You easily have the best AOM series on UA-cam. You not only cast games but you voice over your own strategies and thoughts on the game mechanics and you break down everything so nicely. I've been watching you for years and you're just the best! Thanks for all that you do ❤
I wish you get a lot of viewers. Im pretty amazed you streamed and commented good old AOM for years, even if this game have so low interest. Now when retold releases, things are going to change
Dude is suddenly playing AoE 3 in AoM. Herding works for the entire herd at once there, love seeing it in AoM as well! Are you planning on doing sort of entry level videos for the different civs or even major gods? As a AoE 3 guys, I know AoM fairly well, but the fine differences in fights, micro and decision making (especially due to the lack of snare) I am having a hard time getting into the ranked meta.
Forseti can still be a useful pick for one main reason: his armor upgrade. As you said norse dont have much pierce damage (basically none on their ground units until the heroic age, and even then its limited to a hero that's unbonused against human troops and a siege machine) and as such the dwarven breastplate is a MASSIVE durability boost for berserks and hirdmen in such a matchup, whether the opponent goes for infantry or cavalry. plus, trolls are handy in an army faceoff in the classical age as the norse have no ranged hero to effectively snipe them, and they leave the food for other uses like weapon/armor upgrades (though the price is that you are less mobile and may be less able to field axemen) also agree that Hersirs are just a solid frontline choice for the norse, especially Thor: costly, but they are way beefier than any norse infantry AND are an economy units too, especially with Thor that can beef up their damage and passive favor generation for cheap
cheers boit learnt alot there! not even so much thee build but the way you think and that army control i had no idea about. how do you preque upgrades? ill have a look
@@bruvkek4629 You don't necessarily have to garrison vills. If they want to have their Valkyrie sit there and attack your gold mine, you just micro out the one vill it's attacking while the Pharoah kills it. Otherwise you can just ignore it. It's just a buzzing fly, it can't do anything. And it'll get hit by the free towers once you get into classical.
I personally feel like. From a logical stand point. You need to force fights with thor. Simply because you are able to make better trades when you have access to more armory upgrades. I am not sure it is smart to play a rush strategy with thor though. He is not very good at it. I would probably wait for the armoury upgrades to play into the strength of Thor.
thor player here, i wouldnt use dwarven gold mine personally, because if you do get pushed off gold some how, you have something literally other players dont have, a free gold mine, if you atleast get to classical before using it, its enough to keep pumping out solders, but if you can hold it until heroic its such an underrated power. I can advance by 3:10 with thor and have enough for an army by 3:30 to harass. I dont do armoury start, personally i believe it sets thor players behind and this is why he has that lower win rate, thors late game is very strong and can compete with odin imo. So underated
@@jackslater8528 I played against ourk about 2 weeks ago, and I thought I had optimised my build! Ourk showed me the way, thors dwarves are basically as good if not better than others gatherers, an all dwarves build lets you optimise so well and nobody is using this build, you need to have a play around but basically don’t sleep on an all archaic age dwarves economy, I simply can’t advance as fast as Thor on any other Norse god it’s ridiculous
Einheri is the singular form, Einheriar is the plural.. same goes for Valkyrja, add an r for plural but they went with the modern english version of the word sadly
cant help but feel like playin it safe with the dwarven gold mine isnt BIS... utilizing it fully, early has to be best. I mean you were literally down a god power here. Saving it for a dicey heroic age SOUNDS good, but what about using it efficiently to ENTER the heroic phase a tiny bit faster / stronger ?
The top left is your global queue. That's things you that are in production. After that completes you have that thing for the rest of the game (or until it dies if it's a unit)
Anyone not like Retold and it grow on them? Long time Mythology player and the game looks terrible to me. Like Age of Empires 4 Mythology. Has anyone gritted it out and have their opinion change?

Iammagic is great for that
@@peterblood8074For sure! I watch him as well. Love the depth in his videos.
Magic is one of the best for sure!
I am so happy to see all of the AoE players are having great fun with AoM retold
Love it!
I really like the way you play Thor 🔥
Well done!
I was so confused..looking at his cam and hearing his voice but not seeing his lips move. Until I realized it waa voiced over and not frozen 😂

rightclick on the upgrade
That seems like insane value of the valkyrie, harassment and annoyance for over a minute? Unfortunately mine go straight to valhall.
valkyrie in enemy base in 3:30 seems crazy op
I'm an Egyptian main and it's quite nice and safe for me with the free towers and priests/pharaoh who can snipe it down.
@jackskellingtonsora I just tried this build against the AI. Arrived in their base and went "oh shit." They were Egyptian.
@@whossname4399 its still some economic damage if they have to garrison vills and move their pharoah to chase you.

@@jackskellingtonsora the raiding cavalry by 3:40 is insane tho

Hey I'm looking to add Thor instead of just spamming Odin. How do you open with him until classical?

you can push hunt in aoe3 as well

Did you see ours new Thor build!? Dwarves only
3:47 무려 3분30초 발키리견제 ㅋㅋ
Once you buy an armory upgrade does it last all game or is that only for the time it shows up on top left of screen?
The top left is your global queue. That's things you that are in production. After that completes you have that thing for the rest of the game (or until it dies if it's a unit)
Did a 5:30 FH Njord with odin 2 weeks ago with that herding principle :), hard to do but ww at 5:30 is way deadlier than the small early harass.
but the herding only works on that specific map right?
@@jeromemartel3916 Not really, the hunt has a larger span area than aom, so you can basically do it on every map :)
Just wait till you see the strategy I've got cooking ;)
Sorry new player, is it ever worth to build only dwarves on Thor over gatherers?
You can do this it will not be terrible , but i like to mix.
Hey How do you Pre Queue an upgrade or an age up?
Right click on it
Does Retold run well on laptop?
Depends on your laptop, it works well on mine but i have a good graphic card and cpu
Does on mine 😅
throwing axemen don't shoot and scoot. They throw and go!
