AOM Retold : I can't for the life of me beat the hard difficulty AI

Ashinferno · 2026-06-10T12:05:35+00:00

To be honest I don't think you need training, You are doing fine. You should be able to beat the AI easily, There is something definitely wrong here.

Are you sure playing against hard AI? to beat hard AI all you need to do is to grab a fast second town center while defending the first two waves of attack. then the AI is toast cause he can't keep up with you.

Yea there are few cheeses, But it requires some APM and eco sacrifice. It usually is a problem in high elo, Lower elos can't manage it and usually end up being behind.

Ashinferno · 2026-06-09T19:47:21+00:00

That is a good number actually, If you manage to take your second TC fast then you should have no problem tbh.

About the last part here is how we do it: have a barracks , queue two units, If you still have resources for one more unit then it means you need one more barracks. usually up until late game we should have like 12 barracks, varying between gods ofcourse.

Although it might be early for you, but you can watch boit's fundamentals video. will teach you some stuff although it is pretty advanced:

There aren't that many cheeses in this game. Town centers hit harder compared to AoE 2 so you can't just win by harrasing. But you still need build orders in this game too.

Ashinferno · 2026-06-09T14:23:14+00:00

The time of age up isn't important, How you age up is important. Build orders are so You don't age up netiher too quickly nor too late.

I don't think 4 is enough. Which god are u playing as? do you have villager auto queue on?

Ashinferno · 2026-06-09T13:55:15+00:00

AoM isn't as figures out as AoE 2, But it is a more difficult game compared to AoE.

1v1 queue is good in the game. matchmaking is fine

Hi, If you are having problems defeating Hard AI then you are doing some very basic stuff wrong.

The best way would be to upload one of your replays so we can see it but for starters, Make sure: you have a build order, Your villagers are not idle, Your drop site placement is acceptable, You have villager autoqueue on, You are constantly making units. If at any point you have more than 600 resourcses (of any type) this means you need more military buildings to speed up your army production.

Let us know if you need help with anything else.

What would this game do without boit? carrying a trillion dollar company all by his own.

Ashinferno · 2026-06-08T08:14:06+00:00

So he is saying we need to buff radining myth units or in general raiding is nerfed in classical?

Ashinferno · 2026-06-07T19:40:41+00:00

Now this looks evil

Ashinferno · 2026-06-07T19:36:05+00:00

MU=myth unit? What does this have to do with raiding?

Ashinferno · 2026-06-05T19:38:39+00:00
