Dude I'm using ur raiding odin's strategy, but with Kronos rush going to classical age at 2:30 and training turmas really quickly to harrass opponent's villagers, is completly fun! I'm learning a lot with you man, thank you so much!
The first person really elevates this even more. To have a high level player commentate on a game is already golden, but to listen to your thoughts while you're playing is the absolute best for studying the game! Thank you so much!
I'm very new and you honestly made me love this game more than i ever did, just the sheer amount of strategy and knowledge + chill content is refreshing. Also bonus that despite having garbage apm watching your vid made me go crazy apm while browsing on my pc lmao
Thanks for the video. I love playing Atlanteans, but I wish they'd change the way you get favor. I was thinking something like HRE on AoEIV, stick the Oracles on towers and they get extra vision and DMG.
great video once again! one thing i have not seen used is the gaia tech for movement speed on lush works like creep in sc2 abit yeah? altough more difficult to set up but it seems pretty handy in a game u need to move and react with ur military. like cav on lush move really fast with that tech!
my god that play was so clean and calm, even more impressed then i was before. and that caladria cheese was nice lol, hadnt thought of that 3 things - i as a noob - want to ask/mention 1) You did not went for unit upgrades, is there a rule of thumb for you when to get these? 2) Maybe you are over cautious with the TC now because of recently bad experiences? the 2nd TC bot there was fine imo, because this game you did not overpush and so you can just translate your advantage into a second tc 3) i didnt know u streamed, i followed you on twitch but havent seen you on there yet, do you have a regular schedule?
Hey, 1) I didn’t feel like I had enough economy to add anymore upgrades in, but I did get medium and bite of the shark, I should have definitely added armory upgrades later on. 2) it’s possible it was fine but I’ve just had so many bad experiences take a tc, in most games it just feels like it’s better to get mythic than take a tc, however my opinion might change as I keep playing 3) yeah I try to stream after work so around 6pm est, however on days when I’ve had a really rough day I skip!
Theres a new feature in this game that i wanted for so long lol, put your unit in a group, then put your rally point on said unit and they would automatically get added to that group, if you have multiple unit double click unit to select all of them then add them to group
I use mostly the 'select all military' hotkey and the 'find all idle military hotkey', I went over it in one of the setting videos early on but I think this is an important topic, I should cover it again at some point! I also use 'select all heroes' and 'select all ranged units' these hotkeys are built into the game, I have them positioned on my mouse. (i'll cover it for you when I get a chance later)
@@IamMagicAOM Oh cool, I'm trying to use these too. But when I watch your videos it seems to flow so well that I thought I might be forgetting something. Thanks for the answer!
What are some good ways to leverage Gaia in team games? So far I've just been booming while my teammate(s) go early aggression and then finish out the game once I'm at mass. Love this format by the way, you are very concise and clear with what you do and why. Good Job :)
Gaia is my favorite, so this is such a cool video! Can you suggest how you would punish people that go two tc as gaia? So like they go 0 army, throw up the tc instant they hit classical, and then just let their tc/towers and god powers protect them and then build up to a stronger heroic. I struggle to counter that.
Prevent them from taking external hunt, some gods can siege them down like Zeus with restoration and other civs might have to take a second tc themselves Tell me the match up!
Hey dude, could you move that "following/subscribed" notification to either the left or right of the screen for future videos? Right now it appears dead center and can get in the way of the action.
the galadria trick aggroing archer fire is very useful and makes the archers pretty useless if the enemy doesnt micro. Same thing with rams aggoring arrow fire in AOE2
@@IamMagicAOM 10k! That’s pretty unique. Isn’t that really high for RTS? I’ve found most people use 1k - 2k. Do you feel it’s better? Yeah I’d be interested in seeing a apm counter. I saw it on beastyqt stream thought it was cool to see. Anyway great videos magic look forward to more content this is one best aom channels out there.
no DLC new gods chinese and chinese mythology addons have appeared in that game yet is the studio dropping the Chinese Gods from the DLC add-on this year or saving it for later, maybe they are waiting for the new year, what do you think bro
@@IamMagicAOM awesome to hear! I remember you from seeing your games casted on boits channel way before retold was a thing, glad to see you still in the scene!

"i need him to come into me, i want him to push into me" 10:20 truly a quote for the ages
hah
The lost Atlantean history of love.
Explaining what your doing while playing the game is insane. Great work.
Love to see Gaia being played! Looking forward to a future guide from you. Thanks for uploading this!
she got buffed pretty hard! she feels decent now
@@IamMagicAOM this makes me happy!!
Thank u for uploading these matches, u help a lot of people
glad to hear!

I love this video format, your fantastic are talking through your decisions while playing. I can finally get insights into how my hero operates.
The first person really elevates this even more. To have a high level player commentate on a game is already golden, but to listen to your thoughts while you're playing is the absolute best for studying the game! Thank you so much!
I love how you explain the placement of all your buildings.
Very entertaining game, I also like a lot how you go through your thought process, it's so interesting!
Good job Magic
The Retold professor. Quality video... you're spoiling us. I followed your thoughts/decisions really well.
Thanks !

