I want to give you the credit you deserve here. I've played AoM casually on my own and with friends since I was a little kid back in 2005. I have never won a match because I play super slow and don't really know how to micro very well. I just played a game against two of my friends, one as Kronos and another as Thor. I used this video as a guide and managed to pretty cleanly win my first ever competitive match of AoM. It wasn't perfect but I'm really proud of it and wanted to give my thanks and share.

Rare good video that actually shows a efficient build order, subscribed

i play Hades more lategame orianted. Use the hero to collect relics very fast. With Classic Age you have the ressources to instant build 2nd TC. Because of your defensive God power you are pretty safe. Then build archery range and racks or cav depending on the enemy civ

As a fellow Aussie and legacy AOM enjoyer, I'm a big fan of your content for retold Drongo!

Keep up the good work.

Also sidenote, I find it fascinating how strong Hades is offensively considering that, if you think about it, has a more defensive list of unique buffs (Archer/Ranged Fortifactions upgrade for example).

Meanwhile I'm kind of struggling my way through Ranked playing Gaia, Atlanteans are just too fun now so I'm going to keep at it and am taking notes as I go.

I would love to have acess to that screen shot of the Vaults of Erebus build order and practily any other for the different gods and civs. that sheet looks so neat and easy to follow and keep up on my second screen

[dusanzigic]

This is awesome, I hope u release also the starting guides for the other gods.. :)

[Bushwackerinpa]

Is there anywhere you can find the build order sheets at?

[TheJestr]

Since you're doing the best civs, I'd love to see Odin and Gaia guides. Eventually, to see how other's play them

[justincronkright]

Depending on Starting circumstances I kind of think this is for when you need to take straggler trees - or do second storehouse as you've done. Building one on both resources should be best no - though not every map is equally accommodating.
It seemed to be more efficient if I sent first built ville to gold, 2 to wood, 1 to food, 1 more to wood & then 2 to food with 1 after that to favour. Then you have everyone on food basically, even take 1/3 wood villes to food just to secure the age-up time. You can build another storehouse on the way up to transition a group of food villes to wood/gold if needed as you don't need housing atm.

Where i can find the file for follow the step?

[ManchmalGaming]

Hey this seems like a nice build order to follow!

[Craigory]

How to you split up your first 4 villagers? They always come out as 4 for me and idk a way to split them efficiently.

[batuhan]

Im not sure but your villagers seems to play gather resources automatically when they build the related storege building? Am I wrong or is there a setting to allow it?

[nicholasschneidermadsen]

I am quite sure that the amount of idle time is not at all worth getting the tech that early. Imo, you can simply do a normal BO and get the tech by taking the gold vills to favor during transition. This means you are not able to slap down the fast 2nd TC right away, but it's a much easier build and you don't get excessive vill walking time

[stevenstone]

No spreadsheet link in the description? :(

[merlin]

Where can I find this spreadsheet you showed?

[ghostuk]

Is there a way to "right click" so to speak, to queue up research and tech like with a mouse, but in controller. I can't find an answer anywhere...

[lordixus]

I was wondering if there could be a similar approach with poseidon's horses and get that HP Regen going, but the main thing was the gold so i was wondering if you could do this strat but using the better exange rates of the market from poseidon's bonuses to make it up for it until you get the eco upgrades and the difference between having vaults or not is not that noticeable?

[FreeNomad]

Is your hud a setting I'm unaware of? If it's a mod what's it called? It really helps that it shows you how many villagers you have on any given task T.T

[TheWazzawazza]

MOBA background I hear. Play any DOTA?
cool vid btw, subbed
