The game is already full of cheese strats

[ChrisS3097]

The game is already full of cheese strats at all levels like the poseidon centaurs, egyptians etc in my honest opinion cheese has no place in an actual competitive game, it's a big turn off, until they make the game more balanced like AoE 2 I don't think I'll play it anymore tbh

brother you have to understand, this is a 20 year old game with some additional changes, vets will know everything, you just have to learn to play the god in a way to counter their cheese, its possible.

Please my brother in kronos watch some comp play.
No cheese strats are winning people matches.

I said almost, not that he won.

Edit: and yes it was shocking for everybody that cheap bs like that took him so far but as you said cheese doesn't win in comp so nobody was expecting it really. That's why it was so effective.

I'm talking about aom comp
not starcraft.

How is an Age game being full of cheese a turn off. That's what we play it for?!

And I gave an example from the RTS genre, as I said. It's not like there are no rush strats in AoM.

You need to get to age 3 before you can do that, good luck fighting in age 2 against that unless he just straight up runs his army into yours

how many centaurs can a dude put on in age 2 without breaking his eco?lets be realistic ull get to age 3 while he got his 3 centaurs u can hold off with heroes easily

You can spam out a whole army without breaking your eco

After the latest patch,
the Greeks will have a much harder time spamming myth units; especially centaurs.

* Centaurs now cost a bit more favor (14 instead of 12)
* favor income of the Greeks has been nerfed: only when you have a lot of praying villagers
* a bug was fixed, for Zeus and Aphrodite's +20% favor income boosts,
that caused much more favor income than was intended. (i.e. much more than +20%)

(i was the one who reported that bug, i tested it yesterday; it was indeed fixed,
and base favor income (without the +20%) was indeed nerfed quite a bit as well)

The Greeks still have more cost-effective favor income than the other factions,
even after these VERY big nerfs to their favor income,
which shows that their favor income was extremely broken before the patch...

But now your eco will actually break, (as it should)
if you are spamming centaurs in early game.
(since you will now need a lot more villagers,
for the same favor income as before the patch,
so also a lot less income for food/wood/gold)

Centaur rush can still be viable, (if you micro it properly)
but at least you can no longer spam them as easily.
