Shlonzs]

Mermaid Tryingtouseinternet yeah I totally agree 😁

[@makotoshirogane]

I like to see biper cringe even more when he got overrun both on water and land. Not just sneak docks.

[@emilgfagutz6596]

Fun fact about this mission: the green Norse enemy has a special lightning storm power that is very similar to the one that Greeks have in all regards except that it can be used infinite many times and it does not stack with itself or any other god powers, so you chain 5 lightning storms in the same place at the same time(that's also how the AI that protects odins tower). I remember when I was young and made myself take control of green, then made the other Norse enemies build up huge combined armies and then defend my base(AI controlled too) with a mega ultra lightning storm that spanned most of the map

[@oskthebold1337]

Just so you know, if you go into the diplomacy tab it will show how many of each god power you have, which is helpful for missions like this where you have extra ones (in this case I think there are 10 uses of Vortex). Also, after so many years of playing Age of Mythology I only just now learned that the Atlanteans have those little dots above their god power icons to show how many you get/have left.

[@xotl2780]

T90official should cast this game. Wait, did he just say we're worshipping Kronos...?

[@alierencelik2188]

Viper, as a somewhat experienced Atlentean player, I should point out several things. 1- You do not produce enough villagers. As game proceeds and some of your villagers die, you do not make new ones. This makes your economy go lower or not go higher. 2- Making units hero is very expensive. Make your units hero only if enemy has some number of myth units. And hero units take one more population. It should be favored to have 3 archers instead of 2 hero archers. 3- Destroyers are really bad at fighting an army. They are only good against buildings and they can tank arrows. Murmillo & arcus is a better choice than destroyer & arcus. 4- Atlenteans usually have hard time against Norse. Norse units are better than Atlentean units and usually counters them. 5- Best ways to deal with huskarl spam of Norse is cherioballistas and fanatics. Fanatics are trained from Palace at the last age. 3-4 units of cherioballista can shred a bunch of infantry units and cherioballistas are not archers, they are siege weapons :) 6- Mix some counter barracks units to your army if it makes sense i.e. you could mix some counter cavalry unit to your army. Farms are expensive because you build only one farm for a citizen which works 3 times faster than regular villagers :)

[@ericlahey7051]

Ah this mission. My favorite strat was building enough for the enemy to not be able to get in, then tower hopping all over the cliffs, until you get line of sight of the temple, then its a simple deconstruction into temple transfer, once all 3 are gone, vortex to odins and kill it

[@Ciclopotis]

Wow, the AI actually made a dock and went for the 2 fish there, never seen that happen

[@mylifeisfunny8911]

perhaps because he plays on titan difficulty

[@Ciclopotis]

? I do too, I just wall the chokepoint so the AI never crosses into my base area, so they never have the chance to build anything.

[@kugerily]

everytime viper says "progress" but what he did is actually going the opposite way.. I didnt go for middle and west guard in all my life playing this mission. BUT NO, viper is greedy and wanna watch the vikings suffer even further by obliterating all of them. im looking forward to next mission in egypt. definitely be great to see viper try to spam against egypt migdol stronghold units without acknowledging how absurd counter barrack bonuses do. this is why I love viper. not lying man

[@huzaifaliaqat1491]

That was the most intense finish ive seen to a campaign game

[@Reichthoff]

True (unless we count Joan of Arc 5).

[@TZAR_POTATO]

spends 200 resources/villager and 150 resources/destroyer to get hero units. "Ah i have no resources to make any units!" Brilliant, Viper! NOTE: It's more efficient to make a second unit than to upgrade the first one to hero. Make heroes to kill myth and if you have a stupid amount of resources. Hero villagers are only good for tanking.

[@elroyjennings7833]

I'm starting to think Viper got stuck on the 5th mission and he has been stuck in the game for the past 5 days. There is no other reason why Viper hasn't uploaded anything to KZbin.

[@digital045]

Farms are cheap right? How much they cost? . . . 200 woods!!!! XD

[@brambillafumagalli8122]

Vaaaaaaaaat!!!!!

[@gugussrandom5982]

8:45 we are not complaining about you not walling ^^ it's just some advices for you :p ( also the atlantean have the second best walls in the game ( behind the chineses ) when fully upgraded, but that's not free )

[@julioobregon6586]

I love this new serie, i mean how Many Times you see the aoe's god suffer the same Than a mortal like me. U are my hero mr Lord Viper

[@Fitzibutzi]

@Viper It doesnt matter if you research Blacksmith upgrades, when you are turning your units into heros. They don't benefit from it, since they are already fully upgraded once they are heros afaik. Btw. 200 Wood makes sense since farms always can only be farmed by one vill no matter what civ you play. But one citizen is actually 3 Vills so... one Citizen working on one farm is like 3 Vills working on 3 farms. In Addition I always thought when you run out of Vortex the mission is done you cant win anymore. Seems like the programmers thought of that. What I think: The last vortex that you used had still a programmed cooldown, although you did not see it. When it was over you gained another one, at least I think that's how it worked.

