    Age of Mythology Help with Poseidon vs Atlantean


    Help with Poseidon vs Atlantean

    Posted: 29 Apr 2020 07:55 AM PDT

    Hello everyone, I am seeking help with my poseidon. I have read some guides here and there, and feel pretty confident with my poseidon vs most civilizations at the 1900+ level on EE. That being said, most of my losses come from atlantean when I am playing poseidon. There are a few problem areas that I come across, and I am not exactly sure how to proceed.

    1. Their classical age units seem stronger then mine.

    Anytime I take any fight, I seem to straight up lose. Maybe its my micro, but I feel like hippikon seem to not be a viable option since they just melt to his murmillo/counter cavalry units. I have tried hippikon/archers, and the problem I find is that archers are so slow that they slow my army down, and if I am not extremely diligent, the turma just absolutely shred toxotes. I try to micro my hippikon onto the turma, but the pathing of atlantean just allows the murmillo and counter cavalry units to instantly pathblock my hippikon before I can get many kills, forcing me to run them away while the turma melt my archers, or run completely from the fight altogether, which is something you cant afford to do every single time as it means giving up a critical resource such as hunt or gold.

    I have tried hopolite/archers, and this combination seems to do a lot better, but not by a lot, and it makes my army incredibly slow, and it doesn't allow me to raid nearly as effectively.

    I have tried all three, hopolite, toxotes, and hippikon, which seems to do the best, but then because I am doing two food based units my heroic and mythic age fall significantly behind the atlantean, and again speed of army is an issue when keeping up with raiding atlantean units.

    2. Their units build so much faster then mine.

    When I keep waiting and waiting til I can find a favourable fight, I often lose simply because they can spam so many units so quickly that any fight that isnt completely dominant that i take ends up turning into a losing fight very quickly, causing me to again retreat.

    3. Their myth units are hard to kill.

    I love greek heros, and I always build them first thing as I go into classical for early pressure, but later on, they feel so lack luster. Once both of us have a sizable army, theirs always consists of many myth units, and my heros are easily focused down while their myth units shred my army. I am considering trying to build a few centaurs into the mix, but they are so much more costly then theirs, and require intense micro to not get picked off by hero turma, and it is just really hard to build a lot of myth units when wood is often needed for farms.

    4. They always seem to outpace my advances.

    I have tried several different macro builds, and I can beat them to heroic or mythic, but it is often at a cost, such as being behind on towncenters, losing map control, and/or sacrificing eco or army size. It seems like atlantean can go a full army, raiding and all, get a town center, and go heroic well before I am ready to go heroic matching them tit for tat on army and towncenters. I have tried simply remaining in classical for a few minutes, but their dryad/bird spam usually makes me lose significant fights that ultimately cost me the game.

    5. They can raid me equally, if not better then I can raid them.

    I love to raid as poseidon, but they can do it better with ranged units hitting my treeline, gold mines etc.. whereas I have to sacrifice a few hippikon to raid their gold. Oranos in particular can simply chase my hippikon around all day while their turma raid me in the back and I can't cause any economic damage. I obviously try to keep my army split, but I feel I need several groups of raiders to cause any damage since the murmillo/counter cavalry will chase atleast one of my groups which causes more of my army to be raiding, and less of my army to be defending. Not to mention the manors allow them to grab risky hunt much easier then I am able to.

    Advice is welcome

    Anyways, that is my breakdown of why I struggle to compete with an equally skilled atlantean player. I do better with gaia, then oranos, but if the gaia does not archaic 2 tc, then it is really hard for me to compete. If you guys know of any guides, or have any advice on how to improve vs atlantean, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Trouble Opening AoM

    Posted: 29 Apr 2020 10:21 PM PDT

    Whenever I try to open up AoM it seems to run fine up until it's supposed to open up the main screen then my screen turns black and exits me out completely. Does anyone else have this issue or is this just a me problem?

    I'd appreciate what you guys have to say, thanks!

    How do I beat Norse?

    Posted: 29 Apr 2020 10:01 PM PDT

    Although I have heard that Norse are fairly low tier, they certainly rule the casual tier lists. How do I beat them?

    I am a casual Hades player that plays in a friend group that is mostly Norse players, Loki and Thor specifically. When I play, I always get beat because of the unit span that they can manage, even with only one Town Center.

    So, how do I beat them? Again, I'm a casual player that looks to play normal games, so I wouldn't be interested in high-tier strategies or anything like that.

    Are there any good guides for Scenario creation? I feel like a lot of scenarios have great potential and I want to make balance patches through them

    Posted: 29 Apr 2020 02:03 PM PDT

    Title; I love a lot of scenarios in the game (like tower defense) but so many of them have some major flaws. Is there any guide that you could recommend to learn how to create them?

    Questions about EE on steam

    Posted: 29 Apr 2020 05:45 PM PDT

    So the general consensus from what I've read is that EE is not very good compared to DE due to bugs and graphics problems. But most of these have been from no less than a year ago.

    Have they fixed the textures in EE to look clear enough yet? Or do they still look blurry?

    Is there any sort of option to use something closer to DE's 'high' graphics settings than its 'low' yet? (Or was this only one person's problem?)

    How many of those bugs (that don't have to do with the chinese pantheon) are still there? More importantly, how many that affect gameplay? Are there any bugs related to the chinese pantheon that are game breaking that still exist that I'd need to know about?

    I've heard voobly is more competitive than steam. Does this mean that steam is less competitive overall? Or is it still filled to the brim with tryhards, just that voobly is even more full of them? (Also can I make a private room in EE?)

    The price is not an issue for me because it goes on discount often enough that I can wait and buy it then. I mainly want the game because DE doesn't have online anymore, and because I don't have the TotD DLC.

    Thank you for any answers to my many questions!

    What if there was a Roman Empire, expansión to the AOM ��

    Posted: 29 Apr 2020 05:15 PM PDT

    That'd be pretty awesome or what other civilizations do you think would be just as cool?
