Anubites Are The Next BIG THING | AoM Retold Ranked 1v1 Set vs Odin and Loki

[@edmis90]

Guys, if you could, would you choose to be an Anubite?

[@noaccount4]

Pros: -jumpy boy -Anubis grants you guardian drip -big sickle energy Cons: -people say you're cheap -2 population means you pay double rent -will not beat the furry allegations

I asked for Set games a few days ago, and goodness I have been treated. Thanks Boit

[@dmonarch4668]

How do we select only a certain unit once we selected a bunch of units, I try to click in the icon of the unit I want as in old aom but nothing happens the whole group stays selected

[@Ninakoru]

Shift click on the group instead.

[@hardworkpaysoff4206]

Hold shift and then click the icon

At 7:30, Boit was selecting elephants and bush through fog of war. I guess he was trying to spot villagers somehow (counting bushes??). Does anyone know?

[@grogmadman522]

I play only egyptians and against norse I only found heavy early aggression to work. If I go eco or tech with early midgol, their age 3 power tends to screw me over. I don't know the counterplay to frost pausing my army and then going wild on my prod and eco

[@AHaber007]

Your opinion on nerfing greek classical MUs instead of buffing weak classical MUs that dont see much use? (Also as a countermeasure vs Greek MU)

[@goochipoochie]

MUs already too weak in general in the game ? After 5-10mins of game time they get absolutely shredded by almost all civs, Greek heroes very limited and get wiped out by s oldiersvery fast late game so i think it fair that their myth units are somewhat better

[@AHaber007]

@@goochipoochie yeah i agree. I dont like the direction in which they are going so far.

[@BoitTV]

Yeah idk. Kinda tough to say. Some thing clearly need toning down but what needs bringing up is a little more difficult. I like balance that fluctuates so I wouldn't be opposed to seeing MU that don't get seen very much getting buffed but I'm not sure which MU they are :P Seems to me they are all pretty situationally good.

[@AHaber007]

@@BoitTV I thought that Eggys and Attys MUs would need abit bit of a touch up. But you are in a better position to judge that.

[@iseeyou1312]

Don't think they need to be buffed, just cost less favour, or make the Greek ones cost more. A minotaur shouldn't have the same favour cost as an anubite, and a cyclops shouldn't be just 3 more.

[@thembones1895]

Next big ting? Nah, they are just a versatile Egyptian unit. (Which Egypt does not have many)

[@RustCohle072]

Bruh Gaia is tilting me at times too. I sometimes just hop into a 3v3 soon after to try and un-tilt (though yes it's possible that one or even two players in that match will be her, lol.

[@itsmoyzehh3873]

Lads, I may sound stupid here. But I don’t know how to use the hot keys I play well, but it’s hard to compete with the more experienced players pace because of it. Anyone shed some light please? (Xbox player reliving childhood nostalgia😂)

[@chimps121]

Learning a hotkey will take ages and you will play worse for the first few games, but you will get better as it becomes muscle memory to do so. Boit's first fundamental video describes how he uses hotkeys (he has his individual production buildings on separate hotkeys, like archery range is control group 1, military academy is control group 2, his TC was 3 i think and army was 4). Eventually you will get better at pressing 1 then q to make say an archer, instead of clicking over to your archery range and clicking the archer button. Several players have their own setups and while everyone says do what is comfortable for you, I have no sense of what is comfortable so I just steal a player's hotkey setup. Other than that I probably wouldn't change the default hotkeys and get used to them, maybe aside from changing control groups 6-9 to the function keys (I think TheRapl does this to keep all his hotkeys on the left side of his keyboard).

[@itsmoyzehh3873]

@@chimps121 you’re a goat for that explanation dude, so using hot keys is ctrl and then as you said for boit his tc is 3. So I’d hi light a villager and press crtl 3 and it will bring up a tc to build? Sorry to sound daft, just want to not lost valuable time when it’s necessary

[@chimps121]

@@itsmoyzehh3873 not quite, so there are control groups and hotkeys. You put stuff in control groups for easily accessing a group of units/buildings to control them quickly, and hotkeys are ways to command them. Example of a hotkey is your primary army, so instead of box clicking all over your units, you can add them to one group by selecting them and pressing shift+4, and now whenever you press 4 on the number row on the top it will select all the units in that initial selection. Let's say you have an idle Greek villager near a gold mine and there are no drop sites. Without hotkeys you will need to find the idle vil, either by looking on the minimap or clicking the red idle villager banner, then move your mouse to the storehouse button, then move your mouse over to where the storehouse should be. This can be tedious and is only a one handed job. Instead what you can do is press the hotkey that finds your idle villagers, which I think is space by default but I could be wrong, until you find the idle vil near the gold mine (hopefully only one so this is easy!). Then you would push the button on your keyboard that commands a villager to build a storehouse (E by default I think) then hopefully you already have your mouse hovering over where you want the storehouse, so you simply click there.

[@TheDannyc1991]

ive always found it stange that egyptian beats norse in classical. Especially as they also beat them in heroic (yes norse heroic is considered a power spike but down to god powers, not armies). Has always been such a horrible match up for norse that I hoped would have been tweaked for Retold.

[@adamyoung7895]

Kind of depends on the Egyptian player being able to out-micro the Norse. Since Norse units are much more well-rounded but the Egyptian units are all counters, you have to know how to micro them really well for them to be effective. In a straight up fight with no micro the Norse wins every time.

[@Ninakoru]

Norse has slightly better units and MUs, but Egypt classic counters norse classic quite well: Norse has to switch gears a bit, all out offense vs Egypt is a lose-lose situation if the Eggy player is good.

[@TheDannyc1991]

@@adamyoung7895 yeh there is truth to that for sure. However, axemen are generally OP in my opinion (cheap, fast train time) and really ruin a norse players day. Making RC is far from ideal. They are only a soft counter to axemen, and train very slowly (I think they are generally quite bad units). This is compounded by the fact that norse needs to both gain map control to hunt, and get to heroic (which aggressive classical eggy) can put a stop to, aaand bad norse classical myth units (arguable for sure, but anubites and sphinx are harder for norse player to deal with than anything norse can field)
