28. Beneath the Surface | Fall of the Trident | Age of Mythology: Retold

Chiron!

In this scenario, our heroes must stop another attempt at battering down a Hades Gate. You have to manage an economy on the surface and fight off attacks on the underworld while you rush to the gate.

This is definitely a two pronged mission. I do love how Sons of Raganok make this a cakewalk. You really need to build up asap to win.

Also RIP Chiron.

Losing the Well of Urd by not paying attention on a two front scenario. Woops.

Best part of this mission is that you can rush Gargarensis' base. Just bring back all your heroes to the surface and starts pummeling his production and TC while he's still in Archaic-Classical. You starts in Heroic age so everyone are pretty strong already. Produce Berserks to help the heroes deals building damage and target the straggling Villagers and Berserks.
Tried this on Titan and it's very easy to do. Just make sure to watch their Underworld raid units trying to destroy your well. Use the Frost God Power to prevent additional damage while pulling your heroes back to the underworld.

Even on normal I was so mad at the attacks on the surface I restarted and bumrushed the TC with the starting heroes, Reginleif's heal is so OP that it can outheal the damage, 10/10 would recommend :D

They retconned it to be a frozen underworld instead of fire and lava

Okay, spoilers for a twenty year old campaign here (no need for anyone to get mad at me😅)

It's a bit of a pity that Reginleif didn't become a permanent part of the group as a replacement for Chiron and that instead Odysseus became the sixth ranger for the finale. Sure, we are only talking about a single additional mission she would have starred in (mission 31) and there wasn't a reason for her to travel to Atlantis with the gang, seeing as she was already home, but come on. Who doesn't want more overpowered healing?

Also, let's not forget that for some reason a Norse contingent travels to Atlantis for the final act. She could have then later shown up in the New Atlantis campaign together with Amanra and Ajax (and Chiron, if we count his appearance on Mount Olympus.😄).

I was seriously wondering whether you would notice

[mryes]

At least have some units to defend the well.

[mryes]

Send the calvary first they're faster.
