- Hello There Ladies And Gentlemen. Today we are playing a classical RTS game called Age Of Mythology, The Follow up to the amazing Age of Empires 2. Many would say that this is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits however today I will be using an exploit to glitch out the resources in this game and effectively be given infinite wood, food and gold. Some would say that will lead to a brilliant cheese strategy and exploit! So sit back relax and enjoy this funny montage!
This video is going to be packed with funny clips in a montage style of british humor!
If you enjoyed this then check out my other 100 stat man videos!
It is also rather similar to Robbaz , Valefisk and RT Game in style of content!
So sit back relax and enjoy this age of empires 2 / AOE2 challenge!

That sad moment when he said he'd do another AoM video if and when this one hits 10K likes, (20:55) and this one has passed 70K and you're still waiting for the second AoM video.
@Spiffing Brit
The problem is not Spiff, but the game itself. AoM Extended Edition had a patch for this exploit. And the game do not have an interesting exploit for now to just cheese the game. So yeah, it's not only him, but more "what I'm gonna say/do".
That's why we should now aim to give him 70,000 dislikes :P
@@jeremierenaud128 When? the last year it was working
@@jeremierenaud128 not having a cheese exploit ain't really an excuse when just tweaking the team distribution can give you some wacky matches like a 3v3v3v3 on a big map
As an AOM stan who plays it over and over again, I got two words to explain why it's absolutely fantastic: Odysseus' voice
I'm afraid I need to correct you on that. Ajax threatening to pull off people's heads.
for me its the ridiculous beyond words Norse villager speech of "Babymother" when sent to gather food or whatever
I prefer AOM entirely on the basis it's the first RTS I ever played and also I really like mythology
It was literally the 2nd game I've played in my life
My first rts game was Zeus Master of Olympus.
This was my second rts brood wars was my first. Love this game still play it.
Same for me I was 6 years old when I started playing this game.
Took the words out of my mouth. I think it’s still an amazing game actually, I get a game going around Christmas every year.
You complained about the AI using unfair tactics. I’m just going to appreciate the irony here.

