  1. Suppe really threw this one away. If he'd just sat and gold starved from his initial Cyclops push there's very little his opponent could have done. Then once he did allow Nephthys to come through he didn't push with his army but also didn't send them back to defend Ancestors+Eclipse. It's like he stopped trying to win after the eight minute mark

  2. Myth units in general seem pretty weak and almost never worth training as almost every civ can spam heroes

    Only super cheese strats like early centaur rush used to work but that also got nerfed

    I think heroes need to be nerfed or made very expensive

  3. If he knew he was going for early aggression and a very late second tc, then he shoulda dropped those sentinels very early on. That was the biggest mistake. He also shoulda got the tower upgrade. Towers plus sentinels puts an end to that rush so quick.

  4. God only knows why Soup stopped having his archers camp the base gold mine (and let the Migdol go up uncontested). I think the strat has legs though, if he put sentinel up in his main base and had Achilles at home to protect against raids with archers starving the enemy gold. Think it would be particularly strong vs Norse and Atlantean to a lesser extent. Hersirs get shredded by toxotes and the cost of upgrading towers/heroes at that point is quite an investment.

  5. 5:30 – the name is 上帝的休战, gods ceasefire. it just means that there is a peaceful pause in war due to divine intervention. Also, chinese characters are not kanji in this situation, they are hanzi. Kanji is the japanese word for chinese characters.

  6. Whoever this smurf is, they play a lot of AOE games, probably a veteran of those games (2 or 4) in some way, but not a veteran of legacy AOM. I can tell by the way they play.

    IMO (Elder) Cyclops are strong and slept on but it's a Poseidon thing. Lord of Horses, Thracian Horses, and Posiedon innate speed bonus for cavalry hold way more value than Spirited Charge, so it isn't like he sacrifices having super strong cavalry for amazing things like bow of horror and spear of panic (it even gives that divine damage to militia, neat!). Then the AoE damage of Cyclops scale all game and have big value and are totally worth building throughout from the favor of 3-4 villagers on the temple. Poseidon's flat +0.4 speed bonus for such a slow unit is a much better bonus than the +15% hp of Hades gets too, for making Cyclops feel good to use.
    For Hades, Athena is just better.
