Part 20

Master Age of Mythology Part 20 with advanced culture strategies for Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Odin, Thor, Loki, Ra, Isis, and Set. Optimize your civilization's strengths.

General Tips:

1. Create a dynamic army by mixing unit types (e.g., archers against infantry, infantry against cavalry).
2. Attack strategically, only engaging in battles you can win. Flee if outnumbered.
3. Avoid sending troops in small, isolated groups unless absolutely necessary or advantageous.
4. If villagers are raided, move them to a new, distant location to harvest resources. Spread out settlements to prevent repeated raids.

Civilization-Specific Strategies:

• Zeus: Save Bolt for Nidhogg/Son of Osiris or a hero/myth unit. Use Hoplites and Myth Units against buildings. Myrmidons are effective against Norse/Egyptian opponents.
• Poseidon: Cast Lure near the Town Center. Utilize cavalry bonuses by creating Hippikons for economic raids.
• Hades: Cast Sentinel only when a Town Center is under attack to conserve its use. Mix archers with towers and Gastraphetes for building destruction.
• Odin: Use Great Hunt on large animal herds. Advance quickly to Heroic by hunting. Build Hill Forts near enemy resources and defend with infantry.
• Thor: Build Dwarven Mines in Mythic Age for maximum gold. Prioritize Dwarves over Gatherers for efficient food and wood gathering; consider mining gold from the start with only dwarves.
• Loki: Cast Spy on enemy scouts. Combine numerous Myth Units with strong infantry and throwing axemen.
• Ra: Save Rain until after reaching Classical Age with many farms. Advance to Heroic quickly, build a Migdol Stronghold, and focus on camels and chariot archers.
• Isis: Use Prosperity on a gold mine with sufficient laborers. Utilize Flood of the Nile early for free food. Build scattered monuments to prevent enemy God Power usage; delete and rebuild to relocate. Use obelisks in remote locations for enemy troop movement intel. Optimize population for military or economy.
• Set: Use Vision in mid-Classical to scout enemy troop types and counter them. Convert animals with priests for later use or early raids. Research Feral technology for stronger animals. Animals strengthen with each age. Build numerous barracks and siege camps as buildings cost less; train Slingers and Chariot Archers quickly for large group attacks.
