One element that was overlooked was the Egyptian use of eclipse to boost their titan. It is a substantial boost
Hell yeah 100 attack gives it a significant advantage in a fist fight with enemy titans.
Is far better use all power early... In late game all powers become useless.. and titan almost no see in pro games
@@dragondragon5437 Who cares about pro games? None of us are pro.
Also priests Son of Osiris combo damage agins the titan, i had to use them and they did the job as well
"I am the most powerful being in existence. Even the gods tremble at my presence! But that thing..."
*recoils from a shallow stream*
"That thing scares me."
*modifies Titans so they can walk through water, over cliffs, and even over other units and through buildings, trampling enemies that get under it*
"Fear my powa!"
In AOM:Retold rivers and Oceans won't stop them.
Canada laser bear>any titan
BAWKBAWKBAWKBAWKBAWK
I’ve had the misfortune of using that and against the Atlantean’s they cast traitor on it... it was a surprise for me. Luckily the AI doesn’t know what to do with a Canada bear that very well.
@@ryankaiser2702 lol
Oh canada
GOATUNHEIM
Fire giant is a BEAST against a titan, even a mid number of them can destroy a titan alone without help (the titan and the giants without another army help) its the only ranged unit with melee dmg is underrated (+ mith unit bonus dmg)
Norse have some good units like the Jarl as well (bonus vs myth)
Fire giants are not underrated.
@@Nexotic0 Greeks too with Beast exterminator upgrade for their special units (from Fortress).
@@798jeremy Beast Slayer, NOT Exterminator.
One big thing you forget to mention or didn't know is that siege weapons are very effective against titans
Also military ships (arrow, hammer/fire and siege) with Heroic Fleet upgrade and special greek units such as myrmidons, hetairois and gastraphetes with Beast Exterminators upgrade are very good as well (but mostly gastraphetes, siege and arrow ships for obvious reasons)...
Oof… such a cold burn! “…you forgot to mention it did isn’t know” DAYUUUM SON!!
Fire siphons melt titans
If they make DE version I hope there will be upgrade for titan to cross water for every civ, or at least make him able to cross "shallow rivers" that normal units can't. It would give more "Titanic" feel to it.
AGREED
If you use the TITANIC cheat it can cross water, so in terms of tech they can easily implement it. I hope they do that in Retold.
Maybe you have to research a special tech called OceanGate at the docks to let your Titan cross water
I think a titan should be able to scale mountains, cliffs and cross water and forests without much issue. Just straight zoom across anything in front of it. It would give the titan a much more intimidating look, as a titan should
While modding something else I enabled Perseus to petrify Titans for fun. It was hilarious
Hahahah sounds great
Lul
I wanna see this
LogicialtypePerseuscanstone LOL....
Now. I want Age of Mythology: Definitive Edition
it's called EE. Found on steam
@@mraaronjosephbonnici EE?
@@JaylukKhan EE is short for 'Age of mythology: expert edition'. Found only on steam
@@mraaronjosephbonnici it's not the same thing like definitive edition. also chinese shouldnt be so op
@@mraaronjosephbonnici extended edition not expert
Love to see AoM getting an in depth look after all these years, really enjoying your content
damn imagine how epic would a titan would look while crossing a sea on island maps
Is it just me or is the sound of titans hitting each other one of the best sounds ever?
Dude, I am loving these videos. They remind me a lot of the HeavenGames articles I used to read back in 2006 about tactics and game mechanics. Keep up the great work! 👍
That name seems familiar to me (Heavengames) hmmm
@@Nexotic0 aomheaven?
Lol I was just scrolling your AoM contebt this morning. I was thinking like damn when will he upload again
;)
If you can use the scenario trigger to give the Egyptian Titan the Eclipse active than it will kill the other ones
great to see AOM youtube that explains mechanics and does mythbusting
i subscribe you from now on and can't wait for more videos
Welcome :)
- how to kill a titan
just use your own lol
Attack on Titan Seal of Approval.
Not that strong in pro games..He like large siege unit and upgrades useless who Pick Hera??Or others for small upg for titan
kinda the worst thing to do imo, the titan is so good at wiping out buildings, and a well equipped army can take down Titans no problem
Man, you have my outmost respect for making this video!.. thank you I really enjoyed it!🖒
Good to hear!
@@Nexotic0 it honestly gives me hope when I see people still devoted to AoM... it's as if we're getting closer and closer to a new one!
The Greek Titan may be S tier because it can 1v1 every other Titan, but I would argue that the Atlantean Titan is still S tier as well, because of the sheer damage output from their ability to have hero archer infantry with massive anti-myth unit damage bonuses at their side. Their ability to regenerate hitpoints makes their utility and versatility off the charts if you micro and macro correctly, and switching them out with your army one or two times can make the difference between being one or two hits ahead of the enemy titan, giving you the victory. Which you can regenerate from.
