Just found your channel, as someone that is only rediscovering this fantastic game because of retold coming out please keep up the good work and explaining whats going on even basic stuff! there will be alot of new players coming into the game!
Regarding the Roc, Magic has said that he mostly uses it to scout but that in battles he also uses it to tank ranged attacks. For peak efficacy he advises to fly it directly over the top of the attacking units, which apparently best reduces their accuracy.
It's nice to see Ra do well but at the same time I have doubts about this strategy being viable long-term - feels like the game really could've just ended at 6:24 if Ragnerox had chosen to press the attack instead of retreating.
I like to agree but it's probably not smart diving 2 TC a tower Pharoah priest wedjet with 2 heros a minotaur 1 horse and one tower, his army a little later probably could of dived I think
I think here IamMagic was fine - but I think against 1 TC agression this just does not work as they can have ~15 units when you want to age up which makes diving against a Priest, a Pharao and a Wadjet very possible. Would like to see what he does against this.
I remember the times where you would put Locust down and if your opponent didn't move his tree line villagers they would all die to it in mere seconds. Sigh, good times.
I have a bit of trouble understanding priests and pharohs; they deal MASSIVE dmg to mythics but seem to deal almost nothing otherwise. Wouldn't it be better for them to heal and let other deal the dmg? How do I bet make them heal? Do I just press heal on a target and tell will continue to hela or do I make them passive?
Priests are a hero unit which primarely focused on being anti myth unit. Priests and the Pharaoh can also heal, all you have to do is either press right click on an ally unit (a heart icon will appear when dragging your mouse over the ally unit which is hurt) and the Priest / Pharaoh will automtically heal that unit until It's full health. Alternstively you can use the short it Q with the Priest selected. If you are out of combat, the Priest or Pharaoh if don't do anything, will automtically heal any unit close by that is hurt. For example if you have and army and 6 Priests, if you move them somewhere and then all the units have nothing to attack, all the Priests will automtically start healing any damage ally unit in range of them. Take into account that your Pharaoh like Amanra says, is your most powerful unit and you get *only* one, if he dies, you lose him for the entire match unless you go Osiris and get the upgrade he provide which makes your Pharaoh respawn and have a second one. Your Pharaoh should be out of combat cause you can lose him quite easily there and should be used primarely for economic stuff since with his empowered ability (the sun light effect one) he can make buildings build much faster and if he empowered a gather drop off site like a gold mine, a town center, wood mine etc. whenever a villager drops a resource there, it will give you bonus extra resource. Your Pharaoh can also make units train faster by empiwering empiwering any building that trains any unit. He is most often better used at the resources bonus empower. That should solve most of your questions. If you want healing and anti myth stuff being either myth units since they have bonus dmg versus other myth units or better yet a hero unit like the Priests.
Why Toxotes and Hippeus? Should've Peltast and Podromos to counter Ra's build. Podromos could even counter camels and elephants if it did go there. Also he lost the aggression window and barely made any mythic unit. Weird.
You are party correct however Camels also have a major versus against all calvarly units so they should be able to come on top of the prodromos due to being a higher tech unit
remind me what are the greeks good at? it looks like they need a lot of micro . and dont really have units that are any good. the egyptians and norse have the best units.
@@paulsd9255 I kinda feel like it should have been stacked. As in, if a pharaoh does it and then a ptiest also favors a drop site they should stack on each other on top.
Unfortunately, Ra is the weakest Egyptian god at the moment. The Migdol Stronghold unit's +15% HP is useless now because of Ballistics , and they don't even have the original +12% speed anymore which could help them avoid arrow projectiles when moving.
Im kinda surprised seeing Ra winning a high elo game. From all what i heard is, that ra is one of the worst major gods atm. His rain feels kinda pointless if u have so much food available around ur base anyway (which is even faster).. I really hope the egypts in general get som unit or god power buffs... locus feels weak compared to a lot of other age 3 god powers
It really depends, you can bring any God to high level if your decision making and experience is good enough, all the rest is just optimization and optimal choices. He is not as good as other Gods but he is by no means a God that automatically loses a battle with an opponent simply for picking Ra.
I find it weird a "pro" gamer wouldn't want to talk to casters or someone interested in their play. It's not like they're Tom Brady, Christiano Ronaldo, or Lebron James. Lmfao. I guess some people's arrogance is severely misguided.
I've been learning a lot from IamMagic's guides. I very much appreciate him taking the time to help lower level players get into the scene
Your a noob

