Is titan difficulty impossible?

[Yamaraja666]

On mission 4, can't get enough gold to build a single unit before I get curb stomped by an army 10x the size, with them having upgraded units and everything. What the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ is wrong with this game. It's not even fun, it's not even a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ challenge the game balance is just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

[Mesmerion]

yeah, same for me...i managed to do the 3 or 4 first missions in Titan then i lowered by one level because i retried 5 times and impossible to pass.

you are not titan enough

[Lucky]

it's definitely possible, just build centaurs and hoplites and you're good.

[Yamaraja666]

Ok so people saying it's possible. Explain your strategies. By the time you can even get 2-3 villagers to the mine, they send 50-100 units that are heavy units... While your units are not even upgraded. By the time you get enough gold for 2-3 hoplites, your entire town is being razed. It doesn't make any sense. You get hit with 20-30 heavy infantry and cavalry from the west and north and 30-50 heavy archers from the north. Why the ♥♥♥♥ do you start with 14 cavalry, 2 heros and no upgrades for the units and get hit with full ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stacks of 50-100 units at once that are fully upgraded.

I'm watching the time, right before the 5 minute mark is when they throw 50-100 heavy troops at you while also attacking you from the sea. Which is why I don't understand how this is possible at all.

[GuessWho?]

Can somebody please post a video of them completing this on titan. Thanks

Trick to Level 4 Titan is be early aggressive. Attack the Trojan TC on the left immediately and mine that gold. Then go attack their caravans, wall up left side of map, build fortress and tower on right were more gold is but don't wall so AI sees opening that you use as kill point until you are powerful enough to land push the Trojan ally and then onto Trojan gate. while this is going on build ships and take out the Trojan ally navy and kill their docks, make sure the docks stay dead. Level 4 is not easy but if you can beat it you will be fine for the next few.

Trick is to rush and abuse hydras

Honestly, the starting army will get you through first wave of red and pink. AI does not utilize siege to attack so that means it's wall time. Near you is a nice narrow passage. Plop a fortress there and a wall. This is where all reds come to die. Some might spill around the hill but that doesn't matter. Spam centaurs to help with clearing reds at the wall and pink.

When reinforcements arrive use that siege tower to clear red TC to the left. Also, pick the 2 relics one close to the left other a bit above enemy TC. When comfy tech up to Hephaestus and smash pink for being a nuisance. At this point you can't lose so build up some golden gigachads and go clear the gates.

Use your own caravans to trade with that second TC you pushed. No need to go mining when we have gold at home.

It is not possible. The AI cheats to artificially prop up the difficulty.

Mission 4 is quite easy. Just ignore the water completely. A wall next to the trees helps delaying the archers. Then simply park your army next to the gold mine and kill them over and over till you reach the next age age. Hydras having the tw:wh buff of regeneration clear everything up and heal themselves.

However, I'll have to warn you. Mission 5 is 50 times harder. I gave up on titan at mission 5.

You start in age 3, while they go up to age 4 within seconds. Soon, you'l get attacked by 20 elite cav. You can easily defend it with bronze or restauration. Then, They'll continue attacking with gold colossos, catapults, infantry, cavalery every 3 minutes. And they focus on sniping villagers. Difficult is more reasonable as difficulty.

I've finished the Greek portion of the campaign on Titan. There are a few challenging missions, but those are all possible.

[santi91mol]

I want to say this: the old campaign in Titan difficulty was easy.... AI didnt attack in some missions and i remember that the CD version of the game was more challenging. If there are some missions that are hard, i´m glad. it means that there is a new challenge, a new strategy. i must admit that sometimes it will look impossible, but i that case you have to know how to Micro your battles... Anyhow, im sad that they changed the voice actors hahaha, the rest seems ok (in my opinon )

[Saica-Fox]

idk man i watched the best aoe streamer the viper beat all mission so far on titan in campaign maybe ur not just that good no shame in lowering the difficultly if u cant beat why do u want to suffer

[DaciValt]

Have managed to reach mission 12 and I'm struggling, mythics decimate my troops every attack coz there are so many of them.

Mission 8 was no joke either.
