    Fire Giants definately S tier, they attack fast, hit hard, their special is strong, they are a ranged siege dmg unit (they have crush) decent health at 600 but incredible armor. Their only flaw is speed and they slow to build, but I seen just 3 fire giants destroy an entire front line, easily.

    • @vagueeeee139
      @vagueeeee139 2 месяца назад +8

      Problem is building fire giants are hard if the enemy knows you’re rushing that type of unit. This is why most mythic age units aren’t S tier just because they’re not strong but most of them require too much investment and by the time you do, you’re already done.

    For Medusa, the tooltip doesn't say "instantly destroying myth units", it says "instantly destroying most units". And by most, they mean only human non hero units. Myth units are no longer destroyed. They will turn to stone shortly, but then they will turn back. The duration is much shorter than Frost Giants disable.
    Unlike the Frost Giant special, I think the stone gaze does initial damage. So if 5 or 6 Medusas targeted a Colossus, they might even kill him with their combined initial damage. But it's definitely a huge nerf.
    Another problem with Medusa is that if you mass them and enemy has only human soldiers, the auto targeting isn't very good. So multiple Medusas will target the same enemy, wasting a lot otherwise free kills.

    I think Cyclops should be way higher simply for the fact that it is strong against buildings. That gives you a good siege unit that can tank arrow fire while breaking towers or barracks fast.

    • @starcraft2own
      @starcraft2own 2 месяца назад +3

      Issue is, this is made by a really high level player. The cyclops would be quite easy to take down if you're ready for it, and obviously anyone at the very top of the leaderboard would be. So in a sense, no, it's not a good siege unit because most gods can quite easily deal with it before it can do any damage.
      Of course, for us peasants, it's a very strong unit. But that's how it works sometimes.

    In regards to cyclops, yes they are slow, but the age you first start getting them means you can have a meat wall of 4-5 at a fairly good rate with tox and 2 heroes supporting, and pestilence to shut down defensive building arrow fire. All that has to fought with classical age units.

    • @TheRealMrWolf
      @TheRealMrWolf 2 месяца назад +1

      Yeah, they can be like mini Colossi in classical age, except VERY cheap and they cost food. They're very slow, but if you get a few, they're basically unkillable by non-hero units when they come out. They can also be upgraded and Elder Cyclopes are a menace. I think the only problem they have is that heroes are now more accessible by most major gods.