Welcome aboard!
Lazer Crocs are the way to go. Won't play Egypt without them
I love watching AoM: Retold matches and you're the best broadcaster I've found! Keep up the good work my dude!

i think the village center is a cool way to expand ways to play the game imo

IamMagic knows he's good enough to pull this off, a lower level player like me would've totally died if I tried this strategy,
I think here IamMagic was fine - but I think against 1 TC agression this just does not work as they can have ~15 units when you want to age up which makes diving against a Priest, a Pharao and a Wadjet very possible. Would like to see what he does against this.
I was doing a practice run against the titan AI which normally i got no issue with but it had those lazer crocs and I got roasted
I remember the times where you would put Locust down and if your opponent didn't move his tree line villagers they would all die to it in mere seconds. Sigh, good times.
Finally, Ra fast heroic, NICE!!!
Just ate 2 pounds of cashews, now watching this on the toilet. Thanks 🙏
hahahaha
Good sir, for what reason did thou decide to destroy thine rectum?
Thats like a kilo and iirc theyre like 1/3rd fat haha. The good stuff though.
0 barracks is wild
what did he do with the farmers at 7:02?
Gaia village centers spread lush which is nice

The laser croc does 10 damage a second and it burns for so many seconds, hard one to understand haha maybe its for 2 seconds based on its attack speed
how do you build a village centre? i dont see it anywhere on the build menu.
It's the same building as town center, just place it without settlement
I watched your intro video to aom retold and I found it very useful. I subbed immediately afterwards. Can you do some more fast heroic builds? Thanks
plz cast the tournament too when it's on 🙏
Peltastas was the key for the greek
I learnt a lot from you by commenting, but I'm still sh*t at this game lol
What that RETOLD version added On the EXTENDED one 🤔? ?
Loads of changes, like god power reuse costing favor which is no longer limited to 100/200, but Chinese are gone and going to be remade
Magic vs daut Red Bull finals les goo!
Sobek has a camel buff tech and ra has the best camel riders so going ptah into sobek gives u the strongest camels
Can someone explain how does difficult alters the gameplay? I'm seeing "moderate" on top right screen, how does it really affect gameplay?
It does nonthing in multiplayer game.
Do u no how I can see wot relics are on Xbox can’t see the perks on the relic just the name anyone know how to find out fast on Xbox
I will definitely be rooting for IamMagic during the Red Bull events.
His videos are really helping me a lot to get into AoM Retold.
Good Video

@@cloudshifter so what would have been the best answer? Im going with more nemean lions due to the high pierce armor
remind me what are the greeks good at?
it looks like they need a lot of micro . and dont really have units that are any good.
the egyptians and norse have the best units.
What do you mean? Toxotes are literally the best archers in the game.
@@Jaguaist bro they just got dominated by chariot archers..
@@Smt_Glaive They still are the best archer unit. Also greek heroes and myth units are crazy good.
Toxotes has best hp and dmg ratio per population they are the strongest archers.
full prodromos or prodromos and peltasts imo was the answer
Isnt it worth it to have the pharao blessing a statue?
20% of 0.1 favor per sec you do the maths
Depends if you are going to use the favor. In this case Ra really didn't need it for this strategy.
It empowers the buildings around the monument, but only to priest level blessing.

I bought the game ntg new to got refund
What an utterly pointless comment
Im kinda surprised seeing Ra winning a high elo game. From all what i heard is, that ra is one of the worst major gods atm. His rain feels kinda pointless if u have so much food available around ur base anyway (which is even faster).. I really hope the egypts in general get som unit or god power buffs... locus feels weak compared to a lot of other age 3 god powers
All that food can easily be denied by the opponent
It really depends, you can bring any God to high level if your decision making and experience is good enough, all the rest is just optimization and optimal choices.
He is not as good as other Gods but he is by no means a God that automatically loses a battle with an opponent simply for picking Ra.
This is bronze gameplay?
First, hi mom
I find it weird a "pro" gamer wouldn't want to talk to casters or someone interested in their play. It's not like they're Tom Brady, Christiano Ronaldo, or Lebron James. Lmfao. I guess some people's arrogance is severely misguided.
Thats what you decided to comment on in this 20 minute long video lol.
Gamers can be shy
FYI - The word 'casted' is not a real word in the English language.
Yoyre so right, have you ever heard of the word pretentious?? That's another real word.
why the UI super sucks
