If they make DE version I hope there will be upgrade for titan to cross water for every civ, or at least make him able to cross "shallow rivers" that normal units can't. It would give more "Titanic" feel to it.

AGREED

[@necromancer2367]

If you use the TITANIC cheat it can cross water, so in terms of tech they can easily implement it. I hope they do that in Retold.

[@mrgreatauk]

Maybe you have to research a special tech called OceanGate at the docks to let your Titan cross water

I think a titan should be able to scale mountains, cliffs and cross water and forests without much issue. Just straight zoom across anything in front of it. It would give the titan a much more intimidating look, as a titan should

[@darkranger116]

The Greek Titan may be S tier because it can 1v1 every other Titan, but I would argue that the Atlantean Titan is still S tier as well, because of the sheer damage output from their ability to have hero archer infantry with massive anti-myth unit damage bonuses at their side. Their ability to regenerate hitpoints makes their utility and versatility off the charts if you micro and macro correctly, and switching them out with your army one or two times can make the difference between being one or two hits ahead of the enemy titan, giving you the victory. Which you can regenerate from.

[@Sudekip]

Indeen, I used my titan to destroy enemy's building, and when the titan is around 50% HP or a little less, I quit back to the base until his regeneration preparing for the next attack

[@dglukesluthier]

Thanks for this. I’ve always intuitively gone for ranged siege against titans, not sure why. How do catapults/Balistas etc fare?

[@Nexotic0]

Not very well hahah

[@MartinGreywolf]

I think Egyptians would be better Titan busters than the Atlanteans, mostly because they can do it on the cheap. Just spam out priests, support with pharaohs, throw in Son of Osiris for some spice. Atlanteans need a lot of resources, including favor, to do their archer hero spam. Good alternative for Greeks, who can't spam out heroes, are Gastrapethes. Well, if you play Hades. They get that nifty anti-myth-unit bonus from a tech and are ranged, belligerent and numerous.

[@ryankaiser2702]

They could send in chunky myth units as meat shields like scarabs or hydras while their high damaging priests and archers prick the titan to death with crush and bonus damage

[@Volcano4981]

Egyptian Priest spam with Nephtys's Funeral Rites upgrade just works wonders against Titans to the point an army of 25 might take down a Titan in just about a minute and a bit if protected properly. And as Norse a combination of Hersirs and Fire Giants would probably deal with them best. Hephaestus is almost always my first choice for Mythic Age to advance with whenever I play the Greeks. Beast Slayer provides that anti-myth unit bonus to Gastraphetes *and* Myrmidons and Hetairoi too which is neat. He also has the Forge of Olympus to cut down on the cost of all Armoury upgrades in case you were behind the curve or simply want to make the Mythic Age upgrades cheaper. I can totally get behind a Hero-Gastraphetes combo to take down Titans.

[@jota5044]

The most important factor is AoE damage. If I recall correctly, titan's attack on heroes doesn't share the same AoE that of the titan's attack on myth units. Also, if you're curious, aom only manages three types o units in regards to terrain mobility: terrain units, water units and air units. You could make a Titan an "air" unit but then again it'll be able to cross not only rivers but also cliffs. Which is kinda unbalanced I guess

[@raghavmenon6413]

I actually prefer playing without Titans cause I get way too stressed when their HP drops. I also prefer Atlas over Hecate so I don’t like choosing the Hecate myth unit regen upgrade. Also I enjoy using multiple civilisations so all in all, I think playing without Titans makes the game more fun for me( not always though).

[@amirhossain-by3nq]

[@Juria1987]

I enjoy the regen on my titan just for the fact it helps deal with `death of a thousand cuts` sure it takes good long time to regen but still better than it just slowly dying off if you forced to use it to help defend a bunch. -mind you that is worse case, it more for offense but it happens-

[@baluar46]

Regen makes the titan basically impervious to damage from buildings, since it'll regen faster than the arrows can hurt it. Pretty handy thing to have.

[@code_renard]

[@user-vc4ns6ls9j]

Imo Norse is the best against titans. Despite Atlantis having the ability to turn any unit into a hero, which will probably be used on arcuses (or whatever they are called) to atack titans from the distance, Norse has hersirs, who are much cheaper than the total cost of producing archers and turning them into heroes, so much easier spammable

[@code_renard]

Yeah, I don't know how much this translates against human players, because I don't really play competitively, but, when playing against AI, the Norse are definitely the ones that put up a fight the most, even when it's AI against AI, the Titan usually dies or comes out with a very tiny amount of hp

[@devangnivatkar2649]

I know I could just stop being lazy and run the tests myself, but I wanted to see some more heavyweight myth units in action. Mainly Avengers, Heka Gigantes and White Tigers. If the White Tigers can use their leap attack against a Titan, a bunch of them might just be the best unit to hit-and-run a Titan with. In my experience tanky MUs like Colossus or even Mountain Giants work as great meat-shields to keep a Titan occupied as they don't go down easily, while the rest of your army actually damages the Titan. Some other matchups I'd have liked to see are Ragnaroks and Bogsveigirs.