  • @karnak4188
    @karnak4188 2 месяца назад +11

    Cool video so thanks for it, but I have to disagree with many choices. I will try to explain my view and choices. I think overhaul your arguments were fine about them, but the tierlist is a bit weird built. At the end, you should have tried to place them according to several criteria, or to put forward criteria beforehand to have a better universality in the choice of each tier. For example, S is ''very strong / close to op'' (you could have make a S+ for true op so something that need instant nerf for example, but atm i don't see something like that except maybe centaur and i think it's more S than S+) if everything is op then nothing is really S. A is ''good'' so it's a very good choice that is most likely going to happens in most games but the unit is not that strong/op. B is ''situationnal but good in the right situation'', C is ''underwelming/very situationnal'', D is ''bad/don't use it''.
    I think fire giant is definitively S tier, I litteraly won a game because i killed so much toxotes with them, their special with micro is really good.
    I think Sphinx is not a B ! At worse A if not S, the guy is litteraly almost more picked than anubite (especially after serpent nerf, while eclipse is still great), I think his tornado spin is a bit worse than before but other than that he is the best early raiding units for egyptians, so yeah A is probably fine.
    Most myth units special abilities deal less damage overhaul, some benefit from it (like mummy) some don't (like avenger or medusa). I think Medusa being S is not accurate, they deal 400 flat damage, it's enough to one shot most human but not myth. They are decent with a good micro but S tier ? Nah. I don't see them as ''super strong''. They are a good counter to myth unit so A with good micro.
    The fact you mentionned some upgrades but not all of them is also weird. For example cyclops with upgrade are really strong (both ability and AA with aoe damage), while unupgraded they are meh. With the recent buff they are definitively a decent choice, probably almost the same power as minotaur now (better late, less good early to raid). Centaur is a bit op atm in comparison so definitively the best of the three. I think minotaur is still A BIT better because his powerspike in classical age is stronger, but with upgrades cyclopes is definitively way better..
    Petesukos is a bit underwelming in my opinion, doesn't deserve A but more B, the buff is a good direction but i don't find them as good as a chimaera (who deserve A tier) for example. Same for phoenix : both greek and norse are better against air : greek hero attack air now and godi exist for norse. The damage feel a bit weaker than before.
    I think Lampades are decent but probably not A tier, i found them situationnal, the chaos ability and metamorph (upgrade) is probably not strong enough in this stage of the game. With a good micro maybe it's not bad (like medusas) but yeah... A is ''good'' not ''situationnal'' for me. So I think they deserve more to be B.
    Avenger is probably B in my opinion, their special damage feel so bad now. They are kind of squichy and despite being a bit fast I think they overhaul dmg is too low now.
    I think cyclops are higher than C, at least B tier, when I compare them to wadjet and automate they are way more useful. Not to mention they cost FOOD and are greek unit, so you can have a lot of them fast.
    I think Argus is more B than C. Yes the instakill was pretty op before but they wanted to get rid of it for every unit and the new ability can be useful to control the map, if they guy doesn't move he will take a ton of damage, you can cast it on the ground so with a bit of micro it's not that terrible. Probably not that strong but C is very dirty, the unit itself has a good mobility and damage output. I compare him to chimaera : he is very close, he have less burst but more damage over time and zone control, but he is better at killing things, especially after chimaera nerf. So in my opinion he is close to chimaera but a bit worse because chimaera burst while he deal more damage over time so you have more time to react.
    I think frost giant is more A than S. The unit is powerful but not that fast and their dps is a bit slow. Same for Colossus, i found the unit strong but it is ''super strong'' ? I don't think colossus has more impact than Chimaera, it just depend of the situation. Mountain giant taunt is really good, so i think S can be fair. He is a bit slow so not that easy to use so it's why I wonder if it's better to put him in A and not S but on paper the ability is so powerful...
    After the nerfs I think hydra is more A than S. Definitively S the last patch, but now it's a bit longer to have full heads. The unit has a insane potential but it's very snowball : if you are ahead, you will be more ahead, if you are getting your myth killed fast, you won't be able to have a big damage output. The chtonian upgrade make them very powerful but in 1v1 pvp you won't be able to sit down and wait that much for them to be recover full hp if the player know what he is doing. Still a great upgrade ! Maybe they are still S, but I think they are less powerful against a good player. But with bronze they can be amazing, but if you think about this synergy for hydra, you need to think about other synergy for others units for example. (Scorpion men with eclipse and sphinx with eclipse, so why you put sphinx in B ?)
    Apart from that (quite a lot lol) i agree with others myth units.

