"If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is superior, give him a free healing spring" - Sun Tzu

Viper losing Niddhogg to throwing axemen might've been his most glorious flub since he destroyed the Byzantine Navy in Barbarossa's March

Those panic eco upgrades when you see a massive army approaching and have no military xD

Okay, so you missed this, but when you restarted, the elk was alive

Just a bit of trivia. King Folstag there, according to the Age of Mythology universe, is the officially recognized King of this region (and I think maybe of the Northlands in general) because he changed his wicked, anti-human ways after witnessing Arkantos and his army helping to halt Ragnarok. He then used his influence as a particularly big and scary Frost giant to unify all of the humans and giants into a peaceful kingdom. I couldn't find any significance to his character outside of Age of Mythology however, but I consider him to be a welcome addition nonetheless.

Watches the Nidhogg being summoned, then watches the time left of the video. EPIC THROW!

TheViper: "Oh no I really need some military right now!!!" TheViper: Proceeds to buy eco upgrades instead

"this Titan looks much weaker" Man this Kastor is fucking comedian

That was 10x more epic than the Battle Of Winterfell

When the mission lasts 25 min and the video 1 h 10 m you know there’s going to be a lot of restarts. Skipan??

1 hour of skeepan, feelsreallygoodman

Think the programmers purposefully made it so you can't jebait the Titan forever (if I'm not mistaken). There's nothing worse in multiplayer than your AI allies creating a Titan and then using it to chase a donkey caravan across the map the whole time.

You can pull off an epic cheese on this mission at the start. Just send all your starting units apart from the ones who build your TC to kill Titan early force and prevent him from destroying the first village. The Titan never gets the villagers, extra military units or houses and you can use folstag to jetbait till you kill him. Pretty cheap, but still quite funny.

I think that Edge Of Tomorrow movie with Tom Cruise had fewer restarts than this.

My one complaint is that we got such a small number of storylines explored. I wish Ensemble had more time to develop other story lines and monsters like Jormungandr and Fenris, The Furies , Sisters of fate, the battle between Osiris and Set and of course Ragnarok. The Titans were just the tip of the iceberg

I won the game without any cheese on titan. Just make some throwing axeman to hold early game with some walls/hill forts and after some time go full Jarls. Jarls clear anything, myth units, human units, you name it. Also They are good against the Titan. It's winnable without Nidhogg this way.

Like how "stone wall" is still like 90% wooden

0:31 You can hear Elon Musk's lmao through the echoes of that deer's last breath

Very glad you recognised mid battle healing spring is a bad idea when they have a more overpowering force

at 35:00 i was like : "ho snap! viper's gonna win it, maybe the 1,5h video is for 2 missions of the campaign." well nope

TIP: The "attack bonus vs flying units" axeman bonus grants attack range too. Worth picking up if you want more attack range!

Loki: “My name it Atreus. But some people here call me Loki.” Kratos: “My name is Kratos. But some call me Folstagg.” Mimir: “I am Mimir. Smartest Head alive.” Ajax: “You are all weird people.” Kratos: “Yes they are.” Mimir: “Hey!”

My strat on this map has always been to wall the northern village in the corner right after the titan arrives. This will route the enemy army through the south passage towards your own town. Once they arrive at your town, you migrate your eco up north and only leave a token force at the settlement, doesn't matter if you lose tc. Meanwhile you keep freezing the titan and attacking it with hersirs while frozen. It will be dead long before Nidhogg arrives.

When aom ai feels it can't win a battle, it runs back to save few units.

Nidhogg arrieves Viper: "Oh boy now I'm hyped" 10 seconds later "no, please don't die" xD

I was more concerned on that red rectangle moving on the minimap from center, than the titan troll, actually at 7:02 .

I like how if you skip the intro the deer the giant kills survives

press F for that elk

I almost wished those portable rams would destroy everything before Nidhogg arrives and we get one more restart. :P

This mission is weird because folstag is the villain from the first campaign whose flag you get tricked into carrying

Bogsveigir were added in Patch 2.0 of the extended edition.

