Exciting to see Tigerboss showing up with his Hades, but he’s on his last life here, will he be able to survive?

What a win indeed!
I liked Atlantean but at a very top level it shows what happens. Greek > Atlantean, Norse > Atlantean, Egypt > Atlantean (but harder to master progressively and know what to do). The Atlantean army comp is just weaker and they have less options other than the Vortex. But basically they'll always lose and have to compensate with tower building and try every little thing possible. You may say the game has a 'great balance' but in reality lategame atlantean is lacking, other than potentially getting things early (like titan right away etc..). If they don't manage a super effective rush then Atlantean has no real late game advantage. In reality Greek played to match Atlantean will result in a Greek win and so on, especially Zeus who offers a great 1-way win strategy and can actually push through if you make it to lategame. The player here just doesn't understand greek, he would be better spamming out Hypaspists and playing different units, like the type he will spaz out and maybe be hard to rush, but he will ultimately lose to a good player like 80% of the time. Probably the Oranos player was actually a bit better but he lost because Atlantean can't push, especially against Hades. Just making Arcus and towers can't really outpush against Hades or Greeks, it will be stalled forever, they have no late-game option except trying to get the titan. But people just generally think it's some top tier easy-2-play god, even tho mistakes were made. Speed is useless if they have an army, but people are stuck with the unoptimized 2001 views (low IQ) that made Atlantean look like its too strong when spamming Turmas. A Egypt or Greek fast mythic is better than Atlantean especially the 1-way strategies like Tornado or Plenty Vault, it's like going to 'hard mode' to 'easy mode' when switching from atlantean. Imo the player here didn't actually 'win', but was simply good at playing Hades and won by a few seconds (actually other civs build titan and wonder 'faster' than Atlantean lol), Atlantean will always be 'catching up' or stalling , and their eco is so much worse that deciding to take all villagers to not gather in lategame is not an option usually, (unlike the other civs who acquire extra stockpiles, and can afford to stop gathering for a while). That's y my 'lazy choice' to win all games is usually Zeus not something like Kronos or Oranos. Their pop gets used up and if it's 'stalled' or there's no advantage then usually it favors the non-Atlantean civ. It's not just talk, 34:00 look how he's losing gruond even with towers and units, and he can't afford to build with more villagers or he's basically out of resources especially food. Even tho he is stupid in this game, the titans would just trade each other off, and then what? Hades vs Atlantean is an ez win.
MAN what a finish! The suggestion for sky passage up by the greek market is very smart, one day Oranos late game will be mastered
LOL… nice game
