I've been picking up playing Gaia more recently and I do really enjoy it. Norse are my hardest match, so this video will help. Video quality seems great by the way.
Very patient, disciplined game. Well played! One note is that for trade production, you want the producing market(s) near the TC, and the trading market as far away as possible. Makes a huge difference in efficiency.
for feedback: i prefer those games with a commentary at the same time it might take more time to do commentary after the fact, but i think its still doable and more interesting! still great video
Yo Magic, I'm often ahead early in the game around 10 min mark because I go full army with 2 stables and 1 barrack opening.What should i focus on first with my first raid ? Villagers, buildings, tower, TC, army ? I often get the lead early but cant seem to finish the game. You could do a quick video about what to focus on when attacking ! Thanks
Sure but as a rule of thumb, villagers first if you can get to them, if not then try to pick off stray units and if not then you can do other things like destroy buildings, it’s a bit more complex than that but that’s the basics
Hey Magic, good content as always. Would love to know if it's possible to attach the replay file to the games if possible. It's really hard to find build orders for new civs to try and sometimes replays do help with that (being able to see what both of you go for). This is mainly for first person games.
You should try Hades going into Ares while getting Vault of Erebus early. The elder cylops throw is absolutely broken if micro'd. I've killed swarms of 30 archers/slingers with 3 cyclops throwing units at them
Hey Magic, have you experimented with Gaia's reduced resources for Hero Citizens bonus, could it be used to keep up with Thor? Assuming one keeps making hero citizens through out the game if your resources permit it.
magic could you make a short video explaining how you get into and take out the villagers so fast in TCs, towers, atlantians houses etc. I guess it takes practice but it looks always so simple, may be there are some tips with hotkeys or commands
I would love to know you thoughts: "Individual" Techtree for Minor Gods I wish for another change concerning the techtree: It would be so great to have the possibility to make a pre choice of the minor gods which then lets all the units and techs these gods don't have disappear. What do you think? Would you need this at all or is it not neccesarry for you? I think it would be great to understand the possibilities and weaknesses of your choices better, but also just makes it easier to get an overview. PS: When you play team ranked only the player who hosted the party can see the techtree. This should be changed also^^
Would you like to share your hotkeys? A short video of what and why do you use and hotkeys, I'vs been struggling with that part of the game because I haven't play RTS as much as some other game and this game has more hotkeys than anything I'vs seen so far.
Have you ever experimented with Rhea against Norse? Although giving it 2 seconds of thought you obviously don't need the arcus armor upgrade and the other tradeoffs aren't worth it just based on what I'm seeing Huh kinda answered my own question. Oops. I'm just thinking +20% hack armor vs Norse seems really funny
Two things to ask; 1. is stationing 4 oracles enough to make favor in mythic age? If not, how many oracles are recommended? 2. I can see that you made only fanatic and arcus on human units... are they only ones to mass produce in atlantean's late game? If not, which addtional unit of kind of you recommend to make?
@@IamMagicAOM What about the units from the barrack & counter barrack (aside from arcus)? Are they not worthy to make? Just make 10 palaces and mass produce fanatic and destroyer? Hmm, that will cost lot of wood and favor indeed... 😅
Obviously I'm not as goof as IAmMagic, but I would also Contarius are quite good to make, especially with all the upgrades they get from this minor God path. They are really good at raiding with the enhanced slowing tech.
First, I’d like to say I’m new to your channel and love your insights. Thank you! Also, has anyone else had an issue in multiplayer where you can’t see any upgrades in Thor’s dwarven armory or husbandry, pickaxe, and hand axe? I am not playing with mods, I can see that stuff in a solo skirmish, but can’t see it in multiplayer matches.
@@VividSoulSagei had the same issue, i deleted UserProfile.xml, found in C:/Users/[your user]/Games/Age of Mythology/[steamid]/users then relaunched the game. your settings and hotkeys will be lost so take screenshots of those before doing this.
I upscaled this to 4K, let me know if you guys see a difference
why 4k? lol
@@DajuSar thought it might be more clear for some people, let me know if it didn’t make a difference
@@IamMagicAOM unfortunately I don’t have a 4K monitor UnU
I don't have a 4k monitor either but it looks more clear If I switch to 4k, yeah.
I watched this on my 4K tv and yes it helped alot, clear difference in sharpness
That move running his entire army into your base and locking down half his army in the summoned trees...wow haha
This is high quality gameplay from both players there! Thanks
Epic! Never seen a match last this long post Rag.

Ah true yeah

@@GoldenSkeeter Hi Skeet!
Nice. Not too many people showing first person gameplay
4K Magic? Sign me in
Great stuff, ty
for feedback: i prefer those games with a commentary at the same time
it might take more time to do commentary after the fact, but i think its still doable and more interesting!
still great video
I watched this in 4k, sick quality!
you should commentate more while showcasing your gameplay. Love to hear more of your take on the game at hand. fw it either way though

You don't use control groups for units? only 7,8,9 buildings?
I’ll make another video for you guys, lots of people have been asking
Damn really nice game

I don't think it will keep up with the Thor eco, but I could be wrong!

@@IamMagicAOM that's perfect thanks

4k looks great. pls upload or send even unfinished version of excel spreedsheat for aom
Almost done will upload it soon
Do Classical age Atlantis units need a buff so they don't gotta rely so much on contarius?
@@itswakkowarner I think they’re not too bad, maybe a small buff to the cheiro
i was wondering when the scouting pgs/goats/cows would return.... i feel like i have not seen people do that a lot in retold.
Herdable button go baaa

He's got a whole video on his channel about hot keys
Yeah I’ve shared it before but I can do another one for you guys later

I like Theia a lot and the Behemoth is a very situational myth unit, so not sure if it's the best choice

Late game 6 should be good, I think arcus, fanatics and destroyers are really good

@@hawkster8951 lots of things are situational depending on what your opponent makes and also the map layout, it’s not that straight forward many times
@@IamMagicAOMOh, I see. Thanks for telling!

One of my friends had this issue. Reinstalling fixed it but that can't be the only way I'd imagine.
@@aeonstar293I’ll try that
A reinstall did not work, hopefully I figure something out. I’m at a loss

Hold up, you can garrison oxcarts?!?!?!?
Yah!
Shouldnt fanatic heroes + an answer to throwing axemen beat norse ? In the late game at least
Yeah that works, I do think Norse myth units are better though
Giants, battleboars meanwhile for atlanteans the caladria competes for the top myth unit spot of the pantheon
Apm too high even for yourself to cast 💀
Ngl watching you pros play in first person gives me motion sickness or something, hard to watch how fast some of you can move.
