When you said you casted one of my games I was a little worried you were gonna trash on me for not knowing what I'm doing since this was within my first 10 games but you kept it really respectfull and as a new player I appreciate that a lot! Definitly see my mistakes watching this, also just learned due to your cast that I can garrison units in the production buildings, I didnt know that. Nice vid mate, thanks
That's why probably everyone likes Boit. Fully masterclass strategic brain + humble
very cool.
Whats garrison
@@LKSgm Units can stay inside the building thats producing them, which is a better strategy than them coming out one by one and getting picked out without doing much damage
@@LKSgm term for putting soldiers into a building for defense.
Jotun is the original word for Giant. English is a Germanic language and Jotun is the protoGermanic word literally meaning Humans' Eater, much like in the Attack on Titan anime. The English equivalent word was Eoten.
The term Giant came first from the Hebrew written Holy Script, which talked about creatures of huge size. The Holy Script was passed to Europe through the Greeks, which use the word Γίγας/Gigas to describe just that. Then Gigas became the English "Giant" (French: Géant)
For those wondering einheri is the singular form of einherjar. So now we get to yell at BoIt for improper ancient Norse grammar.
Ah crud...
Thanks for actually zooming in so much so we can actually see whats going on :D
The Mountain Giants/Jotun are entertaining to watch, bashing and kicking stuff!
They could kick in the original too, but only limited to dwarves (probably for the memes)... didn't even guarantee killing them either, I think I remember seeing dwarves getting punted onto higher elevations and such, kinda like how minotaur's special only threw units away + some damage, not instakill.
Mountain giants have become insane! I love how juiced up all the myth units are now
one thing i really like is rechargeable godpowers. curse is so more powerful since you can curse like chav raiders and get free food out of it.
I think curse is a bit too strong right now.
@@akaMaddy So is Lightning Storm. I'm sure they will be toned down before the full release.
@@josephr4761 i think lighting storm and curse are well-balanced. they have burst power and than they're done. Hephaestus is kinda busted though for Zeus. currently with zeus increase favor rate, you can stock up 300 favor. go to mythic age. use plenty vaultx2 and you broke the game with unlimited resources. Zeus and Chronos really might be S-tier gods. Odin seems like to the best Norse god. at least everyone keeps picking him. Ra is the usual S-tier... what a surprise? I feel like Isis has potencial in retold because reusable god powers and monument blocking god power could be really goo but again, no one seems to have explored that.
The smoothest voice i Aom youtubers... I love your videos both for info and relaxing.
reminder that titans mountain giants already did this, just only to dwarves :D
Holy crap the Jotuns are huuuge LMAO bigger than a colossus
Gg artie! Was a fun one to play!
Imagine granite blood rampage Jotuns
I'm imagining it!!!
The most glorious day for the Mountain Giant!
I've never managed to get to competitive level, but as a norse fan/player its really nice to see how well they've improved the civ in retold!
I used to main Odin. My only worry is that they removed bonus damage vs myth units on Jarls. I always went to Heroic age via Njord anyway for Ring Giver so it's nice to Jotuns looking so strong.
Love your vids man. Keep it up. Really can't wait for AOM Retold. I really want to get into things and become a decent player. May start my youtube journey with it as well.
Finaly we seem to see more and more Thor games.
Oh also a question, you said that ranged armor doesnt really bring anything against norse. Are throwing axemen damage calc'd as melee damage then or something? Does the ranged armor make a big diff vs towers/tc or might as well skip it?
@@Don_Artie TA do hack damage. You can see the damage type in the UI.
Towers and Towncenters do pierce dmg though, not sure why it would be a bad upgrade for an aggr. player.
@@MoonManPictures that's accurate for sure. I guess the argument is it doesn't matter till it matters and as the aggressor you dictate when it happens so you can plan for it. But you are right in a sense!
Pretty sure the ld in Presence's name is actually LD and stands for Leader (Source: I was around in the zelda days when Haunted clan was thriving). He was one of the leaders alongside the likes of Haunted Gang
You are correct my friend :) it is a abbreviation of leader! Nice to see some old schoolers coming back!
Me, Past and gang were ldrs i guess. I joined a bit later
You came for 15:40
Thank you sir, that was funny.