He won against 11 Titan ai: czcams.com/video/SjjtrypJliQ/video.html I think you owe Boit 1000 yorkshire teabags. Or you can't count because there are only 11 slots for the ai.
Lure is a good god power for having some save hunt ;) Titan difficulty gives the ai +100% on gatherrate and building rate but nothing else like popcap or so.
There are not that many players online but you dont have to wait too long for game, the artwork of the game is awesome but the "new addon" made by skybox labs with chinese suck and this version have many issues. Play the original on voobly!
what are you fucking 12? Enjoy Infinty war kiddo, maybe some MLG Guides that get really loud !@
Age of Mythology was just more visually interesting to me than Age of Empires 2, and the encyclopedia even pointed out where the myths and the playable units diverged. Also, the factions were more distinct, which I appreciated.
I loved reading about the mythology and history behind different units. Even the flags in the campaign had descriptions about how they were used in ancient forms of communication, status, and symbolism. From fact to fiction, I learned a lot more from AoM than any other RTS I've ever played. There weren't as many civs as AoE, but each one was completely different in appearance and gameplay, instead of having something like +5% militia hp or +1 siege range. AoE was great, too, though (although as a kid I loved 3 more than 2 because it was easier to turtle)
this!!!!!
AoM might be worse, but it has 💫 flavor 💫
I never played AoE2 or AoM seriously. I was pretty much a kid at the time. So anything like strategy or balance has no impact on my memory of the games. However, I definitely did like AoM better, mostly for the fantasy elements and magic. God powers and mythical creatures were the things I liked to play with, and I always enjoyed mythology in general. By comparison most of my memory of playing AoE2 is trebuchets and wololo
I loved Age of Mythology more than Age of empires II precisely because each civ had unique units, and even between those civs, some factions had unique units within those civs. It made AoM much more interesting to me, whereas AOE II was so bland and boring... many civs, but same units... and just one unique unit in some.
I was also frustrated with the AI system in aoe 2 ...
It made me feel like I'm fighting Jim Carrey trolling the fuck outta me.
Spiff: "I'm going to defeat four AI opponents by cheating and maxing out all my numbers unfairly"
Also Spiff: "These four AI opponents are defeating me by cheating and maxing out all their numbers, that's so unfair"
It is bloody hard to outcheat the cheater, especially if he cheats harder and faster.
your describing every game like this including age of empires
It's also tremendously difficult even with cheat codes active such as spamming God powers... UNLESS the God power you're spamming with infinite uses is "Tartarian Gate". This is the only thing strong enough to defeat 12 Titan AI... Is just spamming that power over and over again on their stuff. And that's only if the opponent isn't Isis or anyone with a Hesperides tree, which makes this strategy tremendously more difficult.
Actually the ai doesnt cheat in any of the aoe games.
It’s one of the design principles for the series.
In Age of Mythology, the Titan AI gets double resources, but that’s all.
@@samuelmcl.9474 Sorry, but that's just not true. Titan AI not only has doubled resources, they have extremely fast building times, and can build a Town Center on an empty settlement with a single builder/laborer in about 3 seconds -- and faster than that with more laborers. I've witnessed this myself... And it's especially bad on Deathmatch settings or full visibility.
'I hate early 2000s DLC policy'
Spiff...that expansion was released in 2016
Holgast dude confused with the titans expansion and extended edition
Starting to think that a lot of people don't actually value any post-launch support. Like it all should be free because...? Appreciate that some devs give free stuff but don't bitch and moan that others don't, they've got no obligation to give you free shit just because you did a capitalist transaction with them for their product. It's especially the case with Paradox stuff, and they both give shit away for free and have other things be DLC. If it's work they did after the game was released and not stuff that they cut from the game, then you've got no leg to stand on to call it "paywalling".
@@joujou264 I understand what your talking about but I agree with the other side. If you pay 60 dollars for a game and 2 months later you have to pay another 10 for something that was probably going to be in the game before but was cut from the base to make more money then it's just unfair for the consumer. I think that there can be a happy medium with payed dlc, but we haven't reached it yet
Age of Mythology was released 2002 the first xpac "The titans" was released 2003 the second xpac "tales of the dragon" was released 2016. Extendend edition simply basic version + the first xpac and some minor changes, it was released 2014.
Yes, and Spiff is complaining about having to pay extra for the 2016 expansion.
I loved Age of Mythology a lot more because I am a huge lover of Egyptian mythology, so using mythological units was a massive selling point for me
DozenthTurmoil Same here!! Isis was my favorite, who was yours?
Acciprovus Ra was mine
jep it was funny thx to the mythologie especially the egyptian only food anubites
This was my reason too. I really love mythology and fantasy, so the "fantasy spin-offs" in genres (AoM vs AoE2, Age of Wonders vs Civ, etc.) are almost always my preference because of the theme being more appealing to me.
the myth setting sold it to me as well put I always played Atlanteans
I love AoM, more than any other RTS I’ve ever played tbh. I love the mythology and the ancient setting and all the units ab heroes and gods that come with it. Will always be one of my favs.

I was absolutely an AoM player, above any other RTSs. I loved all the heroes and was delighted with the campaign, the graphics, and the music.

Why?

What blatant exploit,
He did not fail to abuse a blatant exploit. The AI simply cheats too....
Because a fair AI is hard to make. Like really hard to make.
@@genijable I think we will soon see ml-based AIs that are fair without cheating.
@@satibel The AOE 2 HD hardest AI doesn't cheat (the standard edition ones did cheat) and is honestly pretty fucking good.
Welp, it kinda "cheats" in the way it has naturally a much better reaction time and better micro than what an human could have, but it doesn't cheat for ressources or things like that.