    • @TheRealMrWolf
      @TheRealMrWolf Месяц назад

      I really think he forgot Sphinx have upgrades, which makes them great through the entire game. And they're FAST. AND Bast has Eclipse, which combos so well with them AND every other Myth unit (since he talked about combos too). While upgrades are annoying for them, they only cost 120 gold from then on, which is a bargain.
      Medusae are very strong if you micro them good vs. basically everything, especially expensive human units, but it's ridiculous how Colossi or other giants counter them very hard, because they just don't do enough damage. But when upgraded, they become insane imho. Tanky snipers with overall decent stats. Similar to Lampades.
      Yeah, upgrades are important. Very important. Cyclopi can be like mini Colossi in classical age, except VERY cheap and they cost food. They're very slow, but if you get a few, they're basically unkillable by non-hero units when they come out. Especially Elder Cyclopes are a menace. I think the only problem they have is that heroes are now more accessible by most major gods. Also Sphinx and Anubite are both incredibly upgraded with upgrades. Anubite is only a harasser and Sphinx is only a defensive unit without the upgrades. He also forgot that Minotaurs now have AoE special compared to original, which can be pretty op vs. someone who wants to defend their backline. But they're expensive.
      Petsobeks (upgraded ones) are very good though, if you manage to keep them far back, as they can hit from a screen away for decent damage. Just need to be kept away well. I've played and seen games where the opponent couldn't do anything basically, because Midgols and units were in the way, and a few Petsobeks just fried everything that came out.
      Lampades, like Medusas, I find are the best vs. expensive human units - chiero, elephants, hetairoi, any cavalry, fanatics, etc. One doesn't do much, but three microed well can turn the tide of a battle in a second. They also have VERY fast recharge on their special.
      I don't think Avengers are bad, as despite them being squishy, they only cost 250 food, which is nothing at that stage, food being the most accessible resource. If you use them for charging between elephants or other "tank" units, they can do lots of damage and go through the frontline, directly into the archers (and can't really be kited). They are pretty squishy though, so if they're focused, they can fall quickly. Wadjet is basically only good early, but it can be very annoying in early classical fights, where poison shreds infantry. Automatons are just not good vs. human players. They're fun when massed in defense though.
      Yep, Argus is very similar to Chimaera when not upgraded. When upgraded, Chimaera Tyrant has more of a burst damage, while Guardian of Io has a really good and spammable map control ability, along with Lighthouse's vision range xD They're both extremely strong when opponent blinks or loses focus for one second though, as they can kill entire armies.
      I also find Colossus is basically just a very tanky giant, because with all of the units being buffed in Retold, his damage doesn't hold up anymore. The first one you get from aging is always a treat though. Frost giants are basically stun bots until upgraded, I would also put them to A or even B without Skadi Rime upgrade (like with Hel), as they just don't do much damage. I think a unit like Medusa does everything Frost Giant does, just much better. A few Frost Giants well microed can be very nice though, especially if opponents have squishy high attack units.
      Hydras are a bit squishy if not first farmed well in a defensive fight or something. As you sasid, good potential, but can be disappointing in 1v1. I also think a fully upgraded Sphinx with Eclipse is much easier to get and pretty comparable to an average fully upgraded Hydra, while a few Scorpion Men are just by all means insane, even without Eclipse. I'd just like to add Avengers with Eclipse - no upgrades required and they're world beaters. Get a few and nothing but heroes can stop them for a minute.

  • @2nightwehunt
    @2nightwehunt 2 месяца назад +37

    As a big fan it was a lot of fun hearing you talk about this...however as a tierlist purist this just isnt a good tierlist xD It so shifted towards the top its hard to really gain any knowledge from the list. If so many units are S tier and A tier that pretty much means none of them are trully S tier - if a unit of the very best tier can be matched by a third of the units its not really that amazing...Dont get me wrong its a great video - I am only suggesting to be bit more critical in future tierlists and reseve S and D for the absolute cream of the crop and the absolutely useless ones.. because the tierlist and the placements are always in the context of the other items on the list it really should at least mildly resemble Gauss curve..if so many are S then S pretty much loses its meaning. *Even if all myth units are generaly good* youre still rating them compared to each other - the myth units being good just becomes the new baseline.
    I personally would also kind of specify what the criteria are - is it pop efficency, deathball potential, cost efficency, number of good matchups, how often they're used..what are the main feats youre looking for in a myth unit. For example the Medusa - if you'd randomly get 10 of them in a game they're obviously amazing but I've never ever seen any to player make more than 2...theyre so expensive and also pretty situational - in my opinion that makes the Medusa nowhere near S. S should be you can always mass this unit and it's always at least decent and mostly great.

      @mrp4242 Месяц назад +1

      I would agree with this post.
      I find that often the best tier lists use a bell curve, with ‘B’ being the average units. So B should have had ‘the most’, with ‘A’ and ‘C’ tier slightly less, and a handful of S and D--those that are truly exceptional, and those that usually should be avoided (not truly ‘F’-failed, but would normally not use). Some make tier lists that are relatively balanced across all grades. This one was massively top heavy. Like ‘Syndrome’ from The Incredibles says, ‘When everyone’s special, no one is.”
      Of the 39 units Moose ranked (no water units like Kraken or War Turtle); he put 12 in S and 16 in A--so 28 of 39 or 72%, whelp. Perhaps a standard bell curve list might have had, say, 5 in ‘S’, 9 in A, 11 in B, 9 in C and 5 in D.
      None-the-less, I thoroughly enjoyed Moose’s video…so you do you.
      D tier ones for me would include the Automaton and Wadjet. I don’t (probably unpopular opinion) actually put Roc in D tier as it is entirely unique; there is no other flying transport in the game, so I put it in C-even if you otherwise might generally avoid it.
      S tier ones for me would include the Valkyrie and Colossus; probably Centaur since they seem to be a consensus; Im just waiting for their eventual nerfs.
      I would love to hear your tier list on Minor Gods.
      Cheers.

