How do you fight against Titan?

[Starry]

The Titan is attacking my town, eating most of my soldiers and forcing my villagers to hide behind three layers of walls, how would you able to defeat anything that monstrosity?

pray to zeus

Your own Titan or Heroes. A lot of Heroes. One old trick, block the Titans path with unfinished buildings, they will slow it down to a crawl. lots of unfinished buildings.

Be atlanteans and mass hero arcuses/fanatics

That largely depends on your civilization and even major god. I can't say I'm particularly good at this game, considering I rarely play multiplayer, but here's what I feel:

Don't bunch up your units or important buildings. Let the Titan have to walk across the map to kill the next target.

Greek? you only have a few heroes, but mythic age allows your unique unit along with a certain fortress technology that causes said unit to do bonus damage to Myth units. I tend to play Hades (yes I know lol), so Gastraphetes can do a surprising amount of damage while I have high health units micro/kite the titan away from them. I often also keep a small group of Gastraphetes with the archer building damage armory upgrade to raid their houses; if the enemy is focused on the Titan and dealing with micro against it, then it's likely they aren't paying attention to their own buildings untill I already cut their pop limit in half.
... if you aren't in Mythic Age, I'm sorry.

Egyptians? Priests/Pharaohs spam, Son of Osiris. If you want to have the last laugh, you may let the Titan roam free and destroy your units/buildings while you Roc Drop and equally wreck their own buildings/villagers. I love doing that since I'm a terrible, terrible person ;)

Norse? Hersirs/Jarls. I don't have much experience with this or Norse in general, though, but I assume ox carts allow you to easily move your gatherers and dwarves away.

Atlantean? Unit hero spam, but it's not going to work quite as well as you think. I'd rush to your own Titan if you can. Take advantage of the lack of drop sites for your villagers to spread them out so they don't all get killed at once.

You can probably rebuild what's destroyed just as fast as the Titan actually destroys things.

Don't get too focused on the Titan. It will die eventually; split up/move villagers away and recover! You need to focus on spreading out and staying alive; if someone actually bumrushed a Titan, they often have no resources to expand themselves or defend themselves otherwise, so it can actually leave them a sitting duck while you take total map control or destroy everything else BUT their titan. If you threaten them, they often will be forced to retreat their Titan to defend themselves and you'd be the scary one ;)

If you don't have a titan of your own it's usually gg. A titan is like a last ditch attempt to win so stop it before it's released.

basically mass heroes, i think priests are the best since they are cheap and ranged

There are several ways to fight a titan.

As has already been said, heroes are the most efficient way of straight up fighting it. However, unless you're eggy, it is probably not a good idea. This is because greek heroes can't be massed, and thus can be killed by the army with the titan. Hersir kinda suck in lategame (though if you have a few left over from earlier on then by all means use them). Also, both hersir and jarls are melee so they have to actually reach the titan (which can be hard if it is supported by an army. Also note that melee units can't kite a titan - which is far and away the best way of damaging it. Atty heroes are horrendously expensive (and anything other than hero arcus and to a lesser degree hero turma are a waste of time due to being melee - so cav support for the titan can screw you over). Eggy priests/pharaoh (especially with Nepthys upgrades) absolutely murder titans ( and all myth units) so a number of them (10-12) will deal with the titan reasonably well. They also train really quickly and are cheap, so they are not a particularly big sacrifice for the rest of your army.

Your own titan is also a valid response. Note that when fighting titan v titan, upgrades can turn the around. Upgrades that affect titans fighting include: eclipse god power (eclipsed titan will beat any other titan in a straight up fight - I think (it may lose to a bolted titan - idk)), hekate's mythic regeneration tech means the titan regenerates life (though, due to the amount of damage titans do to each other, this is somewhat negligible - it is left with about 150 health, I think), Hera's myth unit tech also buffs titans - though given I almost never see Hera, idk how much of an effect it has. There are a couple of others that I can't think of off the top of my head, but anything that effects all myth units will affect a titan.

However, the best way to deal with a titan is almost always to abuse it's biggest weakness - mobility. Villagers can very easily run from a titan so simply spread out and rebuild elsewhere while raiding your opponent hard/sneaking siege into their base/striking in 2 (or more) places at once. If you can kill all of his villagers (with fast units) while his titan is unsuccessfully chasing yours everywhere.

So probably, to sum up, I would say to split up and spread out while whittling away at the titan with ranged units (preferably fast, but most things are fast enough to kite a titan) and raiding/harassing/doing damage to him as much as possible.

I play Hades against the AI - it seems especially weak against Hades. I spam Chimera and Toxotes. Titans don't damage Chimera very quickly, so 10 or more can unleash a lot of damage on Titans and any units sent in along with the Titan. I focus 15+ upgraded Toxotes on the Titan, plus my 4 heroes, and the Regeneration power. which I use to save the Chimera from being killed once they're finally weakened. I often lose only one or two Chimera and a hero in these attacks, while the attacker loses all defending troops and their Titan.

Just keep the archers away from the Titan's stomp, or they're toast.

Like most sayed here: Heroes, strong Myths(the Titan is also one), ranged and even siege should help. The more updates you have on your units by that time, the better.. prefer Hersirs over Jarls and if Eggy-Nephthys there are updates to benefit priests/pharaos. Ragnarok is also classy, maybe with flaming weapons. (maxed out vills/dwarves + all armory updates would be perfect, but try at least to max out as much as possible)
But be aware that the other guy also has army with which to counter your counter-titan-troops. Or just do more damage to your base (siege) ..

You need to give 3D maneuver gears to your heroic units.

[Smithy]

Something I've been doing in AOM for awhile: As soon as a titan gate goes up you and your teammates rush to destroy it. You only get one also what everyone else said about ♥♥♥♥ tons of heroes

[MR2_Pilot]

I played against a Norse as Attie and built a Titan quickly, when I went to attack his base area, he had built like 30 partially built buildings in my only path, the buildings were placed too close for the Titan to get through, but allowed his units past. My Titan took a long time breaking through, partially built buildings seem to take forever for a Titan to destroy, during that time his Heroes were taking a huge toll. I eventually got through, but not in time to stop him building his own Titan, which took mine down quickly as it only had about 30% left. It's a great strat to use on maps with Titan choke points.

[DragonQ]

Best two things to do are to exploit its bad pathing with buildings and exploit its slow speed by avoiding it and attacking elsewhere. Remember that it costs 20 pop so you can outnumber your opponent's army if you keep them away from the Titan.

[leg]

Well it's beter to to kill important stuff with the titan than use it to fight directly against an army, unless you just feel like killing their army and taking that area would help you to win. If you use a titan to fight an army it shold only be a couple of times. To beat it you spam Hersir( Norse), Heroes (Greek), Priest heroes(Egypt), or make Arcus heroes and Fanatic heroes if you can afford it (Atlantean).