@@wrmusic8736 yeah instead games just got re-released with expansion packs for full price
I played it as a kid my interest is purely based on nostalgia and I be biased as hell age of mythology slaps
The cool thing of AOM was that it brought the ‘fantasy’ element to the RTS genre where there barely was anything like it before.
Youre saying believes and gods is fantasy? Pffffff
@@janmeier8018 I mean the ‘fantasy’ genre
except for the warcraft series
Warcraft 1, 2 and 3 all came out prior (though 3 only by a few months). There was also Total Annihilation: Kingdoms and Tzar.
majesty is a good one if you like aom!
The main reason why I love this game more than age of empires 2 besides nostalgia will have to be that this game made me a huge fan of mythology. I used to spend hours just reading the descriptions of buildings and units trying to learn the mythology. I find it fun to play the game once in a while and now actually know the mythology behind most of the units, gods and buildings in this game.
Also Canadian superhero bears are goddam hilarious
O CANADA
For me it was the variety of the different religions and gods in them, also Best cheats of rts games, though it was hard to beat “hoyohoyo” cheat to make priests move at ridiculous speeds
I spent so many hours reading the descriptions of things in this game. It's why I turned into a mythology buff. (Did you know that the random old man who says "Run! More Bandits!" is a berry picker? That's how deep into the detailed help I got.)
WUV WOO is great too.
The bear returned in AoE 3 along with monstertrucks pig armed bombards giant and George washington bust
jan van riel i also read all the info ingame it was a blast! honestly its my favourite game.
Computer: Builds fort on border
Spiff: That's not balanced
Also Spiff: And that's how you get infinite resources
Not to mention that is literally a strat that actual players use in PvP for Age of Empires lol
At least humans don't have all knowing micro, decision making, and cheats helping them.
@@nextgen101 so it’s not normal to have a little voice in your head telling you all those little details and exactly how to win
@@camdaman9857 you either have an AI or equisite strategy
@@limey3272 nah I got Raphael from that time I got reincarnated as a slime (she a bitch)
Well, I think I like age of mythology purely based on nostalgy factor. When I was like 9, I was extremely into greek mythology, and my dad bought me this game for my birthday so it has a special place in my heart
Age of Mythology was my favorite strat game when it came out back in the day. That “dlc” was an expansion pack released a year or so after the original and was actually a separate physical disk. 00’s nostalgia in full effect
Chinese dlc released with the steam version. releasing a dlc 10+ years after the fact on *the* childhood game for many people is like restoring an antique but painting it a different color. make it a free mod or a standalone with a different launcher but don't muddy the original product. i don't like how the extended edition makes some of the mid-day, sunny bright maps look overcast or evening time either, they added shadows and different day times but i loved the original sunny landscapes with overhead sun as a kid and i want the same experience now.
the steam version is also plagued with constant stuttering. i wish we could just play the original through steam.
my dad religiously plays this game. Every weekend since launch. Literally the only game he plays on his desktop
Heh, same for me and Heroes of Might and Magic 3 :D
"Religiously", huh? 😁
Respect
So has your dad beaten the gamr 1v12 on titan mode? Because 1000 free teabags are 1000 free teabags y'know

And it's been great. Thanks to Boit too for his regular uploads which has helped me learn a lot. Thank you for this video.
Boit's videos are great. His speedruns are awesome.
I preferred this game over AOE... the setting was way more fun and the campaign felt much more like an epic
But the neameon lion had an inpenatrable pelt so the only way to kill it was to stab it in the mouth so how do multiple not kill everyone
Also better music

I been playing this game since 2008 now its 2020.. but hey dont care its sooo much fun

Anyone remember that mission called like "unfinished business" or something where you go back and kill the Minotaur guy named Kamos and they say you have to move your base over to this other island, but you just never do it and these settlers keep making colossus' for you so you just leave and come back in 20m minutes and have like 40 colossuses and just dominate
Or you just set up a bird taxi or underworld passage to the Colossus dispenser.
You're still gonna want archers. Maybe some hoplites.
I just let the game run while i ate dinner and came back to 30 collossuses then bird taxied them over and cleaned up. broken mission either way@@JoshSweetvale

If Age of Mythology had the same level of mechanical/technical polish as AoE II, I think a number of people would have preferred it. The whole hero/myth unit/regular unit weakness triangle, heroes and myth units in general, god powers, faith as a resource, etc. was a pretty cool system, really.
There has been some vague rumbling about additional attention to the game, either via an update or via a sequel; will be interesting to see what happens if that pans out.
I loved this game as a kid because it actually taught me a ton of mythology, turned into a life long interest of mine. Also the campaign was more compelling than AoE2. When I was a little kid, I didn't even consider multiplayer so balance wasn't a concern.
Age of Mythology has a bunch of sweet custom game modes. Not to mention the single player story.
Oh my god. The campaign was awesome.
The story alone was worth buying it again on steam
+ it was my childhood so that is another thing making this a great game :D

Found another stacking glich where you have to be lucky to find 2 of the same relic, you can then put them in your temple and remove them by clicking on their respective icons, after that put them back again. Just repeat until the desired effect is high enough for you. Works with every relic, you just need duplicates. This includes reducing prices, movement and gathering speed and attack of certain units. And my favourite, cool-down of mythical units special. Just get some Cyclops units and watch the enemy’s fly ;)
Love how much more you've embraced the Spiffing Brit in your more recent videos! Really enjoying catching up on what I've missed

