You don't want to fight mission 3 on Titan regularly. I'm not even convinced you can. The 'initial attack' is something like 8 Hippikons, 4 Bull Minotaurs, a bunch of hoplites, and Shades. God knows if it keeps that up.

quote:And, needless to say, he was not a wimp who "forgot his spear" as the bio of his Age of Mythology version amusingly states. The bio doesn't say 'forgot'. It says 'lost'. The fact that he can still beat the hell out of people with decent damage unarmed speaks well of him. His damage is listed as 8 base. Ajax with his giant mace is 10. Arkantos is 9.

Multiplayer is a very different beast to single-player as well. I've been vaguely watching various bits about. Fighting the AI, it's one thing to use counters and win, but players won't engage you at all. It tends to turn into lots of horses or equivalent and raiding, due to sheer mobility.

anilEhilated posted:drat, that's a shame; this is what I ended up disliking about AoE2. Are there any historic RTS games where actual tactics come into play? Total War series, I guess... Depends what you mean by 'tactics'. A unit counter system? Resources that CAN or CAN'T be raided? Production that allows for you to continue even if you've somehow been cut off from a resource? Units that CAN or CAN'T get away if you've managed to catch them once? I mean...You cite Age of Kings. There's a reason Knights and such ruled the roost back then-they packed both mobility and power. More than this, in Age of Kings and in Age of Mythology, you can completely starve a player, utterly shut them down, if you can keep them from a single resource; Gold. Is taking advantage of this 'cheap', or 'sensible'? Bloodly fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Feb 4, 2017 |

anilEhilated posted:I was thinking more of having to employ actual strategies. You know, use the terrain, fortifications that control the surrounding area and so on. Age Of is really just sending horsies to enemy resources while the enemy does the same with yours. A lot of games give terrain bonuses/penalties. And using fortifications is a standard. The thing is, those fortifications also need to be able to be taken down. I've been playing Empire Earth 1 and 2 lately, and my thought is it might potentially provide what you're after. Especially 2, where it's fortresses are absolutely brutal murder machines, and are often required to control a province fully(The game uses an odd system of map control-the map's all divided into 'provinces' with their own names. Some might need merely a City Centre. Others will need a Fortress in addition. Buildings go up faster in regions you control properly. There are hard limits on what you can build where, and how much, so you must expand.) Warning: The AI is known to be an utter cheating bastard, as in 'it doesn't even try to hide it'.

What do you expect from the equivalent of a mod campaign. The people who made this aren't Ensemble. Not that 'Ensemble is God' or anything, of course. But you can't expect the new stuff to gel with the old stuff no matter how hard it tries.

Cythereal posted:The Egyptian campaign also varies up who the patron god is a lot, between Isis and Ra. Even the help notes that the Ra/Set thing was probably a clash of early cults that then got turned into this massive thing afterwards. Much like the Egyptians themselves, the Egyptian part of the campaign up to and including it's gods, is basically doing it's own thing.

quote:but faster if empowered. It's not a direct speed boost, mind you. It's just the Pharaoh makes them more efficient via their 'generate extra resources on drop-off' part of Empowering. Also those numbers and that page have the implication: Priest Empowering via Ra is equal to Pharoah empowering'. But the Priest info on that same site states Priest Empower is half as effective, so those values come down a little. Ra's Pharaoh also come up a little in that case, as it's 25% vs 20%.

Slaan posted:But why would you ever NOT use laser crocodiles? When their fire speed is too slow and their damage too weak(They do 1/4 damage, before his own Pierce armour, which is base 50%) to take down a chain-lightning spewing demigod with a massive damage bonus against laser-crocodiles and protections against the same. Up to 300 damage(60 base, x4 vs myth) chain-lightning is not to be trifled with. Even a human army is going to suffer terribly. And the enemy has 3. It's almost hilarious, really. Titan is...really, really ridiculous and don't think it's actually kinda easy because Melth makes it look like a joke. Even if you know what's coming, dealing with it is...oy.

Resources, generally. Of course, it may be given some by trigger.

The campaign AI tends to 'spawn' troops rather than 'train' them. That sounds like semantics. Think of Isis Hear My Plea; you get given them. This can break the cap and cost nothing.

Poil posted:I've never managed to beat it above normal difficulty. Don't feel shame in that. Take it from someone who regularly feels inadequate in gaming. Even the jump from Normal to Hard can be rough. And Titan regularly tends towards the BS. Bloodly fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Jan 13, 2018 |
