When I play Norse, Kraken is often a complete game-changer for me at sea. I'll have completely lost the entire battle at sea, build on more dock, get heroic to get a free Kraken, spawn another, and then turn the entire situation around, I've done this a couple of times in PvP 1600+. It's an incredibly powerful myth unit. I think it does better as an army (or just a group of two) than most other myth units because of it's instant kill, and Greek's Scylia has to share kills (meaning less heads) which means is less good in pack: it's better suited in a lone wolf situation. All I care about is killing ships, and it's the only one with a Ship instant-kill.

The tricky with the Scylla is to find some way to heal it up. Which is a lot easier said then done. But if you somehow has a way to heal it up then it become really nasty. I do agree that the Kraken is very powerful. It can easily give you dominance at see. And once you have that you can deny your opponent.

The Leviathan can garrison units like a transport ship. I know it doesn't have an impact in direct combat on water, but I would have liked to see you discuss it or at least acknowledge it in passing. That's my only criticism though, great vid and I really enjoy these AoM videos!

I never knew the Azure Dragon could levitate over water - thought he was strictly a land unit while the Dragon Turtle was his naval counterpart. I wish the Azure Dragon was restricted to land because that defeats the purpose of the Dragon Turtle in my opinion.

Man'o'war have 15 range ! Same for Jormund but 20. it isn't supposed to tank directly but more to kite. And also dont forget than ranged units can in group one tap someone (same goes for the egyptian crocodile where you rated him very bad) but they can one tap a unit in groups. I like your tests but I think you could get more tests and probably try with a friend to make the tests less ''random'' (I remember a group of 2 units not fighting in the melee tests)
@LeetMasterAce2 жыл бұрын
This is a really great point. The Petsuchos Egyptian laser-gator fires VERY slowly and is TOTALLY squishy, likely dying to most myth units in a 1v1, but that isn't a fair assessment of its usefulness. The same can be said for these seafaring myth units. Those with ranged attacks can help bolster shoreline assaults between land units and serve as backline cover for ramming ships. Man-o-War comparison to Son of Osiris is interesting, but consider how Son of Osiris himself is pretty squishy. You wouldn't send him in to solo anything.
@miodragdjikic63742 жыл бұрын
For me Kraken is number 1, you just make them few and put them together and they will control that area, however other mith units can't instantly kill, so can get lost around while running for fishing boat and than transport ship can easily come. Of corse this is in case you play against AI and if you don't have time to spend controlling the sea by yourself...

One thing I like what Spirit of the Law does for his AOE2 videos, is he set-up groups of units for Similair costs. So lets say 3 Man o wars vs 4 Jormund Elver Or what about these in combination with a few ships. Anyway love the vid, keep it up.

Might just be that once you have matured you also have gotten better at these sorts of games. Though the Extended edition do have a lot to be desired.
