Using his vills in the army was such a good idea. He already was way far ahead in villager count, plus he got the hunting equipment upgrade and skin of the rhino, so the vills were tanking!
I appreciate all the little facts you throw in for new viewers, even as an old timer. I played mostly campaign as a kid and didn't read anything, just spammed crocodiles and elephants lol. Getting into skirmish and eventually online, all the little beginner tips are new to me
"I'm gonna pay really close attention to how he sets up his Ra opening" Moments later, zoomed in on Sphinx asses "These sphinx are so jacked." lol Awesome video. Looking forward to the upload!
please do more of that reading the relics at the game start, i want to know what they are doing for the players that get them cause some are pretty impactful
I thought he was so dumb for having his villagers run out to the goldmine with no army in tow but it actually big brain baited grass' remaining army into getting killed by the SOO
Grass was focused on pushing but maybe once he blocked the red's gold mines he should to use some myth units cause red couldt made heroes (he was ran out of gold) and the vills attack wouldnt be effective, but is nice to see Ra winning
I didn't expect him to come back from that one but I also didn't expect the civillian army. No matter how big your army, you cannot keep the eggys from their gold!
I feel like high level players really need to use multiple control groups for their units. I've seen the weak backline run up front so many times when you are going away from the enemy...
From what I understand they typically use a hotkey to select all ranged army, or all hero army, or all melee army. Quite nice these options exist in the hotkeys
Norse took final fight at the worst possible time. The longer he turtles after Egypt runs out of gold, the weaker Egypt becomes (comparatively). By fighting exactly when the gold runs out he is fighting just before he has time to start gaining on Egypt.
What do you say was the better play there? I'd think, try to wall behind forts, making mass husks (fort anti ranged unit) amd mass heroes cavalry and ranged (jarls and godies) to try countering all the ranged chariots and son of osiris. But, not sure those egyps units are so strong he might just push and win before you can mass your army.
8:00 Sobek has always been the more favorable minor god for heroic ra. If you were talking about isis, sure. Medjay was simply too strong prior to retold to not pick as ra. Ancestors eclipse was better for isis than medjay's long term benefits. Sekhmet pickers are truely inspired. Lub me bonebows. Lub be gigaseige. Lub me +10 pop limit. Lub me sun slingers with electrum bullets vs norse.
I don't get why the norse player didn't make more TCs at any point when he had 100% map control. You're not outbooming Ra for sure but you still need eco and pop cap to fight him. I'd put his loss on not being able to produce enough army and not being able to advance to mythic age ever 100%. Both of those things were caused because he stayed on 1 TC the entire game.
I feel like aom fortresses etc are so underwhelming compared to Aoe 2 castles . They have zero respect , you wouldn’t DARE push an Aoe 2 castle like that without siege .
@@vladtc2732 i played the unpopular gods, i.e. gaia (before the patch) kronos, and egyptian. I figured out how to win, basically I MUST always make a second tc as soon as i enter age 2 or else its automatic lose.
They really should make foundations walkable, its stupid those building shenanigans, not micro intensive or hard to do it, its just cheese for the worse, and there is a lot of good cheese out there.
Have you played AoM: Retold at all? Its very easy to get 300 favor to replay him. Of course wonder age almost never happens but even in age 4 you should be able to play him again in a normal length game
he can't be healed and you can easily melt him with archers, SoO and Niddhog are pretty underwhelming mythic age god powers, and once you kill them your enemies will never realistically manage to gain enough favor to recast it, unless you allow them to.
@@notshane3827 pls dont compare nidhog to SoO as much as i love dragons nidhog is pure trash while SoO is really strong that aoe and divinie dmg do so much if u macro him correctly
I thought recon was a pro, yet he doesn't know how to garrison his priest into his tc to get a better shot on those walking woods, talking about a panic situation, idk what he was doing but nothing micro wise was more important than killing the siege in that situation. Pro means 95% focused, these guys play at like 70-80%. Yet to see any RTS pros, besides hera but he's a demon, don't know why people call them pros, pro in any other competitive game scene is really up there, big brain plays, small slips. I think RTS gamers are far from pro yet, as it gets more popular, with even bigger tournaments, i'm sure the real pros will come to be. The hardest genre to get good at. Even beastyqty is not a pro by standards. People should stop throwing the word out there like everyone is a pro, defeats the purpose of the words value. haha he even uses his priest to siege rather than heal oh man this is like low rank legends on dota haha. Top players in RTS, yes, pros, be real
RecoN is rank #1 player at the moment, where are you on that list? If he's playing for money he is a professional. Not to mention Retold has been out a month so you can't really compare it to established RTS that has been out for years and has players with thousands of hours perfecting the known optimal strategies. The competitive players are still in the exploration stage for this game. It's like your calling a civ in the classic era shit because you've seen one in the mythic era before. Let them cook.
I do agree RecoN slipped hard on this match but I'm sure even the names you've listed have had games like that. And RecoN still managed to pull it back.
@@georgiascarlett9679 I don't want to be hard in ranked games, already been there done that on dota and other games, I still get kicked for 'cheating' in alot of casual games, its not fun being in the spotlight all the time, I would be up there on the list if I did. Will wait and see, keen to watch the games, just no pros yet in the RTS scene, besides someone like hera, not a fan of hera, but everyone is saying pros when there aren't any yet, if this still makes sense. Iv watched quite a lot of recons games on aoe3, he is no doubt one the best and was top the ladder for alot of the times on aoe3 but I don't think he'd be calling himself pro, along with many others, all good at their own strats but not good at all at once. Im rooting for recon this time clearly

