Myth units are overtuned

[R for Reload]

Listen, I've played a lot of quick and ranked matches at this point and myth units are just too hard to deal with, My effective winning strategy is just getting what myth unit does aoe, and get off stupidly good value, I think they just need to lower the damage effectiveness per unit hit besides the main target by quite a bit.


Here's a perfect example of how overtuned some of the myth aoe is: https://i.gyazo.com/eb23ead49323c2f087dc206c1c1c7ab0.gif
but I think the damage here is bugged.
But still way higher then the original game(Atleast formt he damage done to throwing axemen)

But generally I spam Satyr which work the same
5 of them can kill a group easily.

Its good that way, there is still heros, pharaons and priest to kill them

Okay but they didn't tune up most heros.
priests are the only ones who got some sort of a meaningful buff.

Just train heroes and focus fire down the myth units, they will die quickly. Alternatively, train myth units of your own.

Greek is the only civ who got some problems with myth units, the rest do just fine. They need to increase the number of heroes greek can field since we have higher pop now

I've got the opposite experience. Yes hero units counter myth units, but a few archers with manticores/chimeras feels insanely strong even vs myth units.

Yeah thats the only way to counter myth units I feel is having myth units of your own.

This is the quote of someone who has never played online
"jUsT buiLd MoRe hErOs"
Nah I didnt think of that bud.
go play the older AOMs where myth units are as strong as they should be compared to now.

We are talking about countering myth unit specifically. Greek doesnt have enough hero to cover grounds. You can split your myth unit into several directions and their heroes wont be able to be everywhere at once

Train heroes>put them in control group>focus the myth units

I think they are strong as I'd like them to be.

They can turn the tide for what they're built for, and to kill them you have to send in your own myth units or heroes.

I've had trouble vs them when I lack heroes (obviously) or beefy myth units.

Out of all the myth units, I think Hydra is the most busted one, but I LIKE that. Maybe up his cost and make the head count a bit harder to obtain so he has a sunk cost Fallacy. People will LOVE getting it but the enemy has time to counter before they reach stupid damage levels.

Myth units are not overtuned at all, they are supposed to body mortals by the dozen, some of them cost almost as much as the Classical Age Up.

Just train cheap, non-Favour costing Heroes, or make your own Myth Units to counter the enemy's.
