so i havent played aom in years and just started again a few days ago...
I cant for the life of me beat the computer on moderate.
I simply dont understand how they can create an army so quickly.
Does anyone have any game footage of them playing the comp on moderate that i can look at to see what im doing wrong?

you don't need recs
you just have to do a basic game strategy
constant villager production, up at 5~ mins and then have
just get popped fast

i am playing aom and that video wasnt very useful... by the time it would take to do that, the comp would already be attacking me.

didnt actually watch the rec tbh brian jsut go like 7 or 8 to food 4 to wood 4 to gold and have storhouses or ox carts for each try and be classical by 6 minutes is fine for moderate and just make like 2 barrakcs (1 barracks 1 archery range when greek) and just make a bunch of untis when you get full pop (make houses and never stop villagers, send them to the resources you need) you can ake an armory and go heroic same goes for mythic try and grab towncenters as well town centers = more pop and faster villy production, my lil guide to 1600 11

Yeah, I usually don't.
Sometimes I'll micro one ulf while I have another just running around the map, and sometimes I'll micro both of them.

when i use 2 ulfs it helps
however i shift click them a few steps ahead to keep them moving
in case i have to micro a villager or somethin to kill a boar or w/e
but i usually end up just re shift clicking
it doesn't take long, so why not just plan ahead just in case?
no use in having an ulf stand there o_O

i use 2 ulfs on every map besides medit
but on sav and alf i guess i just wait til i have to build my temple
but for the rest of the maps im scoutin with 2 ulfs
its more efficient ^^

it's not about finding hunt
its about accumulating sheep
especially vs. loki or an athena rush, you might/probably wont be able to finish
hunting everything outside your base
so u need sheepsies for food
also, regardless if it's a loki or athena rush or not, the more sheep u get, the less ur opponent gets so whooptyfreakindoo
and ya i usually dont make 2 ulfs with odin/loki

Can't you just use herdies to scout around your base for hunt while ulf goes out farther?

If you cannot beat the computer on moderate, you are really noob.

'herdables' can't get other 'herdables'
so u might as well get 2 ulfs runnin around to collect the
'herdables'
