[@drafo789]

For anyone who wants to actually try this: be careful with your boats, on any difficulty higher than Standard (aka Easy) the AI will frequently assault you on the water with their own navy, and if a transport ship dies so do all of the units within. Transport ships have no attack of their own but a few warships scouting ahead ought to be enough to protect them. I half expected our lovely teamaster's massive army to get ambushed by some ships and sink beneath the waves, where no repairs can reach them. :-(

[@AtomicArtumas]

Honestly, this strat probably works better on a pure land map anyway, it just requires a bit more forethought and activeness since the AI will actually function properly. Depending on the map, you can do stuff like block off paths with forests and whatnot to block the AI from reaching you, or just turtle up with a decent amount of ranged units, towers and whatnot. (depends on difficulty) - Then just use the various methods to get infinite gold (AoM has tons of ways to generate infinite resources in a limited area), stockpile tons of gold and favor, then just delete literally everything but automatons and spam hundreds of the things out - The more pop space you have available, the more you can generate due to the time limit on repairing them. Then just attack-move across the map with your horde of 3-400 robots. (Or if you're playing with the SP pop cap of over 1k, literally like thousands of killer robots.)

Before Dawn of Soulstorm patched it, you could di the same thing with Necrons, build a ton of Immortals, which were ranged and powerful against vehicles. In large numbers they could be good enough against troops. So build a t2 unit in huge quantities, kill them and then orb of resurrection. Except it was even more broken because the units would revive in partial squads, not always in the same squad. So a squad of ten could become 3 squads of 3, which would reinforce into 3 squads of 10, tripling the unit total.

Deep breath, and sigh. ... .. . I remember when I could make wood appear from thin air. Thanks for bringing it up.

You can never have too many villagers!

Very fun game and video of course, I especially love the use of the Witcher 3 fighting music lalalala

Another perfectly balanced video to watch with a lovely cup of Yorkshire gold

So your toad in the hole is way different than mine! Neat, I love globalism now! Thanks for the video

[@AMDGBananaBen]

Spiff has great taste in games... and tea!

[@blamecap216]

I really enjoy how you just break games

[@AdamantErinyes]

This was SUCH a good game. I didn't know they made an updated version!

[@NATEBRO16]

Yay! I commented on your last video asking for AoM, and you did it! I can clearly control your mind and will use my powers for evil. Now, Spiff, go drink a cup of tea!

[@pikating4485]

Finally been wait you make video about this😂

[@ELCoulter]

I remember doing this with the first one. Also did a similar thing in "lord of the rings, battle for middle earth" You make a squad of elves/tower guard Use a trebuchet(or ent) to kill all but one. Repeat till cap Then give all of them a banner. This lvls them up to two and they replenish troops. And bam. Endless wave of elves/tower guards. Or lore accurate amount of uruks seating helms deep.

I haven't even played with the Titans turned on yet, and thanks for breaking my favorite childhood game 😂 I'm already pissing off my friends I'm trying to get to like RTS games, but even back then I thought the Titans drug out the game too long when it's a bunch of evenly matched players

Llamas were the backbone of this campaign. Lovely.

[@silverwolf2761]

Haha. Of course, I loved these Automatons as a kid. They got a fantastic facelift with Retold

[@dogwithsunglasses4051]

Love this game, its actually my favorite of the AoEs. It only had 4 factions but every single one was truly unique

[@tmurpkiller]
