Building up a very strong army made up of powerful humans and legendary myth units is a very important part ofAge of Mythology: Retold. Military might is everything when you’re forced into a combat situation; otherwise, your base will be overrun and your buildings crushed.
In a regular game, the mighty Titan is the strongest unit you’re able to get in the game. These gigantic fiends were once the selling point of an entire expansion pack for the original Age of Mythology, and they are still here ready to tear apart your foes with aplomb and efficiency. But how does one go about recruiting one?
What Is A Titan?
Titans areincredibly powerful myth unitsthat are only recruitable through very specific buildings once you hit the Mythic Age, the final age of the game, and even then, only if you have Titans enabled in the game settings.
By default, a Titan has28,000 hitpoints, large armor stats, a ton of damage, and an attack that deals damage to an area. They are entire armies in one gigantic unit, and they only take upten population units.
Notably,Titans cannot be transportedusing naval or flying transport units. However, they canwalk across water, which negates the need for such transportation.
Since Titans are myth units, anybonuses you have that apply to all myth units(whether they be from a minor god’s technology or a garrisoned relic) will apply to your Titan.
There arefour Titan designsin the game, one for each pantheon.
How To Get A Titan
Firstly, getting a Titan requires that you have Titans enabled when setting up a Skirmish (or that you’re expected to build one by the campaign map you’re playing).
Getting a Titan is a three-step process:
During our testing in Retold, we wereunable to construct more than one Titan in a game, but an ally and a foe of ours were able to construct multiple. We believe this to be a bug, with the intended mechanic being only one Titan per player per game.
How To Beat A Titan
To begin with, the best counter to a Titan being built by a foe (and you will get notice of this, just as you would a Wonder) is toprevent them from building it in the first place:
If the enemy is able to build their Titan, however, you’ll likely be forced tobuild a Titan of your ownto take them down. All Titans are identical, so you’ll be forced tosupplement your Titan with a large armyto be able to take the opposing Titan down and hopefully engage them away from your buildings so they don’t take collateral damage.
Heroes and their bonuses against myth units are also vital to this task:
You may think thatZeus’s Bolt poweris enough to deal with a Titan in one shot - it is not. It will onlyget rid of half of a Titan’s health. This can be used to your advantage, but don’t neglect more standard methods of dealing with the threat.
