A guide for Oranos I put together from multiple other sources Resources I put this together from multiple other sources. Notably: http://aom.heavengames.com/strategy/articles/32/ https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1jfQ-480mTvjhqe5VCFh95aKcYxs13ImwWqI8KMh_U9k/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1cwORYWFG0 Oranos 4:30 Build Order Easy to learn and execute Effective at all levels of play Balances Economy and Aggression Also works for Kronos and Gaia Is the most commonly used Build Order for 1V1s Works on all land maps Archaic Age (4:30 Build Order) Auto-queue villagers Build economic guild and upgrade to hunting dogs Send free scouts around the map Get 2 food villagers Get 1 wood villager Get 1 gold villager Build house with gold (or wood) villager Get 2 more food villagers Build temple with gold (or wood) villager (Time should be around 3:05) Get 1 more gold villager Stop auto-queuing villagers Start advancing to classic age (Prometheus) Move 1 food villager to wood Upgrade to hand axe and pickaxe When you got 120-150 gold move 1 gold villager to wood Classical Age (Prometheus) There should be 2 food, 3 wood and 2 gold villagers Auto-queue Prometheans (Not necessarily and only until 115 population) Build 2 counter-barracks Build 1 house Build 1 barrack Auto-queue Turma, Murmillos (until 115 population) Use the Valor god power on one villager and 3 military units/oracles Harass your enemy’s hunt sources and guard your own hunters Harass your enemy’s wood and gold sources Build more houses (until you have 115 population space) Try to get 3 town centers early on New villagers all go to wood Put 8 citizens on farms Build an Amory Start advancing to the heroic age (Theia) Build 3 or 4 barracks for Arcus Heroic Age (Theia) Place the tree god power near the town center (to protect from other god powers) Get economic upgrades Build a palace Train Destroyers and Arcus Build market (trade wood for gold, gold for food, if necessary) Quickly start advancing to mythic age (Hekate) Mythic Age (Hekate) Quickly get the titan and/or attack the enemy with the help of Tartarian gate Get Mythic Rejuvenation for your titan General Tips Don't build sky passages too early into the game, they are fairly expensive Take a 2nd Town Center (around 8:30 if you don’t lose too many soldiers, take it even earlier against Egyptian, right after you harass him off hunt.) Attack your enemy on his 2nd Gold Mine (His first 3000 gold runs out at about ~10 minutes in game usually, a bit later for Greeks.) Your goal: Either gold starve your opponent, secure a 4-2 TC advantage or gain a large economy advantage and win in the mythic age with Tartarian Gate and a push or build a Titan Gate Stymphalian Birds are very powerful against Norse, and Lampades can be used to counter big myth units such as Fire Giants and Colossus Try denying your opponent gold by controlling gold mines and their trade route If you choose to go for a Titan Gate, place it next to Hesperides Tree to protect it from God Powers Controlling your oracles to constantly be walking instead of standing still is better for collecting pigs/goats/cows After advancing, try to hide your oracles near settlements and gold mines to get vision of them It is often worth using Shockwave just to pick off one or two units Turma can dodge most projectiles while moving (this is only the case for Oranos, and not for Kronos and Gaia) See more general tips and resources here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2660726966
