Keep it up

Next video will be about units that have an upgrade button on them rather than in a military building.

will the next video be about the damage modifier which both berserks and fanatics get, when their hp decreases?

next is about 'fun'-atics maybe? ;D as a side note, for things like 5:45 where 2 separate groups can interfere with each other in the test, like with the jarls, you can make them 4 different factions and set everyone to allies except the 1 they are fighting. that way they wont interfere. bit of a faff but it might help with even more displays at once. you can even make the tested group factions the same colour and and vice versa with the other side.

Never bothered producing them, and it seems i was correct.

Criminally underrated channel.

Are atlantean citizens better than regular vills?

The only problem with Chieros is that they are too unviable in Classical age vs Norse, doesnt do enough damage to justify its pop and resource cost, katapeltes + chieros will always be outclassed by Murmillo + Turmas, and that kinda sucks, I kinda like Chieros Oranos Bite Of Shark + Hero regen/HP + speed Upgrade Fanatics vs other attie gods that has access to Atlas and Devotees of Atlas

So at least two heroes and a Zeus wonder (Zeus has an upgrade for heroes) it probably has something to do with greek heroes.

Good to see i nailed it last time with my guess. I do like Cheiroballista's, but i agree they have their issues. As for next guess... Berserkers and Fanatics both have upgrades that affect their level of power when hurt. That's the only direct relation the two have from what i can tell, so i'm guessing it's about calculating the value those upgrades provide.

Ulfsark vs Fanatic maybe?

1Luck's Reddit thread about Locust Swarm: www.reddit.com/r/AgeofMythology/comments/1g8pdzq/locusts_data_you_never_knew_you_needed/

Berzerker

I wish they would lower elephant pop 5 to 4 or let be it 5 pop but changed its bonus damaged Against buildings to infantry

To sum up, chiro sucks ass

Will the Next Video be about Increases in Damage when Missing HP? Devotees of Atlas, Hamask, etc

Great vid! Just another thing to add-- cheiroballista still technically have the siege tag, even though most of the siege upgrades no longer affect them. This means that villagers get a x2 damage multiplier against them, which is funny and very silly, but I guess on the plus side it means that Kronos gets 25% of their cost back when they die (wahoo). Also it means they can't garrison, which is honestly huge, as it massively limits their utility in defensive situations. Like other siege, they have really low crush armor, so anything doing crush damage (enemy siege, myth units, destroyers etc) will kill them in moments. I learned this the hard way when I let Norse portable rams walk into my backline and they 2-tapped all my boys :(. Speaking of 2-tapping, as ranged units, cheiros are also insanely vulnerable to turma, peltasts, slingers and most cavalry. Then there's the whole identity crisis; if we're being honest, cheiros aren't REALLY siege units, and they're also not treated as siege units most of the time since they no longer benefit from most of the siege upgrades. I think double-tagged units like this are really wonky in Retold; it's very arbitrary which upgrades do or do not apply to them. Theoretically, their niche is classical-age anti-infantry, because in heroic you can get arcus instead. But they're often not very useful in classical, because they're insanely expensive and their AOE makes them only really cost-effective against large groups of infantry, so in most classical-age fights, most of their bolts will just miss the four or five hoplites on the field. In these scenarios you'd normally prefer to have turma, because at least they can kite, raid, and won't just instantly die to two thirds of your opponent's roster.

"Hand Ballista" with Dadbod man always feature in my Atlantean armies, I like the concept! Hopefully the Cheiroballista can get some sort of buff.

You forgot about the bonus damage vs ships! Not that it matters in any way but still!!

i guess it is a nerf comapred to original aom

Great videos man, really loving the deep dives into aom

I wonder if the cheiro lost to the cyclops because it has only 50% crush armour which means taking a bunch of additional damage against some myth units. You should have mentioned how innacurate they are at long range, I've already seen these things lose to throwing axemen on spread formation lol. Btw I doubt they are goong to buff their area damage because they said they scaled too well and disabled palace siege techs for them bruh

Would love to see more videos going over exactly which technologies affect which units, in particular those that might be surprising like Petrification working for Cheiroballistae

Next video is about that tech that makes Ulfsarks give 1 favor when killed

Hero Cheiroballista (or as the community call them Hero Cheerios) are absolutely amazing in Arena of the Gods if you have the Heroic Lashing Roots Blessing Equipped (Area damage with 3 radious is nuts). Totally Carried me through some of the tougher challenges. Is next video about bonuses that only affects hurt units? Because that's the most standout thing I see the Fanatic and Berserk have in common with Hamask and Devotees of Atlas, missing the Axeman though so maybe it's only about movement speed which Axe of Vengeance doesn't give.

a video on Fanatics would be cool, they remind me of the unique zeus soldier the myrmidon. i always spam fanatics when i get mythic. great video as always, love them!

