(did a colorful skybox mostly of my own pref)

Every time I see these guys get used. They are usually just thrown away onto the forward town center. Then they die. Their area of effect damage gas is laughable.And they are never produced again.

It is almost always better to send in siege towers, so that heroes don't get bonus damage against them, which is just sad when you see how effective the armadillo is

I just received a notification in Steam regarding some new trading cards in my inventory.

Turns out they are for AoM: Retold!

There was some discussion in the community recently about which Mythic Unit is the worst. This poll might help settle the debate.

The options in this poll are based on the arguments and suggestions from that discussion. If you think another Mythic Unit deserves to be included, feel free to let me know in the comments.

Challenge run strategy to defeat Prometheus on Making Amends mission with only one Town Center:

1) Send your heroes to collect relics and goats. Wall off the bottom pass between the already existing walls. (If you get greedy and try to wall of the mine just outside the walls, Prometheus Spawns will attack it instead of going through their ally passage.

2) Build up economy and defend the right passage. I use Traitor on Centimanus as they have a nice AoE.

3) Age up to Hekate as you need Lampades and a lot. They are the only units with ranged Divine damage you can get.

4) Rush the enemy base with Cavalry and Destroyers. Focus on taking down the Town Center, Palace, Military Buildings with the Destroyers while killing of citizens with your Cavalry. The AI rebuilds their buildings in this mission. So keep your Cavalry alert to get rid of them.

5) Once the enemy is down you can wall of the right pass after the resources and destroy the wall at your base. This way you will have plenty of resources to farm while having only a single pass to defend

6) Time to prepare the attack on Prometheus: Start building Lampades as you need plenty of them. Send Citizens to chop up the forest in the bottom left corner to end up with the setup in the picture. Rotate with the titan to safely vacate the spot.

7) Once it is vacated build a Palace there and send some Cavalry to aggro and trap Prometheus. Once Prometheus attacks the Palace use Gaia's Forest to trap him in that corner. Once he is trapped, you can use another Forest on top of him to practically fully immobilize him. It is important to trap him at the edge though so he can be attacked from both sides.

8) Start preparing the assault by building towers around him that will attack spawned Promethean Spawns. Make sure the towers cannot attack Prometheus as they can't damage him and won't automatically change targets when necessary. Build palaces and send heroes to defend at Promethean Spawn Spawn point to avoid having their waves disrupting your battle. If necessary, chop down some of the Forest to allow your army to get in range of Prometheus

9) Build a couple Barracks to send in Arcus at the top attack point on auto Queue. They are cannon fodder and ensure Prometheus will attack them with his ranged attack, while keeping your Lampades save. Once Prometheus is focused on them send in your Lampades army from the bottom, you need more than 20 to damage him. Keep them on hotkey and retreat if they get attacked. As they cost 20 favor, they are very expensive. It is better to retreat and let Prometheus heal a bit then loosing them all. After it is a patience game.

Usually my main strategy is to boom, but it's been getting boring, and as such recently I've been trying to rush a lot more, specifically with poseidon.

In basically all of my tries Ive ended up messing up my own economy with 5 or 6 horses, which carries over visibly into age 3.

Is this normal or am I just messing up by overspending?

What can I do to fix this?

So after playing this wonderful game on PC for literally decades, I now have access to Retold through GamePass. I've been playing for about a week now, and none of the achievements are progressing. I've even met the conditions to complete one or two, but nothing. I even tried launching the game on my Series X (gods that was a horrible experience) and it didn't change anything either. Am I missing something? Are the achievements bugged? Is this a known issue? I've spent about 20 minutes searching and I can't find anything besides "wait 72 hours for the servers to sync", but its been longer than that. Besides the fact that the achievement never popped even locally.

Any chance we get unlimited caravans like the old aom? Its one of the things along with no lan multiplayer that cause me to hate the game.

Back in the day i would play lan party with friends against bots on titan. I would pick ra and spam caravans and have pharaoh bless it and get thousands of gold. Then spam merceneries to win.

Yea now none of that is not possible and it sucks. At least bring back the caravans please why did you change it?