Pro backseat gaming tipps that could have helped in this mission ;) Make more than 12 villagers/dwarfs xD Make your army first, then upgrade it Send some rogue siege/hero units to destroy enemy production while AI is focused on killing you Jebaiter strat wasnt even on my radar and made my day

Viper, he had Loki as his major god, and that's why his Hersirs spawned myth units randomly when attacking

How Not To Train Your Dragon

45:22 five ulfsaks ignore the Wall using glitch so fun XDDD

The Niddhogg flambeing the Titan right at the buzzer before the second wave streamrolled you. Clutch!

I won that campaign sending the army at the begging when the titan is destroying the first settlement. If you don't let them build the base, then the rest it's so easy, could work if you controls your unities around the soldiers instead the titan because if they destroy the first settlement entire, it appears the reinforcement in the south

It's snowballing quite fast in da norse.

I won without Amanra jabait. A couple of Fort hills and full throwing axe men in the beginning, no walls. Make choke points with forts and healing spring in the middle. Save units. When eco is good enough, send half throwing axe men and folstag to a green town center to jabait the titan. Build towers and fort hills around the town center to hit the titan being jabaited.

Rush west on first red base with first units (even Folstag damned: he is a hero, not a mythic unit affected by heroes bonus!), is the key: that's how you delay enemy the most and prevent him to rush you: attack as defense. This scen was piece of cake for me, even in Titan's level. After you make throwing axemen to kill heroes and the others with the frost giants given, and slow the titan with Folstag. I almost managed to kill him without Nidhog.

This is the one I've been waiting for.

The Viper strugglin' and all

RAGNAROK MAN: BEST GOD POWER IN THAT GAME!

The best strat in this scenario is to go to titan asap at start and keep freezing him and dancing so they never build a base and an army

An elk has fallen

Why attack the titan when he is asleep and unable to attack, when you can attack him while he's awake and hitting you with a hammer.

This mission would be harder than Cerberus were it not for T H E C H E E S E You can attack the Titan's troops before building the TC, and without reinforcements, the Titan doesn't pose too much of a threat.

There is a bit of a cheat method with this mission. If you attack the reds right at the beginning (using one of your heroes to lure the titan away), you can kill their soldiers before they have a chance to build a TC. After that it becomes stupidly easy because the titan will be on his own.

15:48 When Pro-Strats Go Wrong: Quick walling with a healing spring which is immediately converted by the enemy attackers.

Hmm... an upgrade that improves throwing axemen attack against flying units? This probably won’t be important.

This and the return the Atlantis mission I remember being the hardest

It's quite simple. Rush the enemy before they build a town center, kill villagers, kill infantry. They won't train any units then :D

you could send your troops to attack their infantry before they manage to build a base, just use your heroes to snipe those infantry who intend to build and use king folstag to attract Titan's attention, you can also build front barracks and produce some axeman in order to revive your heroes and to help sniping those infantry.

If you send all units except one to save the first village. they don't create such a huge army. you can micro their units down, as you freeze the titan. and attack titan with hirsir once enemy initial starting units are dead. You just have to make sure they don't complete their first TC

The legit way to win this is to wall off south of your base, and then create a proper kill zone at the northern pass with tower and fort support. Build heros, bulky myths and ranged units and defend in your pool's healing radius. Viper kind of did that, but poorly. You don't want to wall off the north entirely because you want them to funnel through the pass and break on your constantly healing front line.

remember....towers are your friends this game... . I rushed to the top left corner at the beginning, built some towers, the fountain of health and took the fight to them (between the hill and the tree line so I have advantage). Meanwhile build up my eco and push out troops. Worked for me. The titan was easy...just freeze it and hit it with nithog...

Ahh i remember this beautiful game :D

Exciting game. Keep em coming!

@TheViperAOC. You keep forgetting to the key term, ‘Constant military production’.

Serious, albeit cheesy, tip for this scenario: As soon as you get control: 1) Build your TC with only 1 ulfsark. 2) Run the entire rest of your army over to the upper left corner of the map where the bad norseman later appear (see this vid at 4:17 for the area) 3) Get a massive headstart attacking some gaia units (before the trigger changes thier ownership to the bad norseman) 4) Ditto the bad norse's villagers and houses that are located up there. 5) Build a forward base up there too, but play it defensive as you build your eco. Just raid as often as you can. 6) Once your forward base can be sustained without folstag's help, run him around to the titan and freeze him every chance you get. Never lost this scenario playing this way!

