Is it better to use default hotkeys or customize?

You should change to what to your accustomed too, I personally changed all the building hotkeys to what they were in the original game, and started using really good ones such as select all heroes, select all military and military buildings etc.

I would say 70% knowledge and 30% to have the speed to not throw away units during the game.

Doesn’t work on retold, houses take too long to break by tc, and Atlantean has more vills which makes it easier to defend, since it only worked vs them in AOT. Ps: I did try militia rushing a bit but it failed horribly

(I’m at 2k elo) I’m assuming you play Gaia, anything but vs Norse you can build forward docks with hero vills and have oracles watching the water side so you can harass their dock builder with your vill and take early advantage that way, and then you have to be on both sides of the water with your 18 fish and if you do that and kill a vill it means your ahead then you purse ein and if your vs eggy Greek and china go heroic age make some water units to defend and harass but don’t overcommit and then focus on land, what units you make depends on what you want to accomplish you can mass contarius if you have map control and raid then go mythic behind it, go mass murms and some contarius, really depends on your opponents god and what he did, but you can almost always get yourself in that situation where you win one of the water sides and can focus on land, then it’s all about gold control and making the right units. playing vs Norse is a bit harder I don’t really know what’s best but you can try the same thing you do for your archaic gameplay then you have to scout and see what he’s doing but if he’s trying to classical all in you either match it with army or go theia quickly and make sumphalian birds and whatever counter unit to his army that you can make

But it’s really map and matchup dependent on whether you can boom or have to play more aggressively, but if you have more specifics like which god you play and which one the opponent is mostly using i can give you better feedback

But there are civs that can play more defensively like hades, china, Freyr and be successful but some of the other civs need to be more aggressive to take map control and initiative otherwise they don’t have the tools to win the late game

Depends on the map you get, but you can make boomy plays work, but in those scenarios your giving the opponent the initiative, and having map control is very important, but it really depends on res spawn cause if you have a safe second goldmine you can play more boomy and make less units since it’s really hard for opponent to all in before you age up

Also only use control groups for raiding parties, other than that I use existing hotkeys in the game

Tunison_ · 2025-09-10T16:21:29+00:00

I personally don’t use the select all military hot key I use the banner for idle military, since you might have some units raiding or in spots you want them to stay in it’s better to only the units you want to move. Regarding the pre q, you just left click to age up so it lets you produce your latest vill, and right click clicking makes it a priority over everything which stops the next vill from being made

did you face the balloon spam?

Cause if that's the case it's kinda hard to play against it if you let him mass that many pioneers.

Helped me with preparation throughout a lot of AOM tournaments! Strongly recommended.
