Basically, what it says in the title. I play a lot of matches against AI due to having pretty spotty internet at the best of times and a lot of the matches can feel very similar to each-other namely because the AI just doesn't use Myth units at all.

Anyone here know of any decent AI mods where Myth units are more of a factor?

I tend to end up doing stuff like building proxy Apollo temples, going for Heroic Renewal/Mythic Rejuvenation, and resting next to my priests/valkyries/healing spring during all and any downtimes. this means I hardly ever choose Dionysus/Aphrodite/Heimdall. what would you do if you had to choose between a healing/no-healing minor god?

I keep seeing people say how they hope AOM retold only sticks to the original 3 civs. I can understand those who want to exclude the Chinese, but why the titans expansion too?

Is it because the Atlanteans are a fictional civ that are basically just the Greeks part 2/ the Roman's with a weird paint job?

Is it because people think they're unbalanced?

I also see people don't want titans in the game.

Do all cultures play about the same? Ie. In StarCraft the different races have vastly different playstyles and vibes.

My basic understanding is: - Norse are more offense/rush oriented. - Egypt are more defense/boom oriented - Greece is versatile? - Atlanteans are also defense/boom? - Chinese are also defense/boom?

What major differences exist among the major gods in each civ?

I know hades is archers, Poseidon is cav, and Zeus is infantry - what about the other cultures?

THEY DID

We did it kings, queens and gods!!! No more copium!!!!

PROSTAGMA! IT IS HERE IT IS OFFICAL!!!!

First announcement of the stream is AOE Mobile. Not looking good for us today, boys and girls...

EDIT: NVM ITS HAPPENING

Does anyone have a good source for getting started?

I love the Tyr's cult because he gives me two units i love: Jormungandr's Elvers and Fenris Brood.

Jormund E are really good as water units. But instead i find Fenris Brood kinda weak. Their passive is good but they are too squishy and they often they can't use it well because they die. They fall super ez in battle in the late game phase when they are unlocked.

Is there a strategy to use them well or they are utter trash?

Coming back to this game after many years because I just can't forget it. Dived straight inyo the editor (extended edition) and I swear there was an option to make a map that was fully painted with sand/snow/rock/water etc when creating a new file.

I want to make a giant map that is fully ocean, without having to paint the entire map by hand which would take forever. Is there not a way to do that?

I watch on YouTube and Boit seems to know every favourable unit match up

I've been playing quite a bit of random maps recently and I've noticed on water maps (particularly team migration) that the AI are way less aggressive and advance at a much slower rate than non-water maps. I understand that they need a transport ship in order to attack sometimes, but I still find it odd that they advance much slower. Does anyone know why this is?

Which unit in the game do you think is the cutest in appearance and sounds? My vote goes for Cerberus, triple doge go brrr

Hey I was just wondering what is everybody's fav unit and why? Ideally not units that you can only spawn once (titans, son of osiris etc but greek heroes are ok)

Personally for me it's unfortunately impossible for me to choose between Gastraphetes and Fire Giants since I use them the same way as anti building units that aren't siege engines. Gastraphetes have amazing range and great damage but a gang of Fire Giants can easily decimate a whole group of the enemy's troops in a second if they all use their special ability at the same time

Really? I've been playing this game for years and now it's demanding I download the ToD DLC or it just quits the game. I have no mods installed either. Judging by the reviews for the DLC I have no intentions of buying it, I just want to play the original game I paid for.

Oranos turma can at 5.5, but Gaia ones can't at 5.0, but what about stuff that is 5.3?

As I understand it from Ippert's amazing excel file, most ranged units have a track rating of 5 meaning they hit anything with 5 speed or less - is that correct?

And only a small handful have a track rating of 6 meaning they can hit 6 speed units (priests/ Greek heroes).

So are you telling me it's a case of any unit with speed of 5.01 can't be hit by anything except priests and Greek heroes?

I using a Ryzen r7 6800h, Nvidia 3060 mobile 140w When there is situation like defend an ancient wonder which are 4 or 5 titans and 300-400 units, my fps drop from 35-48 to 12-18

Settings are maxed out and resolution 2560x1440, and if I use 1920x1080 I have the same problem. Go down from 165 or 144hz to 60hz but same

I tried to change some settings from Nvidia control panel, and had set 3060 for aom but no way

It's ridiculous since I can almost play cyberpunk maxed out at 90 fps (with dlss)

Do you line them up side by side or do you put them close to each other with little spaces in between?

Im trying to get better so i would appreciate your insights and experiences

I place mine randomly which blocks my units a lot of the times so im trying to have a plan when i start placing my military buildings

Hi all, I am playing AOE EE on my surface pro 8, the CPU is i7-1185g7 and running latest windows 11. I can load in the game no problem, but the game constantly crash, and the timing seems quite randomly, sometimes it crashed just 1 minute in, and sometime it may last like 20ish minutes. Besides crashing, the game sometimes went into the intro loading screen (with the aom splash and the bottom bar saying loading assets stuff) and the game resume. Can somebody help me plz :)

On Boit's Youtube when he watches recs he has a specific caravan counter displayed, but I cannot find anything that you can use when you're actually playing.

The whole, play it by ear, stop building them once you have a thick stream is unreliable, and often leads to me deleting excess ones in the late game, when I realised I went "too thick".
