Golden Gift levels on Titan are bugged

[darkdill]

I was trying to do the Golden Gift missions on Titan difficulty, only to discover that two of them are, frankly, quite impossible to beat. The levels are "Fight at the Forge" and "Loki's Temples".

In the first one, you have to build up and seize control of the Plenty Vault in the center of the map within the first 15 minutes or you lose. Doesn't sound too hard, right? Well, unfortunately, the computer has the habit of attacking me within the first 5-6 minutes with a large force of Hersirs, Heroes of Ragnarok, and Einherjars, as they are getting more trigger-based resources (i.e. ones given to them by scripts so the computer can keep up with a human player) than they are normally supposed to get. Shortly after that initial attack, the enemy reaches Mythic Age and unleashes a Fimbulvinter, pretty much destroying your economy. And if THAT didn't finish you off, then more incoming attacks will seal the deal.

In the second mission, about 5 minutes in (when you have no real army to speak of and you're forced to work on economy first), you get attacked by a Nidhogg and a large army that includes Mountain Giants, Frost Giants, lots of Ulfsarks, etc. IMPOSSIBLE TO SURVIVE.

I have a feeling its the same kind of bug that makes one of the AoE2 missions, A New Duke of Milan, presently impossible to survive. The triggers that give the computer players resources are simply occurring too much, allowing them too large an army at too early a point in the game.

I'm hoping someone from the AoMEE team will see this and hopefully try to fix these bugged missions. I'd rather not have them be impossible to win at.

look it up on youtube, the first one is ridiculously hard but not impossible idk about the second one

From what i can figure you aren't wrong however there is another bug with this campaign that i've found. If you keep resetting eventually the enemy for some reason doesn't attack with the same ferocity it does as if you just booted up the game. I dunno why this occurs it just does. Happens for both the 3rd and 4th level of this campaign. In the 4th level instead of attacking you at about 5:30 they attack you at 10 giving you sufficient time to build an army to throw it back and build. Right now I'm streaming to try and beat these levels as they are and not with this reset level bug.