Next vid will be the best Berserk that each of the 4 Norse gods can produce

Man this unit seems like it sucks. Great video. Next one is on the ulfsark?

was not aware they had been stripped of their siege unit status. that is a shame because it made them unique and those upgrades did help a bit. so now atty basically has 3 archers? weird

Before Retold, transform workers into "Ulfsarks" cost 50 food/20 gold. After Retold, its cost is different: In actual version (i.e. with update 17.43876) transform workers into "berserks" cost 30 food/20 gold for Gatherers (15 food/10 gold for Loki's Gatherers) and 10 food/30 gold for Dwarves (5 food/15 gold for Loki's Dwarves). P.S.: Yes, Freyr's cost reduction for transforming workers into "Berserks" is a bug.

their ANT-cestor

the antiques fatguy this unit as hero is destruction tool.

why is the guy pushing the cheiroballista FAT? And yet it's so easily destroyed.. Next video: God Osiris himself

Next video about Wonders? Bring in the big mythunits!

That editing you did with the music, windup, and explosion on the Jarl was extremely satisfying ;P. Is the explosion VFX from a particular game?

Is it those unit-specific upgrades based on HP? I know Berserkers have Hamask, and Fanatics have Devotees of Atlas.

The next video will be about Oracles!

next video will be about hamask and devotees of atlas

I've been using cheiroballista a lot lately. Especially against Norse with some katapeltes in Classical Era. I'm under 1100 ELO, since I only had time to start playing it regularly less than a month ago. So I'm pretty bad at executing my BOs and strategies, but I'm slowly getting better. Although I've been using this unit a lot, I can see how weak it must be at higher ELOs, too expensive to be this vulnerable. To compensate it should have I better AoE or better acuracy (one of those 2). This unit would only make sense if you made a few of them and mixed them with other units. Never make them alone to counter infantry. As you've shown: with some frontline, cheiroballista is much better. But I'd say 2-4 cheiroballistas with arcus in age III could do a lot of work as an extra high dps unit. I like using hero cheiroballistas to counter high counts of Classical Era mythic units, and I also like using hero cheiroballistas to negate anti-archer bonuses, since most atlantean heroes don't get bonus damage from many sources.

Ulfsark next? Also, a good video would be the single unit with the most possible upgrades (Relics, God Tech)

Always loved massing these as a kid. Sad to see that they're not actually that good.

Love the in depth analysis

Atlantean hero conversion analysis?

Do you need to have the online version to play this, please show steps to get map and play

Well then make a video about the phoenix?

Hey, we played a game of Mythic Strike today and you asked for feedback on this video. So I think this kind of content* is basically like a "let's hang out" kind of video with viewers who are already familiar with your channel and brand, and are here more for your personality than the replay content. As a small channel you might not have enough dedicated fanbase for that yet, hence the current 138 view count. I would say, whether you do this or not depends on how much fun you're having casting the game, assuming you get nothing back in return. If you enjoy doing it then keep doing it. If you're looking to grow your viewership then there are probably other types of content that would be more effective for that role. * By content I mean specifically this kind of casting, not any casting in general. Because you are casting from a very humble perspective, viewers don't feel like they are being taught anything. Which is fine if you're leaning into the "let's hang out" format, but that requires some critical mass of parasocial following. The alternative is to have confident analysis despite being lower ELO. There's nothing wrong with a caster who is less skilled at playing. Professional casters usually aren't close in skill to professional players. If you're a good backseat gamer, you can be a good caster ;) You'll have to start saying stuff like "Player A is doing X, which should lead to result Y" with a lot more confidence. And if things don't go to your expectations, you would have to understand yourself where your prediction went wrong and address it. If you do that the viewer will learn and find the cast valuable.

Antcestor

I liked your commentary but it would have been much better if we could see your building UI. For this map you could probably put your face over the minimap with little detriment. Keep up the good work!

Great cast! Keep it up

Very happy you are trying new things to do in AoM. But maybe you should have always one eye at the minimap and other at the production queue to doesn't miss anything.
