I had a conversation with an Age Of Mythology developer and he confirmed me that the things that the priests threw were "little poop balls from The Black River".
I love the priest class. Badass old guys fighting giant monsters. Could you do a video on no upgraded Titans from each faction fighting? There’s a rumor that the Norse Titan will win each time 1v1
Another funny thing I've seen. In a set war, the priests cannot fight the other Set's animals, they will try to convert instead, although usually the animals will kill a priest before it manages a conversion. I also learnt somewhere the attack rate of a priest is roughly twice as fast as Greek Toxotes, although because of their attack value they still have lower DPS (plus Tox have their bonus vs inf).
at 4.05 - whats a "drop site" are these the storages for ressources aka wood, food and gold? and if so if i gather food from animals/fields and the villagers bring the food to the village and a priest is buffing it, does the priest only accelrate the new villager recruiting and upgrades like new age or additinal the gathering speed from any villager that brings any ressource to the village (instead of a storage)
@@Nexotic0 Interesting. The wiki has been wrong about AoM stats at times. Like for the longest time the Murmillo's cost used to be shown as 35 Gold instead of 30.
@@Nexotic0 Just like undervaluing Murmillo previously due to that cost error, I tend to skimp out on getting Priests because of their wrong multiplier. Their base stats are comparable to a Slinger. With that low of a base damage, I used to think they wouldn't do much damage even with a x7 multiplier. x9 makes much more sense.
I don't think they can heal any unit that is related to god powers. So I am guessing the Egyptian snakes, minions or the Norse trees can't be healed, but I have not tested it yet.
Can Set priests convert ANY animal? I feel like I remember playing Set on a map with only woodland animals and I couldn’t convert the deers or the bulls. I may have been playing a different Egyptian god but I’m not sure.
And the next age,when you are on sekhmet and you want to go on Osiris,if you put a priest to make this on a town center during the coming of Osiris,you will have faster the coming of Osiris. power.
Unfortunately you don't understand that their track rating is very high. They also have good range. It's why priest siege is very effective. If you have a lot of priests they do a ton of damage because they don't miss.
I've heard mentioned on competitive videos that massing priests is an easy and cheap way to win.. I've never really understood it though, as yeah I thought they sucked against normal units and buildings? What makes priest massing so good?
I assume its the fact they just cost gold and are trained quick. I can't talk about competitive play though, as I solely play against irl friends or bots
Priests and siege combined used to be very strong in the early days, although these days (voobly and EE), they have somewhat nerfed it. Map generation distributes fairer resources and plentiful gold, in vanilla days, sometimes you'd have to fight hard to secure an early mine :-)
How strong are priests? Well, I havent played this game for over 15 years now, but iirc they simply aren't. I always though the greeks are too OP, but the egyptians are too damn weak.
Priests vs soldiers: Coconuts
Priests vs myth units: FEEL THE POWER, OF THE *S U N*
Fitting considering that Ra is the sun god
Yes!!! This is the AoM content I've been craving. *grabs cup of tea, sits back, and relaxes*

They should be more effective against regular units then-
The fact that they only cost gold makes them easier to mass in the early game. This is part of the reason priest siege rush is so effective.
Thanks man, useful video. I never liked the priests and I still don't, but at least I know a bit more about them now.
This was a really useful video! Thank you so much! Your narration and information have improved a lot!
Looking forward to your next content! 😄

And I seriously think it's just a rumor, but nothing more...! ;p
They look youthful, not old
Not against an Eclipse Egyptian Titan, with 100 Attack he can wipe the floor with any Titan in a fist fight.
I love to recruit an army of Animals with set. It's Just so Fun to have Animals on your side, even thought they are weak.
Will you do nidhogg next?
Hmmm perhaps, at least the Nidhogg is really interesting 👀
@@Nexotic0 dope 😀
@@Nexotic0 I am waiting for too!
holyy this is some high quality aom content. i love it
Man I love your AoM content so much
Actually they can also out range castles in mythic age which is not that useful I guess but hey they can :)

Holly siege machines
Please! PLEASE! Do a video on what exactly handicap gives you bonuses in. Info online is very very scattered on the issue
Perhaps 👀
@@Nexotic0 that would be so awesome! Not many forums concisely say everything it does

Did you get the anti-myth multiplier from Ippert's tooltips? The wikia says it is x7 base and x10.5 with Funeral Rites.
Yep. I talked to Ippert about it

love a lot your AoM videos :)
Happy to hear that! I'm sorry in case you're looking for an active youtuber, i'm pretty dead atm hahaha
@@Nexotic0 I am haha. np man, do your thing, hope you came back to us. :)
They also can't heal the Nidhogg and do they can't heal other units guys?
They cannot heal nidhogg, altough they can heal most ally units, including siege
@@furkansaryerli I know. The first part of my question wasn't a question. Other units? More like dat!

@@sipofsunscorchedsarsaparil6052, they can heal them. But the undead I don't know.
You cant heal norse dragon and titan because they are strong units and you cant heal son of osiris because they are strong
Can you post some multiplayer games ?
Can Set priests convert ANY animal? I feel like I remember playing Set on a map with only woodland animals and I couldn’t convert the deers or the bulls. I may have been playing a different Egyptian god but I’m not sure.
They're bad againts buildings, but they can easily outrange them, that is something to have in mind
How do you change the upgrade and such in the editor?
Elite Axe man and priest and rush 😂 best strategy. Also they are Titan killers are the end of the game

heroes are broken against myth units, the balance isn't good honestly.
Idk, I always liked this unit, loved their shiny robe , they remind me of Jesus 😀
Haha why did this make me laugh :P

Ah man, you missed to make the 69 joke when you were talking about the rss dropoff boost.