Brexit: *gets passed*
Spiff: *looks exploitable*
EU: sorry no deal
@@hschan5976 Also EU: article 13
@@hschan5976 thats what we want lol
(worse for the protection racket)
That is why parliment and EU won't allow No Deal, as that is worse for the EU. And we must remember, remoaners and tree hugging "compromise" leavers are literally making this happen. The ERG has been firm all the way through.
I am hoping that we won't go passed 22 May as that would mean we would have to pay more to the failed organisation called the EU to their corrupt (won't ever work) central bank system. And we certainly DON't want that. It is already ridiculous, you have this much BS to get out of a supposedly "free loving, free trade, free movement" organisation and PAY to exit. It's a farce, a joke and laughable.
In 2016, we should have not triggered article 50 and veto'd everything they wanted to do. Got our shit in order, a deal that made us better (whilst stirring up some issues for the EUP by speaking to some outward member (countries) "states") and then delivered it to Juncker and say deal or no deal. If its no, we just go to WTO rules with a giant middle finger up at the Protection Racket EU.
Then again, it will all come to past eventually. As EU have so many problems, we can easily see its going the way of the 3rd HRE.
@@METALFREAK03 Really the blame is with UK politicians. Especially the leavers that seem to have no plan at all for how they wish to leave. Except maybe if you are a Hard Brexiter and do not care of there is a agreement or not. But then you should know that those that are more soft would want actually want some form of deal. So it would be in you interested to actually get the parliament to agree on a no deal exit before the exit happens or parliament may out of desperation revoke article 50.
In the end is a mess becomes your politician in UK messed things up. You do not really have anyone else to blame really.
If you plan is on the level of the underpants gnomes then you know you have a bad plan (Trigger article 50 -> ??? -> Profit!)
+Frank Spencer Yeah, _"the EU [and] their corrupt (won't ever work) central bank system"_ is a problem, but the Bank of England was running a corrupt private central bank system long before the EU was. Brexit or Bremain, deal or no deal: The imperial oligarchs win. Time to think outside the box.
the (main) campaign is far superior to the AoE2 campaigns though. the only multiplayer game I've played back then was the original counter strike.
I don't think so, but to each their own. :)
I'm replaying the campaign right now for nostalgia, it's still great.
The campaign is really good. Like I expected a mediocore series of skirmish maps, but no it's awesome!
Jamaly are... are you me? Couldn’t agree more on both accounts
Yeah, this, Starcraft, and Warcraft 3 have some of the best story driven campaigns in RTSs
I freaking love this game, it’s nice to see someone playing it. I’m a mythology buff so I love it despite how mechanically screwed it is.
Age of Mythology has the best single player campaign, in my opinion. It's a lot of fun and power boosts are very interesting.
The campaign of Age of Mythology was miles above the Age of Empires 2 ones. Probably the best RTS campaign I've ever played.
Have you played Warcraft?
Age of mitology was my childhood, a rly good history and campaign, the other one was Warcraft 3, same thing
Oh I'm sorry it sounds like you did not BEWARE THE KARA KHITAI. THEY ARE WITHOUT HONOUR.
I love AOM but seriously the campaign is complete trash
Not that AOE2 campaigns are any better tho
You should check starcraft 1
AOM over AOE any day - I love the mythology aspect, the campaign is great and I also prefer the less cluttered graphics style of AOM. That said I still adore AOE2, but AOM holds a real special place in my heart.
I agree, i really wish they would give it a proper remaster like the newest remaster of AoE2.
Same!
The enemy AI in aoe2 is an absolute masterpiece. Instead of cheating to get an unfair advantage, the AI is actually handicapped unless you play on harder difficulties. Compared to that the AI of aom and is rather mediocre and aoe3 is even worse. Other than that I like nearly everything about aom. Wish we had a definitive version of aom too.
Totally agree AOM all the way

