Ready to be submerged in the mythological realm of Age of Mythology: Retold? This strategy game legend returns with epic battles, gods of legends, and hot gameplay. Be it your first time or in improving gameplay, here are some necessary Age of Mythology: Retold Tips and Tricks to help you master the art of mythological warfare. Let’s get this started!
Try Every God to Find Your Playstyle
Picking the right god can make all the difference in “Age of Mythology: Retold.” In total, there are 12 gods from four pantheons: Greek, Egyptian, Norse, and Atlantean- each with its unique abilities and playstyle.
Here is the gist of it:
- Greek Pantheon: It keeps most heroes and military units strong but always requires an uptight economy.
- Egyptian Pantheon: Building structures are cheaper, and some unique units are available at the cost of slower construction speed. Strong management of the in-game economy is cardinal here.
- Pantheon List: Norse-offensively orientated, battle-hardened heroes and units. Atlanteans-they can make heroes out of regular humans and efficient gatherers.
Pro Tip: Try playing a few rounds with every god, as each is unique. Zeus provides you with excellent infantry, while Loki depends on mythical units. Experiment and find the playstyle most appealing to you.
Rush for the Classical Age
Your first objective in “Age of Mythology: Retold” is to hit the Classical Age as fast as possible. There are minimalized strategy options in the Archaic Age, so speed counts.
Key Steps:
- Accumulate resources like food and gold.
- Build a Temple and construct Houses accordingly.
- Practice your openings to do an efficient start.
The fastest arrival to the Classical Age opens up more units, technologies, and strategic options. Master this rush; unusually considerable advantages in the early game await you.
Try Out the Villager Priority System
Age of Mythology: Retold introduces a new feature to aid in resource management: a Villager Priority System. This allows the setting of auto-goals for villagers, such as pressing food or gold, so they do not need to micromanage them all the time.
But keep them in check! The system isn’t perfect, and:
- Villagers may walk too far to deposit resources, so build drop points closer when necessary.
- The system won’t allow Greek villagers to pray at the Temple- you must do that yourself.
- Apply the Villager Priority System to minimize micro-management, yet check occasionally to ensure it runs correctly.
Always Focus on Your Economy
Your economy in “Age of Mythology: Retold” is the spine of your strategy. A good economy allows you to train units faster, research technologies, and advance through the ages more quickly.
Tips for a Strong Economy:
- Produce Villagers Constantly: The more gatherers you have, the faster resources pile up.
- Prioritize Economic Technologies: Upgrading your economy early in the game will pay off later.
- Remember to focus on gold if you are playing as the Egyptians since most of their powerful units are gold-heavy.
Learn How Counter Units Work
Dominating fights actually comes with mastering counter units. Each unit has its strengths and weaknesses compared to other types. For example, archers are strong against infantry but weak against cavalry.
Pro Tip: Always pay close attention to an opponent’s army’s unit composition and try to recruit units that have advantages over them. Make counter units versatile enough that with simple tech research for this, they could be effective in a wide range of scenarios.
Build Multiple Copies of Military Buildings
Don’t stick with only one barrack or stable. Building multiple copies of your military buildings increases the rate at which you can train units, which is crucial during battles. Double or triple the number of barracks or other military structures to ensure that your army is fully stocked at all times. This strategy becomes more critical in the Mythic Age, where battles become fierce.
Master the Villager Priority System
This new feature allows you to automate resource gathering by setting goals, which saves you from micromanagement. It could be better, and one should also monitor the villagers to ensure they are staying within their tasks and dropping points.
Every second counts in “Age of Mythology: Retold.” Perfecting your build order- the order by which you construct your buildings and train your given units- can give you a massive advantage over your opponents. Practice different build orders to find what works best for your chosen god and strategy.
Advance Through the Ages Wisely
Each age unlocks new buildings, units, and technologies. You will want to ensure you’re upgrading at the right time, or you will lose your strategic advantage. Not too fast or slow because you don’t want to be at a lower age than your opponents while they upgrade.
Summary
Age of Mythology: Retold is a deep, enriching experience for the most committed strategy fan. With this practice given above in the tips and tricks, one will be better prepared to build up a civilization, crush one’s enemies, and lay claim to a place upon the face of the gods.