Indeen, I used my titan to destroy enemy's building, and when the titan is around 50% HP or a little less, I quit back to the base until his regeneration preparing for the next attack
While I can understand why they don't walk in the water, I think it'd be awesome if they could just do that considering their gigantic size, and honestly, I think it would just look very cool
Great content
:D glad you enjoyed
Ohhhh now I know where did Grim Dawn manticore came from! thanks!
The different damage spread is probably due to cliff difference. I know aoe 2 has cliff bonus but im siposing this is also the case for aom
Do a part 2
How well they work against an army of norse heroes, and what about of the power of Bastet, it boost the titans.
Thanks for this.
I’ve always intuitively gone for ranged siege against titans, not sure why. How do catapults/Balistas etc fare?
Not very well hahah
I can see 'if AoM DE is ever made' the simple Quality of Life change of allowing Titans to move through water.
That'd be terrifying and epic all the same, tbh, depends if it's a titan walking up to my shores or me doing the invading lmao
Siege is also effective against titans. And regarding the atlanteans being the best suited, well, also the norse with Ragnarok
The most important factor is AoE damage. If I recall correctly, titan's attack on heroes doesn't share the same AoE that of the titan's attack on myth units.
Also, if you're curious, aom only manages three types o units in regards to terrain mobility: terrain units, water units and air units. You could make a Titan an "air" unit but then again it'll be able to cross not only rivers but also cliffs. Which is kinda unbalanced I guess
I learnded more about titans reading the comments than by watching your video
Please make a video including the history of the titans of each civilizations
Lore hmm
I'm glad I always choose to watch these kinds of videos at 2 am.
Yeah lol. Its exactly 2AM here. I got a presentation tmrw and I haven't even played Age of Mythology in 10 years lol.
Imagine being the dev that went "yeah titans going thru water looks cool and all but nah let's not"
Might be too OP for island maps? Not sure
2:25 that was always weird, would be cool to see them wade, maybe at 50% speed.
So the Egyptian and Chinese titan are strictly worse than all of the rest?
Basically
If the Egyptian pop their Eclipse God power their titan can technically become stronger for a while, I think it makes the Titan stronger than the Greek one
@@ryankaiser2702 true i forgot about that. But what about Chinese titan?
@@bubberduck4964 it's made in China, what do you expect?
@@moch.farisdzulfiqar6123 😂👍👍👍👍
I actually prefer playing without Titans cause I get way too stressed when their HP drops. I also prefer Atlas over Hecate so I don’t like choosing the Hecate myth unit regen upgrade. Also I enjoy using multiple civilisations so all in all, I think playing without Titans makes the game more fun for me( not always though).
Enhijar attack boost also effects the titan very effective
I think Egyptians would be better Titan busters than the Atlanteans, mostly because they can do it on the cheap. Just spam out priests, support with pharaohs, throw in Son of Osiris for some spice. Atlanteans need a lot of resources, including favor, to do their archer hero spam.
Good alternative for Greeks, who can't spam out heroes, are Gastrapethes. Well, if you play Hades. They get that nifty anti-myth-unit bonus from a tech and are ranged, belligerent and numerous.
They could send in chunky myth units as meat shields like scarabs or hydras while their high damaging priests and archers prick the titan to death with crush and bonus damage
Egyptian Priest spam with Nephtys's Funeral Rites upgrade just works wonders against Titans to the point an army of 25 might take down a Titan in just about a minute and a bit if protected properly.
And as Norse a combination of Hersirs and Fire Giants would probably deal with them best.
Hephaestus is almost always my first choice for Mythic Age to advance with whenever I play the Greeks. Beast Slayer provides that anti-myth unit bonus to Gastraphetes *and* Myrmidons and Hetairoi too which is neat. He also has the Forge of Olympus to cut down on the cost of all Armoury upgrades in case you were behind the curve or simply want to make the Mythic Age upgrades cheaper. I can totally get behind a Hero-Gastraphetes combo to take down Titans.
I'm not even play the game and still watch this
Hell yeah
Hello from Greece and an old AoM player..
Who would dislike this bro? 😰
The guys who killed Kenny.
I main Oranos myself, and my trick was to always get a Titan with mythic rejuvenation that's backed up with Arcus heroes with heroic renewal. Makes for a pretty nasty combo against AI, though I doubt I would be any good against any players lol.
how do i get mythical rejuvenation and whatever you said?
@@anderslarsen2311 Mythic rejuvenation is an upgrade provided by Hekate that allows myth units to regenerate! It can be researched in either the temple or palace, though I can't recall which off the top of my head.
@@UltraXan Oh thanks!