      ​​@@mooseaomalso the tier list MUs should be compared to other MUs of same AGE and how does the alternative choice (across Civs) compares to it.
      For eg. when comparing Cyclops and Centaurs, they're completely different playstyle. Centaurs require a massed numbers to do a meaningful damage, which is great, however you need to sink in that many resources and time in doing so. While a single Cyclops can do a meaningful damage, and be a crush damage dealer, IN AGE 2, which is niche ability that is sorely missing in that age is not matched by any other Age 2 MUs. Thus, IMO Cyclops should be S tier while Centaurs are at best B.
      IMO, Age 2 S tiers that I can say for Age 2 are, Cyclops and Valkyrie.
      Also as much as I love Colossus, they're C tier, may be B at best, and in no way an S tier. The type of damage Colossus deals is scratched by so many other units, it's completely replacable as an Mythic age unit, it not even noticable.

    @TheGuardianofAzarath 2 месяца назад +5

    I really wish the devs had caught that animation bug where units being picked up by the cyclops and kraken float 5 feet away from the hand/tenticle holding them. With gargarensis, it's even worse: When he picks up a unit to throw it, he goes through the animation, but the unit doesn't move, not until the throw action actually kicks in. No way that should have made it past the beta in to full release.
    I've actually released a mod that makes Argus, Cyclops, Kraken, Medusa, and Gargarensis special attacks instakills again (like they were in the original game). The Mummy still doesn't instakill, but i did up the amount of damage the poison effect does over time, so no matter what the mummy curses, you're usually garunteed to get a minion out of it. And the reincarnated minions don't die.
    Is that a bit broken? Maybe. Do i care? No :P
    Personally, i'd put the fire giant as S tier, as in groups, especially if you upgrade them, they're lethal, and move frost giants down to A. Wadjets i'd move down to D, as i have never been impressed by them. they die very easily. Krakens are definately S tier, even if their throw attack no longer kills human units by default, their capsize attack is still an instakill.

      @@abbcc5996 no they still do that, it's when they grab human units and when cyclopses pick up human units, the units are floating in the air a lot further away from the model that is picking them up than they should be. You can see this if you go into the editor and test it. With Gargarensis, it's even worse; he doesn't even pick them up, he just goes through the motions of throwing them, the unit he's throwing just stays where it is until the actual attack is executed and it suddenly cartwheels through the air. It's VERY noticable (which is why I said i'm surprised it got past beta testing)

They are absolute skirmish assassin units, no one can out-speed a pack of Fenris wolves. You can use them to raid key positions and go away, if microed correctly there is no way that they cannot choose a fight they won't win.

    Such a good unit especially if you teleport him on top of mass ranged firepower like toxotes.
    He also deals so much damage that you can actually kill heroes with him, not cost effeciveily mind you, but especially if you have 3 or 4 of them they can be really tough for the opponent to deal with.