There's no need to fight the laser crocodiles, just get Thor to flex his epic pecs and send us forward in time to the '40s so we can defeat Hitler before he learns Kung Fu. Remember not to Hassle the Hoff and we'll be fine.
It's magic not lasers, considering it' a context of gods and titans.
It's not so difficult to understand.
This game was my childhood, gotta say I'm sad to hear nobody likes it :(
While I do now prefer playing AOE2, I still think AOM is in many ways a more fun game.
I'm not an RTS-guy, but my dad had AOM way back and it completely blew my mind as a child. The intro and the soundtrack are so nostalgic!
I'm with the whole series really. I just played the earlier two games a lot more than the latter ones.
People did like it, just not as much as AOE 2
This game was my childhood as well,i must have played the campaign at least 3-4 times. Also i played countless games against my brother using lan. I never played aoe
I still get hard when i play it.
AoM was the first rts game I ever played, i believe. Loved that game growing up! We eventually learned all the silly cheats and broke the game contstantly. Personal fave: O canada
Im also fairly certain that this game is the reason I absolutely love resource managment games and the like. Whenever im looking for a new game, AoM pops up in my head as a baseline for what im looking for
I loved this game, it was the game that got me into RTS games. The install disc was exploitable too, in the sense that once you had installed it, it wouldn't be needed again

Oh you wanted to build a house in your villiage?
Too bad the enemie's TC is too close.

