Is Ragnarok Unstoppable in Age of Mythology Retold?

So obviously Norse is not invincible, you can definitely put them on the defensive throughout the game. But what if they can build up a nearly full-sized Ragnarok and support it with reusable Frost or Flaming Weapons?
Where are your gods then?!

This makes AOE2's Flemish Revolution look tame lol!

[@NakamuraRTS]

Rag goes hard

[@lothar3073]

New Frost animation is incredible.

[@666diametro]

@@lothar3073 eu preferia a antiga animação. Era mais sútil

[@298AOM]

I'm glad to see that Ragnarok is still so powerful in Retold; it's one of my favorite god powers.

[@royasturias1784]

Now with female models coz female Gatherer units on the field

[@mermanofeternia]

I'm glad you took my advice about turning off foliage haha

[@NakamuraRTS]

That was super helpful. I can see the animals and farms!

[@rodrigoklai2651]

did a FFA game as hades against a guy that did ragnarok 5 times, as soon as he did it i spammed hypapists/toxotes and could hold him, then he would train cavalry as fast as he could but i had 25 chimeras waiting, needless to say all the horses died instantly (we both had about 700~ pop)

[@randomargument972]

12:10 Now units can push other units out of the way, i've seen infantry or something pushing catapult away few steps back while catapult was firing at enemy

[@Ephryad]

Я не понимаю , почему божественная сила должна быть настолько имбалансной как рагнарёк ? Она по мощи как 10 божественных сил 4 уровня. Разработчики имеют глаза вообще ?

[@33mavboy]

Yeah most people don't know you can save it once it disconnects and load as a scenario to continue playing

[@KevVIII]

I gotta wonder how to counter this as Egyptians. Do you just need to outplay your opponent before Mythic, or can you manage to hold them off with enough units once Ragnarok is initiated? Now that villagers can be automated floating 50+ villagers won't be a problem, meaning that you literally get 50+ heroes once Rag is called.
I can imagine as Greeks you want to go Hera anyways so you always have Thunderstorm option. I guess as Atlantians you could do mass hero rush yourself when you see that your opponent wishes to initiate Rag. But Egyptians with clear counters I cannot imagine what kind of forces you would need to bring Heroes of Ragnarok down.

[@LeviathanTamer31]

I imagine if you notice them building for Rag you go Axeman? Just with Base Champion Axemen, that should be 26 damage per swing against the Heroes of Ragnarok given that they are counted as Infantry. It might not be a perfect counter, but it's better than nothing.

[@wingardium999]

I see Retold has been implemented the pathing of AoE3DE 😂

[@M10Commander]

I can't believe they kept Ragnarok the same in Retold, the god power is just too unhealthy for the game imo.

[@NakamuraRTS]

I have to say I'm a little surprised they didn't change anything about it, but honestly, it's hard to top the epicness of throwing the kitchen sink at the end of the world.

[@Bishox]

​@@NakamuraRTSi feel like 50% would be maybe balanced ?

[@33mavboy]

Should be a one time use, would make it more balanced with other powers being unlimited

[@Bishox]

@@33mavboy i mean a 2nd one would never be cast like, if you dont end the game with the first one its done

[@qwerty222999]

Perhaps they could delay the activation by 30-45 seconds, during which time the player activating it is not allowed to attack or be attacked. During this delay time enemies get some space to mount a defense and produce counter units.

[@devangnivatkar2649]

Good old Rag

[@NakamuraRTS]

It's back, stronger than ever

[@dnaseb9214]

Can you stack 2 Finbul Winters ?

[@NakamuraRTS]

I haven't gotten to try, but you would need a team game for that due to the cooldown.

[@dnaseb9214]

@@NakamuraRTS
even with the wonder up you cannot use it twice ? without the first one ending

[@NakamuraRTS]

@@dnaseb9214 I've not seen anything that recharges faster than its duration even with that, no.

[@qwerty222999]

I imagine Fimbul Winter still blocks other God powers from being used, and just like the classic game, having 2 players using Fimbul Winter after one another seems doable just fine.

[@ayou055]

have you tested the eye of the forest tech for loki? what does it actually do? cause the description seems to be full map hacks but i've not seen it in action

[@catius781]

I hope they fixed dumb caravan that always stuck on his way to market…

[@catius781]

I noticed that units can move others on his way and can’t be stuck that good

[@vonzler1994]

dead animals in the grass should be highlighted with a red outline or something.

[@VVivocci]

o Wait ,I thought the beta was over on July 14th 😱

[@NakamuraRTS]

Yes, but this is a highlight video from my beta live stream.

[@TheJuliusCo]

We ddint need aom 2 building interface

[@echo.ichigo]

Is this old recording? Or you can also play now? How?

[@NakamuraRTS]

It's from my beta livestream in the weekend. You and many others would have missed that, so here's the video highlight!

BabyMother

[@TheJuliusCo]

Clothes look like if it was the idustrial age wtf

[@Logan_Vl_legion]

Ragnarek cool !!!)

[@LaughingCoffin-ub3oo]

which rag is better thor or odin ?

[@NakamuraRTS]

I'm gonna go with Odin's so long as you can afford the double Frost. Regeneration on these heroes is nuts. If you can micro them, they get huge returns from that. But definitely Flaming Weapons ones with full Thor armory would be busted as well.

[@LaughingCoffin-ub3oo]

@@NakamuraRTS yeah actually Thor Eco faster then Odin too ima go with Thor then 😅