Have done this mission by straight attacking the titan with heroes only (because of traitor effect) at start of the mission, before it destroys the first village and kiting him around the map. Enemy troups won't spawn if the Titan doesn't destroy it :)

Keep It Up bro, like your videos!

I was worried this was going to be an easy one.... then i saw the army at 7:40 11

This one can be cheesed so easily, IIRC, since for some insane reason they made it so Folstag can freeze it. Can end it super quickly by making a fuckton of axemen and just keeping the titan frozen.

Ohhh my favoritemission....going to be intresting to see how you deal with this one

Tyr doesn't really help throwing axemen :(... it helps ulsfarks and huskarls, if I recall correctly. "Helping infantry" is just a way for the AoM UI to make it easy to make decisions, but it's not very accurate

admiro tu perseverancia.

That Folstag guy must have a really bad smelling breath to be able to slow down even titans like that

I did the excact same thing but i had like one throwing x-man left and moved it around the entire map with the titan behind me. Lol

The best way to finish this mission is to rush it, build a barracks and spam out some units, freeze the titan and kill the units that build the first tc

What I seen so far,all the titans missions are either:play for more than 2h until you beat it or the game glitch out OR jebait and win in 20 min,regardless of that I took the second approach personally,these missions are ridiculous,you don't get the usual 5 min of peace to get your eco up.AI is straight up madness they don't care whatever it's the beginning of the game or about it economy

i've done this campaign by making the AI bug : just made the titans constantly chase you in circle and all is good. me smart while i was doing that the AI was no recruiting anything and building anything meh

you can attack the titan before he destroys the first village so the enemy doesn t turn into mythic age. You just have to freeze the titan and kill it with your heroes.

40 minutes in, a wall finally appears.

amanra bolt best sprinter ever, white heroes are no match in running

There is always a hole in the wall ;)

first off make a large enough army before pop cap. then start upgrades and other things.

Win without jebait cheese strats plz :D You are the best AOE2 player in the world, no need to go down to such a level. If plebs like us can beat this mission on titan without jebait or cheese, you can too! Oh just finished: Here was the strat I used in my last playthrough: 1. Use folstag to harass titan nonstop, he is not needed for base defense: 2. Wall top but not left, so al armies go the long way to get to me. 3. Yarls, throwing axemen, towers 4. ignore unit upgrades if population is low. Get big army > tiny army with an upgrade. EZ win

i think you make balista from citadel is very good because of the pierce damage

The trick for this one to be easy is to rush the ennemy's base with your starting forces ( 3 Heroes+ Folstag are OP), while the Titan goes on his rampage. It skips the hardest part.

Amanra MVP

Onagers, Bogsveigir, Physicians and Kopesh Swordsman are units only available in the Tale of the Dragon Expansion and were not available originally in Titans campaign so please don't use them if you want to play it the way it was meant to be.

lol, I keep shouting at my screen: build myth units!

A Song Of Fire And Ice: AOM Edition

If you attack them immediately you can prevent them from building a base and therefor they can't attack you. But I guess that's kind of an exploit

Thor's Dwarves gather food just as fast as normal gatherers! get 4 dwarves on gold and just make a bunch more to get food! gatherers are still better for gathering wood.

47:35 wtf?? never saw that lol

54:33 is that a frozen Frost Giant?

It is actually not that hard if you just start by sending your whole army to the titan and ignoring the other part of its army as the titan will roam by itself. A few freezes and running back and forth with your heros would do the trick

your videos are getting much longer viper. :D good.

The best strat to beat this mission and not abusing IA jebaiting is just constuct ur town center evolve ur villagers into huskarl and then take ur whole army to attack the titan and give up your base. You will be able to kill the titan thanks to folstag, u just need to fight the titan at good moments meaning not when he has tons of units around him and dodge the big armies that killed ur base

invoked ragnarok. hide the heroes from the titan...

i think you should make vills on auto production

well easy way for this mission: just kill the titan with your heroes before he kills the first village

So everytime he wall and build citadell he manage to hold but strangely he never want to do...

you really need to make more myth units. you are almost always capped at 100

This mission is soooooo hard if you play it as it should be. I always kill the titan before he destroys the first village and no renforcement comes to help him. I never saw these bowmen before.