This is one of the first games my dad brought home for our pc when it came out. I have so much nostalgia attached to it. Also the soundtrack is legitimately one of the best soundtracks of all time
To my fellow brit.
Thankyou for taking me back to a good 8years worth of age of empires age of mythology, empire earth and total war games too. But the first two on this list are truly legendary. I've got my old discs and alot of those games on my old desktop pc, still works too, my 8 year old son loves playing these games and learns alot more from these games than he does in school sometimes.
Enjoy your tea sir. You deserve many boxes of Yorkshire tea as a reward for this video alone
I LOVE Age of Mythology! It's so fun and unique, and I prefer its more diverse, unique factions over the samey empires of AoE2.
Same
The different playable civs in AoM actually offer different play-styles, while in AoE2 you get a unique unit and some often meaningless bonuses
Same, it is probably the best game I can think of where the different... Races... Really play quite differently, on a fundamental level.
Oh god, please......PLEASE.....do C&C Tiberian Sun. There are so many broken Units in this game pre addon (Nod Artillery *cough*), and with the Firestorm addon came even more broken Units (Reapers *cough, cough*).
That would be glorious! KANE WILLS IT!
thunderturd yeah the most games just work but tiberian sun doesnt make any sense
God yes pre firestorm arty were broken af
Just make it happen, Papa
I also remember the insanely broken Red Alert 2 Games.... Those Flying Discs that Yuri had...I loved them...and i hated them..
Age of mythology was my jam! Many many memories of broken strategies and mechanics. Good times
I played Age of Empires I and II for a while before this game came out. When I played AOM for the first time I was stunned by the graphics like: Hol' up, I can zoom in? The trees are actually falling over when harvested?? Also I enjoyed the Mythological approach and the whole campaign. One could argue that my 11 Year old self was easy to impress. Greetings from Germany btw I absolutely love your content. Thanks for playing my favourite childhood game.
I was a huge mythology, greek mythology fan. And it was like a dream come true for my 8 year old self. So yeah I liked it better than 2
侶冴え天 (Ryosaeten) AGREED
Mythology is best part of this game
Exactly the same here but with Norse Mythology
This game made me and my friend mythology fans. We ate this game up after playing AOE2 for years.
Same
Age of empires may be “objectively” a better game by design buuuuut the reason I am a bigger fan of AOM is because the mythology. There is to this day no game that allows a player to pick a civ/god or goddess, choose sub upgrades and allows the player to make freaking myth units in this way. While the mechanics may be... questionable at times the sheer balls this game has. It was the first game I ever played and I think one of the early night ones to say “next age! Now... what bonuses do you want? What units do you want?” That strategic choice gives it such replay-ability. And of course some games allow some myth units or god powers but the sheer number is impressive for a... 19 year old game. Wow 19. Now my rant is over I think I’ll go have a mid life crisis.
Imagine a Age of Mythology 2, that keeps the quality storytelling/mythology and improves on all the mechanical and graphical issues. The dream!
Age of Empires has mythology too, like the myth that Huns had atheism.
I love the Atheism Expansion where you can wait for eternity to see slime struck by lightning to become Frankenslime, and wehre sandcastles erode into existence because intelligent design is for religitards. Plot twist. In the atheist parallel univese, this comment was typed accidentallyby a cat walking on a keyboard since intelligent design is for religitards. Atheism wins again. North Koreans give me thumbs up.
@@18booma I still keep praying for that day to come!🙏
I fully agree, age of empires is the better game but AoM is plain fun
Thanks for the 19 year old part 😂😢
Director: How many times can you say "Age of Empires II" in the first minute?
Narrator: Yes.
Using "The Sun Never Sets on the British Empire" sounds legitimate for a perpetual tea time 😂
...I'm playing Age of Mythology in 2020... XD
Same
would be playing my physical copy of but dump drm broke it from playing.
Sameeee
Recon Chris me too 🤓
Same. The best in the series solely by the fact you can blast the enemy with meteors, and no one can convince me otherwise.
Same! Best RTS game ever!
I love AoM, the fact that you don't know what your opponents tech tree is going to be, due to multiple tiers of mutually exclusive choices, means you have less ability to predict opposing player build orders.
Plus god powers could be used for all sorts of shenanigans, but the game was still surprisingly well balanced.
Both story campaigns were cracking as well, and it still looks ok visually nowadays as well.
@@vantorremaxim8181
We're talking base game.
The Chinese expansion could have been good but the devs were lazy af is all.
I began playing aom when it first came out on disc form, and could only run it with the cd inserted.
Love this game, it's a comfort game to me. Plus I absolutely love mythology so this game is amazing.
I remember when the titans expansion/addon was released.
Still playing in 2022.
AoM was my first strategy game I played on my fathers computer back in the back, I always do full run once a year during winter since !
Age of Mythology is fantastic and you can't change my mind... only because of its campaign and because mythology is great. Would I consider multiplayer? No. No I wouldn't
Back in 2004 I would have suggested the multiplayer without a doubt.
This pretty much. Played the campaign a lot, never ever touched the multiplayer because I don't like multiplayer all that much.
The campaign was great
Age of mythology ''Titans'' was my very first tactical game, enjoyed it ever so much and really introduced me to the world of gaming. Don't know the difference between the two games, but I just really like the Progressive system in Titans and all the units. the campaign was also epic.
@@tomatoheadfd Titans added Atlantean civilization and added to the campaign additionally Titans were introduced. And yes the multiplayer back then was really fun!
"God I hate early 00's DLC policy"
I thought the Chinese gods were only added when it came on Steam in 2014.
It's due to communism man.
The best part of age of mythology is the opening with a choir screaming "DOGEOS"
AoM came out when I was 2, and now I'm 22 and only less than a year ago did I realize there were an entire 2 campaigns and cultures I never had. I didn't have Tale of the Dragon, Titans, or Extended Edition, so I've just been rolling with the classic Greek, Egyptian, and Norse since I was a kid. Sure I took near decade-long breaks from the game, but I still played it from time to time. I felt like I knew it, but then I was thrust into a completely new world. It honestly felt like a fan-made mod since everything was so unfamiliar in a setting that my brain found very nostalgic.