Great video, so much to learn from. Impressive commentary too
I learn so much from you every video and Gaia is my current favorite god so this was perfect for me ❤
I was also thinking that commenting a game while you're playing is hard, but you really did a great job. Loved the video, thanks you!
Love the fp vods! You could think about making amother channel to upload vods on youtube, just an idea (unedited of course)
Nice video!
Can't wait for more of this, More oranos, more Ra, more everything! Hope you have success
Love videos like this, it's great learning from a pro's perspective.
Thanks for the video.

Mans makes it look so easy

You may not have won the Red Bull tourney but I bet you brought a lot of eyes to it. I know my buddy and I watched it because you mentioned it.
Thanks for the videos man! Keep doing what you do :)
Wow this is awesome content for those of us that cant catch the stream live on twitch
Excellent content, thank you!
Awesome game, while commentating! Thx!
love your content you are so good at explaining i hope we see a gaia guide soon
Great content, please keep it up! :)
Nice videos! got me into AOM multiplayer
Nice. Love your games and explanations.
Magic, I see that you create groups among troops quickly, and can manage them masterfully during, any tips on how to do this? I'm new to the game.

@@IamMagicAOM Do you know if there is a way to exclude hero villagers from selection when using "sellect all heroes"?
I can barely que up villagers and talk so this is just artful

Tell me the match up!
quick aesthetic suggestion, put your follow alerts in one of the corners, feels very intrusive when theyre in the middle of the screen
You’re right I need to do that !
Great video!
I dont own aom but with listening to this content here, i really want to get into it :D
Hey dude, could you move that "following/subscribed" notification to either the left or right of the screen for future videos? Right now it appears dead center and can get in the way of the action.
Oh sorry about that, I’ll try to fix it for the next one
the galadria trick aggroing archer fire is very useful and makes the archers pretty useless if the enemy doesnt micro. Same thing with rams aggoring arrow fire in AOE2
Hey IamMagic -- how do you draw on the screen for the videos you do? Like the arrows and such
this program called epic pen, there’s a free version but the one I use I think is $5 a month
Thanks for the video! I noticed you didn't bind your units to any control group at all. Is this merely a habit or is there any reason?
It’s because I have find keys on my keyboard, for example I use find all archers and find all heroes, I also use find all mill and find idle mill
Hey Magic, any chance you could do a video on how you micro in battles, with keybindings etc.. thanks in advance
Sure next video will be that
When it comes to making control groups, do you just group all of your villagers and soldiers in 1 and 2? if so, how do you do that?
Hey, I did a video on micro fundamentals a few days ago and I covered this in depth, have a look if you get some time
🐐🐐
WAM
magik i have a question, going for fast tc in retold its not very good right? its better to go 1 tc and make units, even whit poseidon
Yeah it seems that way at the moment, but it also depends on the match up, if you have a civ like hades or Poseidon they can take a tc no problem
Do you ever go leto as gaia? I like him for pierce armor vs hades and it's nice to revive your automatons in defensive 1 tc vs 2 scenario.
I tried him but I prefer Oceanus a lot more, better murmillo really help, and the Carnivora and caladria are both great
With Ra is it better to early 2TC or fast heroic into some kind of push?
I think both options work, depends on the match up, if you can safely take a tc I’d do that and then go heroic
Nice gameplay
Wow the Gaia!
Request: Make a short video on how the recent balance patch impacts your tier list.
I am new - What is the best food order? I usually go Hunt, berries and then farm or is that wrong?
Hunt -> chicken -> berries -> goats/pigs -> farms usually
What's your verdict regarding being able to contend with the Zeus' army in Age2 as Gaia?
It seemed pretty okay actually, as long as you micro well and choose your battles correctly, but I need more games to really be sure
I'm going two TCs from now on when facing Gaia!
Very nice
do you think walls need buffs? I wish there were huge sieges
I think they’re in a good spot atm
What dpi setting do you use on your mouse magic? Also how come you don’t use a apm counter?
Hey I use around 10,000 I believe on my mouse, I use to have an apm counter, I can add that back if people wanna see it

I think they’re going to do Chinese this year but I have no idea
I'm gonna need you to stop being so handsome and good at the video game sir.
Was this the Tourney patch or the live patch?
This was the live one
why do you prefer behemoths to destroyers? Is there particular reason? Cause I rarely see people building destroyers in videos
I prefer destroyers overall, behemoths are just to try and end the game quick and kill him, not sure it's the best move though
Why go oceanus over Leto? Are caladria that good?
yeah, and then oceanus also gets bite of the shark for murmillos and canivora which are great options

sick gameplay especially while talking just nummero 1

I love gaia plays
wow, this map has 7 settlements.
He shoulda bolted the carnivora plant
Impressive amount of commentary for how well you were playing. Maybe it's time to quit at the accounting firm and go fulltime at AOM
Haha I wish I could afford rent with aom