[@Fitzibutzi]

@VultureGuy That is indeed new to me. Back in my kid days I thought I have tested that, and the heroes stats just stayed the same after upgrading. Gonna test that again. On the other hand it makes sense, since Arkantos etc. also benefit from it.

[@Fitzibutzi]

@VultureGuy Alright thank you. I thought that the hero upgrade was like just give all upgrades to that special unit plus Myth damage.

[@randomness4989]

I actually runned out of the deconstruct and had to hop troops to gain vision then hop off towers on the hills

[@marcdedouvan]

39:56 : target rams with archers: NOT LIKE THAT!

[@mythology2467]

Viper if you click on a unit picture and bring up that page it will tell you what upgrades they are currently benefiting from. - You can see your opponent's eco upgrades by clicking on a vil of theirs. Also. How does it feel to play under Kronos, the titan the entire last campaign had you stopping? And killing the Greeks, Norse and Egyptians? Your trusted allies :)

[@CommandanteRamon]

"I think it's fine...!" (Everything is burning...:-D)

[@T-West]

The first time I noticed that sneak dock was probably my favorite moment playing through the campaigns 111

[@djosjowa8433]

By clicking on the portrait of a unit, you can see which upgrades currently affect it. For the destroyers and siege weapon upgrade that might be useful.

[@marcdedouvan]

Use the pegasus given by the relic to scout over the mountain man, instead of mocking it!

[@NolDragon]

Commenting before watching ! On this mission you can towercreep your way to the temples by using the elevated terrains that separate the Norse enemies ! You can almost kill the whole map with towers this way xD Let's see what Biper will do ! (Hopefully outspam the enemies just like on mission 2 hahah)

[@koojaa]

Almost 1 hour and 40 minutes long...we're in for a good one.

[@SwissCheese667]

What I love with Viper is that he doesn't give up easily. Many would have quit way before finding the Pegasus relic....

[@FreshThanatos]

I mean 90min Viper video sounds great but when will he realise that "turning each unit to a hero" wont really increase the army strength ( only vs Myth units ) but it destroys his pub and eco xd ? All those hero archus vs huskarls and raiding cav ._. what a waste .. poor men

[@makotoshirogane]

Yea. Ikr I hope viper read this He got nice eco tho. But seeing him win fights with endless spamming is actually quite frustrating to watch really

[@stefanstadler4925]

Well the mass hero strategy does work if you have a lot of military and can afford more military + the constant hero spam. But all of the above points didn't apply to Viper here

[@X3riv3X]

Viper, you should have made the counter-cavalry infantry and the counter infantry siege weapon. All they send is Raiders + Jarls + Huscarls. Archers and Myrmidons wont do well here.

[@luciusashan1551]

last temple ! SO CLUTCH BOI

[@Cold-Blooded-Jay]

The pegasus relic he ignored at the beginning could have helped him so much. Also sacrificing his villagers and trade for more pop would have been the right move to maximize an army when getting a foothold with vortex. (also not wasting them woulda been a good idea, lol)

[@marcdedouvan]

36:51 : that's a damn risky move!

[@eifelitorn]

[@marcdedouvan]

Einheriar is Epic sax ancestor. Prevent him to blow his horn man: KILL HIM! Target at first with all hero archers: that's the key (same for giants and other strong miths units: dont let them massacre your human soldiers)!

[@darylgraham4313]

Just grinding in this scenario is extremely difficult. You can beat the scenario by just going on a heist for that Pegasus relic early.

[@bryanfuerst3277]

It’s funny I didn’t even think of using the Pegasus that way until after I beat the green camp. I had a foundation where I wasn’t going to lose, but it was sooo hard to win! It was just getting so tedious and such. And so once I earned my win over green I said f it and used the Pegasus 😅

[@Lortius]

I've been thinking, are we the baddies?

[@teddyhaines6613]

Where'd you get that idea? We're just worshiping the scheming bastard who sunk our island in the first game and attacking people for the sake of attacking people, what's the problem?

[@makotoshirogane]

Plot wise, yeah. Definitely baddies. Kastor even says their God has abandoned them. But sooner or later, he will get spanked real hard

[@majungasaurusaaaa]

Don't make atty heroes if you're just fighting regular units. Atty heroes are very exp and perform the worst vs normal units cost effectively. You only need a couple of arcus heroes to snipe myth units. You had gold and favor piled up and could have produced a great deal of promethean meatshields.

[@sigmundfreud4618]

The worst that can happen in this scenario: Kastor dies and AI builds a house over his corpse, which causes it to despawn. There is no way to revive him, so you can't win. But you won't lose either.

[@DTSJ1990]

This was great entertainment XD

[@Cyrikyty]

I think the scenario gives you 10 uses of vortex, but since it usually only has 3, it displays the full 3 even if you have more, all the way until you go down to 2. I think you can check on the diplomacy screen exactly how many you have, it shows a number on the icon there iirc.

[@tomscorpion6288]

Pretty sure that's not the case as it went down to 1 once and then back to 2.

[@Cyrikyty]

That doesnt invalidate my statement. I can add that it rewards you with 1 extra vortex every time you replace a temple.