When ever I am this early, Malaysia was still a British Colony... huh, cheers
bro pergi tido la, esok kerja. Kirim salam fey.
@@copacetic90 mati plis.... haha
Age of Mythology is great because it gives you epic units and powers, and really makes your choices fairly unique.
Age of Mythology is my all time favorite game, when I was a kid it inspired my love for mythology and I still play it
I played it as a kid multiple times! So I recently got it again for nostalgia sake (In December...?) and finished it again and was looked to see if there were any rumors on updates on new game content. Then I was sad that there was no new content coming only to learn yesterday that Age of Mythology is getting a remake. Dreams do come true! 🤠
What I used to do.
- Pick Loki.
- Train a shit load of Hersirs.
- Loki's passive god power spawns free myth units when fighting.
- Laugh in a million myth units.
O m f g !!!! Your strategy Is fucking amazing AND unique!!! I imagine only a superior mínd like yours could have build such a remarkable strategy... With the exception of the whole entire world of course...
Take any atlantean civ, upgrade any human soldier to hero and execute any mythological unit you send to me :p
My strat:
-Go Kronos
-Get hero villagers (makes resources a breeze later on)
-Get decent response to opponent first wave (Such as anti-myth with hero units to counter Loki.)
-Rush to Heroic Age
-Begin palace spam (and mirror towers if I take Helios)
-Slowly warp towers, palaces, etc. into enemy base while attacking with army
-All else fails, heroic villager spam build titan gate
I usually used to go with Son Of Osiris or the Nidhogg god power....
@@nayyarrashid4661 Problem with Son of Osiris and Nidhogg is... well, Bolt.
Age of mythology is literally my childhood.
Spliff: Played this game since it came out like 20 years ago. I always play with at least 2 or 3 opponents. Ever since this game came out, I preferred it over AOE. Curious to see any of your tips because I am in awe of you and PotatoMcWhiskey. I've played Civ since Civ 1 which messed up my freshman year of college. Have never beat Civ at Diety level until I started watching both of you. I should have learned it better by now, but you guys are the best gamers.
My comment was before I watched this video. Then I'm like WTF!!!! How in the world did you even find these exploits? If you found it or got it from someone else. I probably played someone who knew this exploit years ago when I tried to play this game online. They just demolished me with an infinite amount of resources and units. I hope it wasn't you that I played back then LMAO
@@davidstreit433 14:00 hey Dave did you get a cup of tea? :))
come across this 1 year later. this game will forever be in my heart
DAVE, TEA, NOW!
The Atlantean gods aren't made up! They're the titans from Greek mythology.
Aren't all gods kindda made up?
I was under the impression all of these god's are made up.
But hey, if you're still worshiping Odin more power too you and your Pagan friends.
The gods shouldn't be the most real thing a civilization has to offer.
Gods are real not in a explicit way, but they are all over our culture and still living on.
@@BubuFilth Well in that case so are leprechauns. That'll be a cool addition to the next AoE
"OH LAWD HE COMIN!"- 90 foot tall metal man
I lost it there.
Loved this so much due to the God powers, always disappointed that the powers didn't regen.
The game is so highly moddable that one can easily add that feature into any level they like or even the entire campaign for that matter.
When I was young, my dad did exactly that, 1v12 on titan
It took literally all night but he did it
Your dad should feature as a major god in any possible sequel to the game! Astounding!
He must be using egyptian roc, petsuchos, priest, and catapult in the team migration map. They start invading the enemy home base and abandoning our base. After they migrated to the main island, we destroy their base and buld a wall around the island and since the enemy base are long, we can train some caravan to get infinity gold. Then we start to turn their settlement become our town center the you got 300 population since your enemy has 12 settlement int heir base. And for the invading the mainland, just use petsuchos and priest since their training just cost gold and favour, using roc and claim some land and after that build some temple to create unlimited priest, because myth unit and titan's weakness are hero, and priests are hero unit. There you have it, 1vs12 in titan difficulity
When I was a young boy my father took me to the city to see a marching band and I HATED it.
Sounds impossible i cant even defeat a single enemy at that difficult
@@twentychromosomes7123 He must;ve played for years, to master this.
I loved this game cause I'm a massive mythology nerd! Also, the chinese DLC was created for the steam rerelease of the game in like 2016 so it can't even use the "early 2000s" excuse. The Titans dlc, which is actually from like 04 is genuinely quite good tho
I love the cup of tea you're drinking, seriously, it's the best
Been religious sipping my ginger tea and watching your vids for a solid week. Brilliant content.
Love the video, love the game. Also titans are bound to fraction, and not to a specific god. (all Greek Gods get Cerberus, all Egyptian Gods get Ra, etc. )
Play star wars galactic battlegrounds, its age of empires 2 but with star wars and you are british so naturally you love star wars.
He definitely should. Age of Empires II is still better than that, though. Even compared to Age of Mythology, SWGB is not very good.
I have aot of nostalgia for Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds, but BOY is that game totally broken. Buildings are ridiculously tough because most everything is ranged and it still uses AOE2 logic. Troopers are pretty worthless because mechs one-shot them, and the Mangonel equivalent is so slow and has such a small aoe attack that it is nowhere near as good as the mangonel.
And this is only scratching the surface.
Or you can type "simonsays" in the text box and let that do its thing. O glorious game i loved playing as the droids.
@@samiamrg7 I can't even tell what the mangonel equivalent is.
Clunk 42 I’m pretty sure it is the thing that shoots blue projectiles from the Heavy Weapons Factory. I think it’s called “Artillery.” That building is the “Siege Workshop” equivalent. You also get AA vehicles and Pummels (aka battering rams) from there. The description says it is good against units, but it’s projectiles are slow as hell and have a pretty small blast radius, unlike the Mango, which has a decent spread and projectile speed.
This game and Lego island 2 where my first games I ever played. I remember I couldn't read that well at the time and my brother read the prompts while I played on the family pc.
Age of mythology was the first strategy video game I saw in my life and since I was always in love with mythology I still love this game even though I've never played it
