Is Odin OP?

[JakefromStateFarmx420]

Hey guys sorry if this has already been discussed. But I recently stated playing this game again. This is one of my favorite games from my childhood and I used to play Odin alot becuase he was one of the weaker gods and I liked the Challenge.

I recently beat a Hades player and then a Ra player. Both said the only reason I won is beucase I was playing with the most OP god in the game....Are they sore losers or Odin now OP?

imo odin is toptier especially vs atlantean and greek. in tg hes also very strong. But in the balance mod its where odin really shines with his walking woods.

I was playing a game yesterday where i cast walking woods and they didn't do anything unless the enemy walked within a few spaces of the trees. I don't have any mods or anything, but they just sat there the whole game pretty much useless.

And I've never even used the Bogsveigirs. Are they worth using in a 1v1 quick match? I thought they were only good against flying units? I used to just use throwing axes and pop up towers to beat flying myth unit spams.

you can consider bogsveigir a ranged version of the jarl, though their train time is very long, makes them hard to use properly in a real game.

Appreciate the advice I'll definitly give them a try. What type of units comps are they good with? I feel like they would require a lot of extra hill forts.

you never could control walking woods, also thor has always been considered the best norse god, isis always considered the best egggy god. this is from when the game was fairly new and people had most things figured out.

heres how the norse gods always ranked in this game, Thor; best norse god overall, can use dwarves on everything early to have ample food and tech faster, gets better armory improvements, save gold mine for late.

Odin; 2nd best norse god, good hunting early, good hillfort units, good scouting and regenerating units is a plus.

Loki; very weak if not rushing, you can still play him for late game but you have to try and make use of his faster training longhouse units and heros, also have to make use of his better overall myth units, but dont try this vs eggy you will lose everytime, he does have cheaper weaker faster ox carts though.

odin was never really weak, thor was just better, isis was always a powerhouse and lategame greek units are a pain for any army, the addition of chinese added some wtf i thought it was bad enough dealing with eggy players mid/late to the game, the atleanteans are good but bad at the sametime, you cannot afford to lose citizens, you also have really ♥♥♥♥♥ army compositions until heroic and mythic ages, they have like 2 good myth units overall, but there godpowers are overpowered like vortex is very good, as is implode, and the having a heroic age god power you can build from classical, oranos is really good, they are also good because they can start taking TC's early, excuse me they have 3 good myth units i forgot the birds and im not counting sea units because they will rarely ever see action, i guess the trees are ok just to spam to hold back a push but it wont work vs eggy/norse so whatever these are my thoughts on it all.

if you wnt to play good races/civs in this game i would look at chinese/eggy and then greece, norse have always been abit weaker unless you have a very early and often aggressive playstyle.

i dont know why everybody keeps saying this, you NEVER COULD control walking woods, dont believe me? go youtube some old eso footage, i got this game at launch way back in the day and played thousands of hours on ESO, you never could control walking woods, so you have to be smart how you place it, most people just use it to take out as many wood villagers as possible, if vs gaia you can make use of the siege damage because she will put her trees closer to her tc/buildings, dont just cast it if you are not being a meance somewhere else on the map, or they will just walk there villies away and deal with it later.

bragi gives you must better improvements overall and is highly reccommended to go vs eggy anythings due to better ulfsarks vs there eles/camels.