    Imo you should compare them with their techs on since you're going to get them if you plan to play around such units.
    The difference between a non-teched colossi/chimera for example is kinda huge.
    But to be honest I would simply compare minor gods, because there isn't a case where you're going to select your god solely based on the myth unit you're getting, some are low tier but get insane upgrades, some are insane but get bad upgrades, it's a whole package to choose.
    Regarding the myth units I'm almost agreeing with all your choices, only for 3 of them I'm totally disagreeing with you:
    1&2)I think that you're overevaluating piercing abilities like Draugr, most of the time you're going to get 2-3 units aligned at most so its dps is actually fairly low, I'd consider it a B tier, same goes for manticore, it's just a slow/more expensive centaur that doesn't feel like it's packing a punch.
    3)On the other hand, teched trolls are one shotting squishy units in aoe with their boulders AND bumping units in aoe, I don't know why you don't put them S tier as most pro consider them one of the best age 2 myths.
    Some other minor modifications that I'd do:
    Frost giant & medusa -> A tier
    Lampades -> C tier (very very low hp pool, special is medusa from wish, no dmg/armor)
    Centimanus -> S tier (way too much damage and crowd control and tankiness)
    Automate -> D tier (garbage)
    Cyclops -> B tier at least (good overall/cheap unit with a good special for early skirmishes)
    What do you think?

    Moose, love your videos, but this one I think you could do it differently.
    Be more context sensitive, like rating the units in they real life aplications. Looking at upgrades and the minor god powers etc. Maybe a tier list of minor gods makes more sense.
    If you have a list with half (or more) avaiable options at S and A tier, maybe you can remove B, C and D tier ones and rearrange S and A tier with comparison with eachother. Specialy getting their class right, with age and cost in perspective.
    Some mith units are siege weapons, some are control (like lamps, argus, etc), some are splash damage, some are special effect (like mummies), and you can think more classes than I do. But put this in perspective. Your knowledge of the game is way deeper than you showed us in this tier list.

    You should do another tier list and make it so that each of the three options per age for each civ are required to be in separate tiers. It would really help to identify which are actually better picks on average in relation to each other. When everything is S and A tier, it essentially means that nothing is...

  • @justincronkright5025
    @justincronkright5025 2 месяца назад

    The Cyclops AoE tech is what changes it for that myth unit, I think early on there is the Minotaur window due to favour cost & not necessarily needing the unit's unique tech. But later, I'd rather make multiple tanky cyclops there with that 40% over the previous 30% hack armour for a Hades army especially... but also to boost the tankiness of a Poseidon divine damage Prodromos/Hoplite army (throwing units with a huge AoE damage kills enemy archers).

  • @ShadowTheHedgehogCZ
    @ShadowTheHedgehogCZ Месяц назад

    When you put Argus against Fafnir, Argus completely dominates the dragons. His special has been nerfed to the ground, buts he's now surprisingly tanky, and has a very good damage against myth units. I was surprised how well he does in combat by just auto attacks. I think he has 3x multiplier against Myth units. Most other myth units have 2x multiplier against other myth units, or no multiplier. Like Mountain Giant.

    Lampades attack at halve the rate of a normal unit, and chaos doesn't reassign who they fight so your units and the chaos target will still attack each other in a brawl, the unit seems very micro heavy which is hard when things get chaotic in the mythic age.

    Stymphalian Birds definitely aren't what they used to be and much, much easier to deal with now I think. Also yeah, Chimera got a CRAZY special now.
    EDIT: I also don't know this for certain but they did buff Fenris Wolves right? I feel like they used to only stack damage in a pack, but now they stack damage and MS. I definitely agree though, there's very few myth units that feel 'bad', especially with upgrades- I feel like Sphinx are pretty nice with their upgrades. I love how units like Mountain Giants, Fire Giants, etc. have gotten a facelift with new upgrades or techs (Dionysius and his Hydra tech)

    ,,more favour for Oranos,, : I dont know if this is a bug from the german translation... but Gaia with 1 Favor upgrade got the same amound as Oranos.
    (0.8 -> 1.1 for Gaia / 1.0 -> 1.1 for Oranos. I guess its something related to max line of sight)
    Argus : i guess its kinda nice to let your enemy retreat? Im not sure about this but this looks like a situation where you can damage the enemy without any risk since hes retreating
    also : Great Video

  • @rovelfox7832
    @rovelfox7832 2 месяца назад

    I feel the Fenris Wolf Broods should get some sort of activated ability to give them a little more value. They did so for a few other myth units and I think just having something would be enough to make them more worthwhile. Part of me feels like they should have been a Classical or Heroic age unit rather than Mythic as they don't quite have that heavy impact that other Mythic age units have.