Holy shit, these villagers are like zombies at 19:00. Just "GOOOOOOOOOOOLD" as they hack at the gate.
I just left the same comment without seeing yours!
man that taps into my humor so much, big laugh haha, thinking the same thing
@@damian_bennett_ then I saw this, makes 3 of us lol
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The real comedy is that there were real zombies next to them from the mumies. But the villagers are more zombo than the actual zombo.
"I'm gonna pay really close attention to how he sets up his Ra opening"

Dat ass tho 👀
@@FitzBro 😆 totally understandable.
@FitzBro if you press ALT+T you can flip the teams in the caster mode UI. Might make things easier for you!
Wow what a comeback. I no longer doubt the power of son of Osiris lol
i think its the best "unit" god power what exist in the game
Damn, that was pretty impressive, breaking out and getting that gold. Son of Osiris really does clean up.
I love SoO. Way more fun to use as a god power than the other 'click to nuke an entire base/army' god powers.
Happy to see Ra winning a game :)
Rain now is kinda useless tho 😂
It should buff berries too
Perhaps it could also fatten animals
I would rather see him getting a new gp.

Love the stats on your AOM gg Site.
Btw: will you cast the next AoM tournament from EGCTV ?
You'll have to ask EGCTV that 👀
@@FitzBroI asked them. And today they confirmed you will cast for them again 😅.
Congrats 🥳

Prostagma?
I see you are doing the relic now thank you very much you are the best
I'm surprised to see he didn't empower much with priests. Wouldn't that make sense when he has 10 vils on a resource?
Empowering monuments with pharaoh now makes everything around empowered, so no much need to empower with priest
Why didn’t he kill the hunt on his opponent’s side with the sphinxes so that it begins to decay?
no farms no rain Ra challenge (that actually makes you win more)
When you cast norse, can you try to pronounce a random Hersir's name?
pressed that like button twice for you! :D
Wait, did you unlike?!
@@FitzBro Don't worry, I pressed like twice to compensate!
That looked like when a player comes back with Hussars against a gold army in AoE2
I think rain should fatten your pigs and cows faster as well
That's a brilliant idea!
You put iammagic youtube channel in the description instead of recon!
Thank you, sometimes the tagging gets messed up, or doesn't let me tag at all! I added the full link.
Gotta use the swarm on the farms
Loved AOM back in the day.
Newer player here.. How does the Norse player have ranged hero units in age 3? I thought hersirs were their only heroes.
Godi (plural godir) are a new unit to fill that gap. Greek heroes can also switch to ranged weapons against flyers.
Oh right. You get them from the great hall. It also trains hersirs
As Ra you still want start with animals unless they are rhino or boar, because of spread overtime inducing more walking time for villagers.
Starting berries into vill center on huntables into fast age up might be viable now
Son of Osiris is such a cool power in this game.
Yes by Ra yes...finally 🎉🎉
11:10 Lazor Gator sounds like old people's sneeze
Coughing like he's been smoking 2 packs a day since the classical age
Was Sobek really an uncommon choice? I've not seen a Ra player go with Sekhmet yet
Wonder how many Sobek mains were inspired by GGG’s rant

Wololo
Question to the pros: can I build a titan with Hades? I can’t find that in my TC
u can build titan with any god u just need to go 4 age and then make a technology called secret of titans
son of osiris was the MVP, really turned the tides of the game
That was still winnable
What a game ❤
Pet-Sue-Chos I think
I would love to his farm god power be buffed to increase all food gather. So just the food version of Isis.
Wow

I can't win a single game, even at elo 700, I guess everyone has been playing already for 20 years.

Norse could not punish Ra's greedy play. After this half of the game was just waste of time.

Man, i hate son of osiris so much. Hes waaaaay too tanky for the insane damage and range he has.
Nah, u can snipe him quite easily, a single misclick and ur 4th age godpower is gone and u will never get it again
