Epic Ra vs Freyr Mythic Showdown - AoM Retold 

You don't actually have a lack of scouting in retold. You build monument first, even before graniary. Then empower it. So you can send priest out from the beginning like isis or sett. So yes, you lose a bit of value, but honestly it is so little ( with 70% of 20% bonus makes it 6% bonus loss so around 60 food loss overall on archaic age for scouting. It is worse it to scout, i think it is how ra works in retold and why they did the empower monument thing for early ra scouting. By going up to the classical age, i make myself a second priest for scouting, which will be for sure useful for fighting or empowering later on. I then find myself to have plenty of vision on the map.

And if you are not willing to sacrifice just a bit of your bonus value to scout early, then you are asking for too much like come on.

@@alexisbelfer7881 you notice the difference between setting your pharaoh on the granary and setting him on the monument. It may not be the biggest deal in the world, but if you want a 4:00m age up you need to have him on there. Other pantheons don’t require a sacrifice of resources like that.

@@codyestes6596 What do you think of going mass farms in Classical Age with an upgrade (plough or something), then using the rain to get you INTO the Heroic, and another fast Rain when in Heroic. With the Berry buff for Ra, he might not need to go for any hunt except the first one close to home, making his food gathering up until Heroic Ultra safe. As a Ra player back in the day, i always found that even Ra's benefits with migdol units, elephant spam was always a bit too underwhelming, and resource taxing to immediately spam them... but with a sizeable farm economy established mid classical Age - Mid Heroic Age, AND a Double rain, and a small pivot to gold, you can actually support a Pretty fast elephant spam that wasnt possible in O.G AoM. What your thoughts on this?

@@codyestes6596 Well i go with 4:15, though i could with 4:00 too. As i said, you just lose 60 food (55 more precisely) for early scouting. I think the price is worth it.

But this stupid from ra as a major god bcs ra buff ur migdol units

@Tomil4444 but with no Thoth to choose at mythic, can you really maximise that bonus? Also it's one of the few civ bonuses that you can't use until Heroic. You can get killer infantry upgrades at all ages with Ptah, Sehkmet and Horus, plus the cheap farms from Ptah. I mean, definitely sprinkle in some migdol units, but I've been running with 80% infantry with Ra and having a lot of success.

Yup Also people have successfully spammed super upgraded divine slingers, and it has not been nerfed as far as i know. No idea why that is not being used here, they basically counter 90% of all units a Norse could make

They have two build order where Ra could be terrifying. First is the slinger with Ptah, Sekhmet and Horus where you made with Ra bonus of empowerment (Pharaoh and... Priest) where the cheap Egyptian infantry became absolutely terryfing with somme myth unit. Second build order Bastet, Sekhmet and Osiris why? Because you going to upgrade your camel and chariot archer very efficiently and also Mummy is a good. Unit and you can have a second pharaoh and have son of osiris. For the Ra meta with empowerment it's crazy because you have a mighty son of horus on the battlefield and in the back an other Pharoah who help to spam unit... People play with study what the civ or the God offer really. P.s :I have a deeply affection for Ra but I stay for Isis who stay the more the most versatile and flexible. Annubis, Nephtys, Thot or Osiris, only good option.

@@lemoinecopiste1691 I prefer sobek over sekhmet for your second build, it makes your camel riders super-potent and gives you more power to your buildings which easens up your turteling to age 4 to get osiris+camels. I dont think sekhmet upgrade gives enough to the chariot archers to justify that camel upgrade from sobek

As i remeber any gp what was used and have some duration work like that

But how exactly will that look like? Spawn 4 or 6 farms for free?

@@Tomil4444 Maybe? The idea is for a limited resource that harvests quickly, so maybe spawn a largish fruit tree with limited food in it or something idk.

No he dont in that scenario he pick to watch a fight rather one god power

Build 50 barracks, spam divine damage slingers and camels Ez

Can u tell me why ra is bad vs other egypt gods?

​@@Tomil4444 Ra basically is bad versus anything. Egyptians are (by far) the weakest civ right now. Only thing that has carried Isis (and to an lower extend Set) was the good path Bast->Nephtys->Thoth with its Ancestors+Eclipse timing, Meteor timing, and Valley of Kings follow-up (basically gets you free double production of one empowered Migdol). All of which have been nerfed significantly now. So, not the best time to play Egyptian right now. At some point they will need to buff the Egyptian army, most of all the Migdol units. Just no way around it. Heroic is where the big power spike of Eggy is supposed to be and funnily it hits like a wet noodle 😂. It's pretty obvious and basically has been stated by all content creators and high-level players alike. I think the reason it hasn't been fixed yet is because it will take some bigger changes and the devs wanted to go with small adjustments at this early phase of the game. Cause I lack the phantasy that they could somehow be oblivious to this since its so balantly obvious 😅. So yeah, us Ra enjoyers will have to wait a bit longer - will all be worth it in the end 😊🎉.

Yes 0.1 div dmg is like nothing

@@Tomil4444 oh wow. This thing used to murk villies and farms

@@mhendricks125 yeah and even as that specific god power u almost can kill 2 villagers insane gp as 3rd age
