Is this Myth Unit Actually Good? (Ra vs Thor) - AoM Retold 

I was hopeful for a moment because they’re not terrible units, you just have to make sure they don’t get slapped because they’re made of tissue paper. They’re kinda like mini versions of the Age IV Atlantean abomination units that puke acid. I can easily see them being used in defensive ambushes but raiding with them often means you will be just losing them lol They an easy question easy answer unit What will they do? Melt human units pretty quick. How do you deal with it? Just attack them if they’re in play they’re probably the army’s backbone early on. Now they just have mediocre barracks units.

The problem with Egypt in high level ranked is simple - they don't have any fast Classical era human units. Sure, they got slingers that have range & damage with the right minor god. And they got fast myth units. But they lack a human unit for early warfare. They only get fast human units with a Migdol. Their inability to skirmish & raid early game without their myth units (that are also harder to get due to their favor generation) makes them tough to play in high level micro-heavy ranked. Spearmen help in countering some raids, but spearmen can't outrun any of the cav they're meant to counter so they can really only work defensively.

I have about 120 games now just as Ra and it’s interesting. They feel the most unforgiving compared to the other 3 pantheons… but they have some incredibly powerful openers that can completely uproot the opponent’s game plan. If the game goes on you make it to massing elephants fully upgraded w slingers and some myth units, you have a deathball that feels unstoppable, particularly w Ra’s food boom and health bonus to elephants. It’s a tough pantheon to work out for sure, but they are progressively coming up in win rate in the higher elo for a reason.

"they buff the things they dont use" - that's the way it should be, though.

All the buffs in the world won't help if you don't micro your fights. Most of his spearmen were dead by the time his ranged mass fired a shot and when they did it was scattered across the raiding cav.. dunno why people charge in with spearmen, put them next to the slingers and protect them.. slingers have much longer range than TA, pick them off and keep moving away until the TA are dead. Egyptian can compete but they have to play better than that. If it's a struggle try Atlantean. Less eco management = more fight management

Ra is legit super solid atm

give spears slightly higher bonus damage vs cav imo. That way their base DPS is unchanged, so you still cant use em as mainline easily (as intended), but at least then you can get some reward for teching into age 2 counters. Force the enemy to adapt and not all in cav.

@@thembones1895 norse hirdman have like 4 or x5 against cav and eggy spearman what nothing, they just suck hard... also camels are nothing special just 2x, they need forever to take jarl with 300hp
