A Novice Guide to Age of Mythology | Zeus

Ойындар

This is a very general guide to Age of Mythology. I try to touch on everything to some degree but this video is mostly just a stream of consciousness so it might not be amazing. Let me know what you think.

    Age of mythology was my favorite game as a young kid. It's been something that I always played either alone or on LAN with my close friends and family, and even then I didnt play much after age 10-11. Finding this channel has been awesome and rekindled my love for the game, and this video is awesome for someone who played the game as a young kid non-competitively. More Please!

    Please, PLEASE, do a version of this for hotkeys!! I'm a generic level player from the old days, but I never really learnt some very important hotkeys, such as: screen rotation (when you check wood villies, but are able to reset the camera), garrison units vs. repair vs. empower, setting villies to build regardless of damage taken, etc.

    Yes more guide videos! I don't play online (usually too laggy to enjoy) but the things I have hard times with are water maps (just didnt play them much) and when to make trade caravans, and how many (also in AoM:EE the waypoint onto the TC you want to send them to doesnt work and they just spawn at the market and so I tend to forget that I have to manually send them all to trade). Like do I send some vills with my army to free up space for caravans, do I get 80 vills out, then make 20 caravans, more caravans for egypt than greek or norse. I feel like a large improvement for a lot of early/mid level players could be found from proper utilization of markets and trade caravans.

    Hey Boit, really appreciate all you do on your channel and for the game! You’re the reason I’m back into AoM as an adult after loving it as a kid. Videos like this are really helpful cos the speed at which you and the other top players play is so fast it’s sometimes hard to pick up everything. A video I would like to see if possible would be about the mid-game decisions. I’ve seen you mention a couple times about it being better to stay 1tc or not advancing etc. this may be tricky as they’re reactionary but understanding why you’d choose to certain things as the game develops would be helpful. Also sometimes you’ll say a “semi fast heroic”, “fast mythic” stuff like that and maybe just a quick summary explaining the times with which they fall? Fast mythic feels self explanatory but when is that good and why that. Maybe I’m just rubbish and chatting out my ass but would really appreciate if you could cover something like this. Cheers mate

Also did't understand what is the golden rule at 21:46 "Once you have a 115 supply at houses, in the classical age, that's the time to build your armory" does it mean when you are at 115 population? maybe i'm hearing wrong and maybe it means when you get to 150 wood in classical build armory?

    Coming over from aoe2, there’s a lot i don’t understand. 1 - Why is it more beneficial to send vills all around the map gathering hunt, when you take in to account walking distance and not actually gathering. And also leaving them vulnerable to attack. 2 - how do you execute builds and get similar timings if RNG or map type screw you over and there’s next to no accessible hunt. It feels like there’s no exact build orders in this game 3 - why make so many production buildings when you don’t have the eco to maintain constant unit production from them all

    Maybe I missed this, but is there a time when the goal for 80 vills over military isn't optimal? Usually what I've been doing on 1v1s (like Ra Heroic, for example) has been 60 vills (30f 20g 10w) and put the rest of my pop toward military (usually because better units use higher pop space) If you're going an infantry-archer build like Zeus it's not as major but if you're adding cavalry or some other high pop unit for a power spike (usually 3+ pop) the extra villagers will only give a surplus of resources when that pop can go toward army.

    is this the original version of age of mythology + Titians expansion? I have the age of mythology extended version on steam (not with the Chinese mythology expansion). Is there differences I should know about if I got this. Is the steam version bad or what and is there a way to play it without the original CDs? I got this game (steam version) on sale just before the retold edition will come out. Please respond as soon as you can if you want to.

    This guide was done on the original titans game however it is applicable to Extended Edition as well. The steam version isn't 'bad' it just has some features that make it far less competitive than the original game such as networking. That being said, if you play someone fairly close to you (geographically) then you'll probably have a good game.

For that amount of time, I don’t even *want* a remake, I want a sequel factoring in how long it’s been since the original and then adding on a wait that goes on until possibly 2026.

    Could you run through a single "meta" build for each civ... Ie (explain what the specific civs strengths are and generally how we take those advantages with said civs into practice with each build.) An example would be in an Isis gameplay.... I am never really sure exactly why or when the prosperity is useful as I under stand it is a strength of Isis; whereas Ra is alot more simple to use/setup rain to your advantage. Or how to abuse Hades and his stronger archers/buildings, or Kronos with time shift shenanigans. It would be amazing to see more "walk through builds" that anyone can go back to to refresh themselves on the general meta.