I know I could just stop being lazy and run the tests myself, but I wanted to see some more heavyweight myth units in action. Mainly Avengers, Heka Gigantes and White Tigers. If the White Tigers can use their leap attack against a Titan, a bunch of them might just be the best unit to hit-and-run a Titan with. In my experience tanky MUs like Colossus or even Mountain Giants work as great meat-shields to keep a Titan occupied as they don't go down easily, while the rest of your army actually damages the Titan. Some other matchups I'd have liked to see are Ragnaroks and Bogsveigirs.
👀 Hmm
@@Nexotic0 Update - The White Tiger's special doesn't hurt the Titan that much...
Although, due to their speed you can keep kiting without ever taking a hit!
How about Eldian and Marley Titans :3
When AOM Retold comes out, pls make more content for us
can you make a video with all best normal units/unit combos in all civs (non-myth units cuz they depend on gods and you've already done myth units)
Perhaps 👀
I enjoy the regen on my titan just for the fact it helps deal with `death of a thousand cuts` sure it takes good long time to regen but still better than it just slowly dying off if you forced to use it to help defend a bunch. -mind you that is worse case, it more for offense but it happens-
Regen makes the titan basically impervious to damage from buildings, since it'll regen faster than the arrows can hurt it. Pretty handy thing to have.
Yeah, I myself prefer doing big games of 3v3v3v3 with AI just for the fun of it, and random things like getting 2 titans attacking one of my allies has happened,
Just curious, but was there any reason why the Chinese titan wasnt mentioned?
And I like that you can buy him and hero from campaign.
Imo Norse is the best against titans. Despite Atlantis having the ability to turn any unit into a hero, which will probably be used on arcuses (or whatever they are called) to atack titans from the distance, Norse has hersirs, who are much cheaper than the total cost of producing archers and turning them into heroes, so much easier spammable
Yeah, I don't know how much this translates against human players, because I don't really play competitively, but, when playing against AI, the Norse are definitely the ones that put up a fight the most, even when it's AI against AI, the Titan usually dies or comes out with a very tiny amount of hp
Was hoping for a resource/impact efficiency.
Muito bom!
What about Hersirs and Heroes of Ragnarok vs Titan?
whenever I'm Loki, Fire Giants, Hersir and the Nidhogg are an awesomely cool way to melt through a Titan's health
Its so annoying when you're playing on an island map in the tians expansion. It often turns into a wonder victory game, because it's so difficult to invade the islands that are protected by titans.
Does restoration work on titans?
imagine how cool it would be if titans could move through water but not attack while on it. Maybe atlantean titan could move faster idk. but it would be cool
So... If i want to do the achievements of player vs x ai AND the win by wonder victory achievement, i should go for atlatean with hetake... So that the best unit to defend the realm can heal itself
I refused to update any further because of a particularly mod on steam that I play and I have no interest in multiplayer
The more I’m talking about is the steam T compilation mod.
And I really enjoy a mod I have more than 1000 hours playing it that’s how much I enjoy instead of multiplayer and I am on the 2.5 update.
The furthest I have gotten two multiplayer is just looking at it
Your voice has the exact same cadences as Karl Jobst
Would you please make a video about the Fire Giant 🔥👻?
A seperate one covering it?
@@Nexotic0
Yes (if you have a mood and free time for that)
Just scored this game at value village today 3.99 🇨🇦👍😎
Mildly disappointed you didn't talk about each titan's special attack, but we all know Egypt's is the worst.
Based Protoxx 😉
👀
If I am playing as a Chinese god I will find some tank unit or a bunch of cheaper disposable units to keep the titan stable and surround it with a lot of Fire Lance units. Having a solid compliment of them in my army always turns the tide no matter what comes my way.
This arr probably some dumb questions but how do medusa fair against titans, how do sacarbs death do agains titans and what myth units use their special powers?
Well Medusa never tried but if you are wondering if they use the special power, no they dont, scarabs are similar but not as good in my opinion as colosus, because colosus can tank more, and both have big hp and big building dmg.
And every myth unit that does not one shot uses the special power, of course cyclops, minotours and those cant, but centaurs and manticore, etc they can if you micro them to use it again
If medusas can use their powers against the titan, it would be too broken lol
This has absolutely no practical use, but if you wanna have a bit of a laugh, the Über-Arkantos from the last mission of the campaign can throw Titans around with his special attack. Watching a hundred-foot monster fall flat on its face is pretty entertaining.
LOOOOOL. I gotta see that
have you tried Isis priest against a Titan? those are IMO the best cost effective way to counter a titan when you worship the god that boost priest damage
Well, Set can do the same with those, actually...didn't you know ?
Any tests about Egyptian against titian? Like a bunch of priests?
I wish I would've added that in hahah
is this remake age ofd mythology cause iv heard Chinese and atlantin thing I didn't have back than when I played it
The extended edition yes. Chinese gods are a DLC
Cool game when is it coming out
🤔🤔
Great game one of the best. but there are 2 problems with it.
