The significance of a warrior renowned for their mindless discipline is somewhat lost in a game where every unit immediately and perfectly follows orders.

[kria]

myrmidons are basically "you are allowed to be on the council, but we do not grant you the rank of a hero"

[jonathanperigo]

I hope you keep doing these. It's fantastic. You're like the Spirit of the Law for AOM. I mean that as a compliment and hope that you keep doing what you are doing!!

[jimdemertzim]

Next video is obviously on Lighthouses!

[Gigomecha]

Love what you are building here with your channel, AOM needs a spirit of the law! Great editing and keep up the good work!

[DuizhangLu]

Feel like they need some big HP, damage, and speed buffs to justify training them since they need a fortress now instead of a barracks. Maybe bring them up to fanatic levels of health and Zeus hoplite speed? Hetairoi certainly seem to justify themselves. Makes me wonder how the gastropheteroi (or however you spell that) are doing

[clairespivak]

Great video- it would be great to see the head-to-heads balanced for population as well as resources. Noting training time would also be great!

Can't wait to see the next video on Pharaohs!

[cinderheart]

I'm loving these deeper analysis videos. Finding actual information about what every unit does is still difficult for this game, it's great to have your channel as a resource.

This is scratching the itch in my brain for Spirit of the Law videos ^.^

[DCdabest]

They should just be 2 Pop like Hoplites.

Gate that upgrade behind a tech if necessary, but the reason they underperform is because they don't have the ability to be easily massed like Academy units do, and they lack area damage or range like Hetairoi or Gastrophretai.

You simply just can't have enough of them to hit the snowball mass necessary to make them work properly.

Commenting for exposure to this great channel!

[ilikeitidont]

Amazing video!!! Really making me spend a Sunday playing AoM Retold!!!

[AEGISAOE]

do u think is good to add cards like in aoe ii?

[dimitrisdemertzis]

So, on a purely by-feeling realization, why do Myrmidons feel extremely weaker in retold compared to the original? is it the attack speed?? the lack of multiplier making it easy to destroy lower armor enemy units? or is it just that a lot of other units are buffed in retold and Myrmidons got left behind?

[Isvoor]

The next video will be about the LASER CROCODILE passive of illuminating their target!

[Salmao]

Bennoloth, you channel is awesome. Hope you become great in Retold's comunity. But you could have a more easy channel name to remember and type. I see one of your thumbnails and even liking a lot your content I didn't remembered your channel name and almost didn't clicked.

That explained why Zeus has lowest WR in PVP.

[Spiror]

Need some small buff for sure…..maybe his cost maybe attack speed or speed or hp…..his cost effectiveness is not so great and is hard to mass them now……maybe heras patronage make them recruit from academy and make them cheaper without buff them actually and not free units…..maybe 65 food and 45 gold something like that

[thorveim]

on my end, going Hera is how I beat the last 2 campaign missions on titan: because the output of the cap of fortresses is INSANE and would take way mroe than one or two plenty vaults to match... and it gave me exactly what i needed: an ebdless source of cannon fodder to throw at things like polyphemus and the chimera death squads that melt any frontline in seconds (heroes after all cant be spammed as a greek). And hell, their divine damage even allowed me to beat the poseidon statue in the last mission without building a wonder (though with hydras and heroes tanking for the myrmidons)

[barrywise]

Next video gonna be on multi hit attacks?
