It's all coming back to me there's so much more gamemodes too with the scenario editor... Rare Ulfsark, Cat n Mouse, Sims, Jailbreak, FOOD WOOD GOLD, Tower defense, World Map Settlers etc Can you guys remember any others? What was your fav?
I never even heard of AoM before. watching this video made me want to play it pretty badly though, almost more excited for this than Stormgate / zerospace
as a kid i loved aom as much as i loved aoe2, but for different reasons, when i wanted a more fantasy game with monsters and stuff. it was just a good depending on the mood you are.
It was a very big game back in the day. A lot of kids I went to school with all loved it. It’s certainly one of the most unique RTS games out there and I think it’s tied with Age of Empires 2 as Ensemble Studios’s best game. It’s well worth checking out, particularly for the campaign.
I’ve forgot all of my builds where can i relearn! As im older and dont game any more I’d love to get into this and get behind it! Played this in my early teen years the BEST rts ever
14:25 sad he didn't rush the red cap directly after UW. wolves would have finished the units by themselves. but also surprising red vills were able to get into TC. game-changing
Huh, the fimbulwinter says it blocks your enemy from garrison inside buildings. One of my buds who pre-ordered and got access says it’s bugged and isn’t working.
can confirm garrisoning is not blocked got fimbulwintered by the AI and first thing i did was garrison all my vills wasn't at all aware i wasn't supposed to be able to do that
@@axeldesaintalbin4922 You used to be able to garrison through it. Seems it would be a massive (likely OP) buff to it if you aren't able to do that anymore. If that is the path they decide to take though, it should also eject units already garrisoned. Would be kinda silly if everyone just garrisoned as soon as they see someone go up with Tyr and avoided it.
It's definitely working in some cases - I had at least two matches where my villagers were prevented from being garrisoned. In this particular match I believe Matreuss garrisoned his villagers prior to it being cast.
Looks like fimbulwinter might be bugged right now. Also, even though he might not have a clan tag right now, Matrieuss is considered one of the strongest players ever in AoM Titans 🙂
Skadi is bad for Odin. you 100% pick Njordin as Odin. He has Jarl tech and mountain giant odin's best melee siege unit. Norse in general struggle with sieging and mountain giant fixes that. Skadi is good for Thor because Thor has armory and is all about fast-teching armory. out-scaling opponent without dying himself as his early game is weak. Loki always takes Bragi for his timing flaming attack. In some ways Odin strictly lost because he took bad minor gods. Freyja is always better for Odin and Heimdall is one of the worst minor gods in the game. Useless myth unit+useless god power. bad tech that do nothing for Norse.
@@dodang_9147 Frost god power can literally win the game by frosting his whole army while you are free to raid the villager into idleness. Other than that frost giant are really good for their special attack
@@jeromemartel3916 it is not worth it. Odin has 15% bonus to Jaril hp. Freyja has tech called Thundering Hooves that gives you 10% hp, 10% speed. so already +25% hp to Jarls. Also buffs other cav unit. When you get to Heroic age, Njord has a tech called Ring giver. It gives 25% hp to Jarl. That is +45% hp to cav units. I am not sure if they changed this but this is how it used to work in original AOM. Odin's build order for god was ALWAYS this. People debate whether Badyr or Tyr is best for Odin because Badyr tech where he makes battering ham stronger is really good for norse siege. personally i think TYR is better god for Odin especially in retold because you want 1 GOOD god power to spam/refresh. This is by far best one to use for Odin. In original, it was probably toss up because you only get to use TYR god power once per game but in this one. it is obvious choice. This is just my opinion on Odin. The player who running ballista as attempt to siege miserably failed.
I just got into this series and found your channel on the way. Do you think you’d be able to do a video going over the basics and rules of the game for noobs like me.
It’s so funny to me that Norse get favor from combat. Enemy puts up walls? Free resource if you get 10 guys smacking away. Double value if they’re heroes
@Aussie_Drongo Einherjar is pronounced Ein (ein, swei, drei) her(woman) jar(jar of dirt) its practically same pronouncement as in english you just need to say it as you would say these words normally. If you want to pronounce any Norse things, just think about the Ich bin ein Berliner quote and think to yourself how would I say this if I was talking german jokingly
@@GARGANTUANMASKEDFISH Adding more effects, as they did in the animals of Set, does not seem to me to be a good additive to a game where the visual part is important to differentiate both units and buildings, trees, etc., which end up being annoying to the gameplay. But I agree to disagree.
Fimbulwinter is more annoying, than strong, I think that is one of the weakest T4 god powers, althou if 2 is used back to back, it can do some more meaningful economic disturbance
I am sorry, guys, but I'm really not feeling the vibe of all those "retold" vibes.. The graphics are garbage by 2024 standards. Even indie teams are doing better stuff. It feels like many streamers are funded by Microsoft, and when they can not talk negatively about the game. If they do, they share the same destiny with Age of Noob. Edit: Seem like i am alone here. AoM should be where graphics and art shine... Do you guys really happy with this? To me; it is just like a definitive edition. Nothing more.
I really don't think the graphics are bad at all, are you comparing it to what, God of War? Horizon? you need to compare it to other RTS games, and imo this is one of the best looking ones.
@@AndreyGP Exactly, in fact if it is compared against the new RTS that are about to be released, Retold easily surpasses them graphically since art is subjective.
Many streamers have been giving criticism on real issues like unit pathing, campaign models, voice acting etc. Don't know about graphics cuz if you compare it with AoE 2 definitive edition, it's definitely an upgrade
The great hero Asynchronous Javascipt and Xml, or as we call him, Ajax.
Lol
He is also a great cleaner.