  • @thorveim1174
    @thorveim1174 2 месяца назад +4

    for the Fenris: yes you need more than one, but its helped by their very low cost for the age. that, and they arent designed to be frontline myth units, but a harasser and a killer of backlines. Yeah maybe a big group of priests can kill them, but priests have to catch them first, and with their speed in a group, thats just not gonna happen unless the guy using the fenris let it happen. I would still leave them in B as they are very situational as a myth unit, but when used within that niche (as a VERy heavy cavalry that moves as fast if not faster than light cavalry) they can really be a nightmare to deal with
    As for the boar, I also see it as a very useful frontline. Its health is high, and it also has 60% defense to both pierce and hack, which is very good values

    • @rovelfox7832
      @rovelfox7832 2 месяца назад

      I feel they should give the wolves some sort of activated ability to give them a little more shock and awe factor. I really love using them as fast cavalry or raiders, especially with Bragi's runes, but I feel they are a bit lacking compared to some of the other options.

  • @hendrikwause4440
    @hendrikwause4440 Месяц назад

    It really depends on every god you're playing.
    If you play Loki or the DLC God (I think he was called Freyr?) you have access to Hel, where you get all 3 giants in the mythical age. And there you can even upgrade the fire giants instead of when you would play odin where you can upgrade the frost giants. But back to my actual point... Loki and Freyr are so overpowerd as main gods of the northern faction cause auf Hel who has not only access to all giants but ALSO to the nidhöggr. That is easily one of the best possible choices for the mythic age if you play northern folks inGame.
    And with each god having a bonus (i think it was zeus with having 200 favor in the old game and reduction of popularity prices or for Seth to convert normal animals into his army if i remember correctly for example) you can really build your own playstile around each faction and what suits you best.
    By the way I admit i forgot about the lions and always picked the other god alternitives to progress cause i didnt remember the stun ability. Nice to know that sometimes you can still learn something about a detail that you overlooked the entire time.
    Great video to clarify some things for me and defenitely giving some creatures i had not on my radar up until now a try or two and a lot more value.😎👍🏻

      Centaurs and minotaurs are so much better because you get immediate value out of the free one you get, you get value out of building a few of them only, you still get good value from massing them. Cyclops needs to be both massed and upgraded to matter, and on top of that if you can build them it means you chose the worst age 2 god power that Greeks get. I don't think you can call A tier something that comes with so much opportunity cost.

    Lampades in its current state feels buggy and clunky to use. The Chaos ability doesn't work as expected most of the time, affected units barely even attack when they are moving and have enemy buildings around, and only Transfiguration is worth of microing but is behind an upgrade. I believe they should be B tier in this tier list, extremely expensive, they require heavy macroing, they are squishy and you have to be really close to the enemy to cast something, it feels horrible to cast Chaos on an enemy Colossus and watch it do absolutely nothing... they were powerful on Titans expansion when the Chaos effect was permanent.

    @brabebhin368 Месяц назад

    Unfortunately medusae and colossi are not S tier. They scale really bad in numbers. Stacking 2-3 mummies is essentially a slaughter, so is stacking 2-3 fire giants. Imo any myth unit that doesn't have an AOE is pretty much outclassed by others unless there's some serious utilities to the table. Stacking 2-3 avengers is also a death sentence even for heroes.
    So fire giants should be S tier, colossi and medisae A tier.
    I do agree that nemean lions are insane. There should be an S+ tier just for them.

  • @toufexisk
    @toufexisk Месяц назад

    I disagree with the frost giant being S tier. The Nemean Lion is just better.
    Freezing a unit gives it loads of armor so its hard to kill. And stopping a soldier for a bit makes little difference in a fight.
    So its only good if you can hit an enemy myth unit. But frost giants are still somewhat slow, by the time they get to that unit they might be dead or take a lot of damage.
    But the Lion can stun the whole army for a short while. If there are two or more that stun really drops the enemy dps to 0.
    At the same time the stunned units dont have additional armor so your army can tear into the enemy units freely. And it can easily turn the tide of battle.
    I dont think we can compare them as equals.
    Then again I'm still a noob, my approach is a theoretical one.