Not open source so we cant make mods.
No definitive edition yet.
Btw great video
If you have the Steam version, the workshop slightly disagrees with your "no mods" part.
Even though the Titan can't hit the Nidhogg, I think the Nidhogg CAN suffer splash damage if the titan hits something nearby.
I remember killing a titan with some of these egypt crocos shooting sun beams. Man i had a good time as a kid playing this game.
Yep those are siege units, siege units are good at killing Titans
What about Norse with full Thor upgrades?
It just moves faster (not attack speed, only move speed)...and that's it.
@@798jeremy What? Thor has dwarven foundry that upgrades units with 10% attack and armor more than anyone else.
A son of Osiris+ a lot of priests is also pretty good vs a Titan and can kill them quickly.
Another thing you forgot, while Titans can't be transported they can use the Underworld gate from Apollo making the greeks the best when it comes to Titan civs.
Wrong : Titans cannot use the Underworld gate...or maybe it used to be able doing it, but because of some update patch (or nerf, I guess), I can tell it for sure, they just absolutely can't do that at all...by any means ! No way. Period.
@@798jeremy It used to be able to but I think they changed it
@@yammoto148 All right, that's what I was expecting.
@@798jeremy Cause I remember I was on an Island map and the only way I could get a titan to another island was to use a cheat code to make an underworld portal to take him there.
I think also Helios' spell can transport titans but I am not sure.
what's up with a recent revival of Age of mythology? I actually downloaded it recently.
Is there one? :o
@@ProtoxxGaming i just see more and more AOM vids, they really should think about remastering it
Wait Protoxx, plays aom?
well not currently but yes, I love rts games!
Main ones being AOM and Command & Conquer 3 Kanes wrath
Is this the steam version or the original version?
steam
Steam (extended edition)
What about priests? and Set's priests?
Now the titans can walk on water in retold
You should have seen/shown titan Vs Egyptian priests... They take it down before it can say Prostagma
Wow
My favorate is the cthonian
I think the guardian statue, Osiris and Uber arkantos can fight it
Osiris can take out a swarm of Titans, Gaurdian statue is a bit squishy so at most 2-3 titans.
For the algorithm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where are you from?
Netherlands (dutch) lived in London as a kid
If you have one god from greeks(it is heroic ages,he has the dinosaur) your titan is taking more points than another titans.
Those are Hydra myth units upon having chosen Dionysus(sy baka)
Research Bacchanalia quick as your every unit gains an extra sliver of Hit Points
@@royasturias1784 For some humans is hydra and for another humans is the dinosaur.
Skipan? Something?
maybe say that you are talking about a game in title?
I wish titans could walk through lesser units. Even if it doesn't hurt the lesser units it would be a massive upgrade, because it's just so stupid to see a giant titan getting body blocked by something small.
Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends has certain ground units gain the Trample passive to run over enemy infantry.
Or straight-up flatten infantry and builders, say tanks in CnC games or Experimental land units in both Supreme Commander games
I believe if all the Titans fight
One v one with no upgrades the Norse Titan will almost always win. Would you test this out ? I appreciate it
With no upgrades? Because the greek will always win with its buffs
@@Nexotic0 I heard something like that back then too. Norse titan's attack anination is so slightly short they win 1v1 on any titan without upgrades. Probably a myth though.
Eggy is best vs titans, stronger buildings, easier access to heros.
you miss the fact that egyptain can increase titan's speed and strength by using the god power eclipse
Yeah, my bad. :/
Why didn't you include chinese titan?
Me ( looking at given Titans ): Where's my KRONOS ?
Kronos OP
The most powerful Titan I got is the Greek one with Bacchanalia and Monstrous Rage upgrades.
Sadly I last played it in 2013. Hope I'll play it again one day.
@@charbelyounes5188 download it? :)
@@Nexotic0 i have the original on my old PC in the attic. I shall try to turn it on tomorrow so I can extract it and put it on my laptop. I tried to download it online but it didn't work.
Yeah...only Zeus can have one like this.
Hi ive noticed that u said no one can defeat a titan alone..
What if i tell you there is a way... by using DIVINE INTERVENTION 300 times on the god power of the flaming swords. U have to use the god power one over another without letting the time lapse over in that way the damage will increase and at the end you will have a unit with a damage of 5 thousand!
👀
Or one phoenix
"The nidhogg does not really do that much damage"
Folstag was wrong.
That campaign-exclusive Nidhogg *is* quite strong against the Titan, though. It's just the Random Map version that's not very good against them.
You forgot the priests. They're very good in large numbers and if protected. They are cheap after all.
Gaia titan constantly heals
Does China not get a Titan ?
How strong is the Pink flying hippo
Oh no hahaha