I really hope there is a strong community behind this I can't wait for multiplayer and someone to bring the SETTLERS game map back to life

Settlers is such an imbalanced ass game for noobs. Hoping we get better custom scenarios and the return of scenario legends like Notund
Rivciv was better
Oh no, I don't want to see 3/4 of the lobby games being scenarios again.
@@Nathan-rt5vjMy favorite is definetly the pit of doom! Mini-game if you can remember it!
(Apparently) ringing the bell as soon as mythic came in for Victor was one hell of a badass move. Matreiuss is on fire!
Love the AoM casts and your excitement in these videos is fantastic. It’s just such a fun and wild game. Keep them coming!
Gotta see more of AoM games. New and interesting.

how many of these casts have you left to show us ? since the beta is over
enough ;)
@@AussieDrongo i hope bro XD they are amazing
Man, the switched colors on the top are such a disaster.
I get each pantheon has it's own color with a logo for each god, but damn.
Pretty sure you could rotate the map back in the day, but tbh even if you could, it is a bit odd that it starts off in a weird, offset position.
@@yumisynthia942 the buildings and shadows would be off and look horrible
❤ 7:29 that rhino 😂😂😂😂😂
really fun game. Great to see counter play agaisnt the mythic age god powers which sometimes feel impossible to anwser
14:25 sad he didn't rush the red cap directly after UW. wolves would have finished the units by themselves. but also surprising red vills were able to get into TC. game-changing
We’re gonna need a pronunciation guide in the tech tree or something 😅
The keen clan is big and comprised of players of lots of levels.
Matreiuss has consistently been in the top 10 aom players for a long time.
Would flipping the camera 180 degrees at the start let the colors sync up or would it be weird looking?
Huh, the fimbulwinter says it blocks your enemy from garrison inside buildings. One of my buds who pre-ordered and got access says it’s bugged and isn’t working.
can confirm garrisoning is not blocked
got fimbulwintered by the AI and first thing i did was garrison all my vills

hey drongo have you casted this beta any team games? interested how they play on aom
One thing I hope they fix is the god portraits at the top, they're so small. Hard to tell at first who they were playing until I saw the TC's
I love skadi's abilities. Good to see +30min game, really courius about titan clash 😂

Can you zoom in just a bit when you cast AOM?
It would be great to see you Vs BOIT in a game and cast it after. Keep up the good work mate
Where can I watch the whole cast stream??? I looked up your Twitch channel but nothing to see there!
I think its cute Drongo discovering all the tricks and treats the we day-1-AoM players know for decades ;)
Ajax is the only 1 I can always remember due to his shield lol
One question. Is the video more zoomed out than for example aoe2 de or aoe4. Everything feels so tiny when they fight
Mattreius is the best
KeeN Gaming is an AoM legend!!!
You dont miss !!! First 🙏