My only complain for Mountain Giants is their special attack animation for buildings doesn't look as cool as it did in the old game
Por fin en jugador que usa el cerebro y sabe sacarle partida , usando unidades mitologicas inteligentemente
There are so many cool theorical concepts that were not practical in the original game like early armory, Oranos myth units, Gaia lush etc that can finally be applied now
I say again Joten are absolute UNITS
Hope they keep that upgrade in Loki where you do myth units almost instantaneously
Good to see players mixing in Hirdmen with their cavalry blobs to break the cavalry vs. cavalry stalemates
@@misteral9045 I didn't know Ulfsarks were naturally hard-counters to cavalry
@@misteral9045 Good against Cavalry =/= Good only against Cavalry
Same difference as Murmillos & Katapeltes
@@misteral9045 You should try and learn the difference between soft counters and hard counters. Adding in soft counters doesn't flip a cavalry stalemate. Adding in hard counters does
(Old) Ulfsark - DPS 9, no bonus vs. cavalry, 30% hack armour
(New) Berserk - Same, but 35% hack armour
Hirdman - DPS 4.4, x4 bonus vs. cavalry, DPS vs. cavalry = 17.6. That's nearly double the DPS of an Ulfsark/Berserk against cavalry innately. 35% hack armour
Ulfsarks used to become a hard counter against Cavalry only after you got Bragi's Swine Array. x2 bonus vs. cavalry, i.e. 18 base DPS against Cavalry
The tech now applies to Hirdmen instead, increasing their bonus to x5, 22 base DPS against Cavalry
@@misteral9045 'Adding in soft counters doesn't flip a cavalry stalemate. Adding in hard counters does' read this, it isn't hard to grasp
@@misteral9045 Then why are you even here? Stick to Voobly. Let the rest of us enjoy our cash grab in peace. Bye!
Retold action right here! 🙌
i have watched so many odin games and about 95% of odin games are Skati. It seems that prefered choice for Odin is Freyja->Skadi with an army composition of 50% -> Raiding cav, 30% throwing axeman, 20% Hensir. So in composition are like 10 raiding cav, 6 Axeman, 4 hensirs, 2 frost giants.
ukanta ui for retold could be neat.
Great casting.
wow so many new units!
I believe the plural form of Jotun is Jotnar/Jötnar
Wasnt the basic unit [berserker] for norse called Ulfsaar ? Did they change it ? Or my memory just wrong...
Yeah it's basically the same but with the name berserker now. Maybe it's more historically accurate or something?
@@BoitTV i see , well this is just personal preference , but i think its better with old name , kinda like make it more norse taste than the simple english 'berserker' imho
@@dickysatria7268Ulfsaar and Huskarls are pretty similar sounding though. It makes it more clear probably.
I know that Ulf is Wolf in Swedish which makes sense because they wear wolf skins. Not sure what the suffix meant. A Berserker is defined as an ancient Norse warrior who fought in a wild frenzy. They were probably just trying to simplify the name.
@@josephr4761 ah i see , but that kinda make the essence of Age of Mythology kinda bland imho , if they change the name even for simplification
I got interested in mythology after playing the game and read the units info and lore
This game looks sooo good!! I have to buy it
The special siege attack of jotun is bonker 🎉🎉🎉🎉 city destroyer 😅😅
I like it. There has to be some difference between giants and colosssi. It is one of them.
@@ardaarsen jotun is better against soldiers in general , colossus has better pierce armor and is more slower……he is like battering ram . Also jotun is good vs buildings but have lower pierce armor and is faster movement. Also can kick soldiers lol
you can switch player perspective by clicking the god icon on the top next to the godpowers, im pretty sure i saw that on another stream
I'm getting there. I know about it but I'm still breaking the old habits...
I never understood if the channel name is bolt or boit
Just have to hover over the age logo to see which one it is boit! (II)(III)(IIII) and tells you which age up!!
go boit!
heimdall + njord looks scary
I'm a little disappointed that Mountain Giants don't get a new skin when upgraded to Jotuns. They seem to get slightly bigger with their upgrade like titans now do.
Yeah thats kinda cheap. Did they also change the attack animation? I think the old one was a bit more brutal, this one varely holding the club
Yo Boit, do you think team games will be more chaotic in retold ( which makes them more/less fun ) ?
TGs will be more chaotic and I like the chaos so for me it's better 😂 Though generally TG meta takes a while to iron out.
Balance still not the strong point of Retold.
meanwhile scarab with his 5% hack armor dying after 3 hits from any hack dmg hero 😀
The mountain giants animations look worse than in the titans, imo
Odin seems pretty op
Thor player throw this so hard
boit 😝🔥
So whay does "retold" mean
How tf do you even stop that?
Skadi would have been a good option I reckon. Lots of optomizing to come before we can start talking about whether something is unstoppable or not :P
alot of Haetch Pee
n
This doesn't feeli like mythology any more :(
