Gaia project forums6/1/2023 A farm is 200 wood and take some time to start producing food. You will be contained to your base which means that your only source of food is hurdable and farming. Einherjar, Valkyrie and Trolls will take out Cheiro's really fast and even Hersirs do fairly good against them. The problem, as I see it, is that Loki will come with Hersirs, TA's and some MU's. I would really like to see this done in RL. If people have success with classical fight, by all means feel free to do so, and please provide some recordings for us to study. I have provided links to 2 games for everybody to watch. Well, I have tried both options and TBH the FH is what works for me. And try to make him use undermine too soon, after undermine you can tower up safely. You just cant allow his military to be of equal size to yours, as soon as theres a prolonged fight hell summon MUs and gain momentum. Katas + cheiros in the right proportion (experiment yourself) WILL beat him. Youll be at a disadvantage, but you can win.Īlso dont make too many vills but focus on military. Just retreat all you can, while your cheiros fire. Keep the cheiros WAY back and keep 1-2 katas with them. Katapelts + cheiros + a few turma heroes is the way to go. Forest up your towers, but dont make too many cheiros, hersirs are too fast and can take them out. They are the only ones that can hit at range. IMO you should try to outeco, just dont make murmillo heroes, make turma heroes. Most Loki players will resign immediatly if their rush fails Slowly switch to Murmillo/Arcus army and throw in 8-10 destroyers to take down towers and buildings. If he goes heavy on RC's, build some Katapelts, not too many though, just enough to defend. Nothing worse for Norse than to be popped out and not able to make an ox cart for a remove gather site. When the first assult is beaten back, use your birds to go raiding (preferably hunting and gold). Immediatly cast your GP tree next to TC or gold tower to block undermine. Both counters TA's which is Loki's only counter to Stymph. If much wood make Arcus, if much food - make Contarius. Two barracks making Arcus and Contarius (no AQ) make what your ressources allows you. Make sure your free healer (classical through Oceanus) always are microed to the birds - you are dead if you loose them. You can be in heroic before 7:00 if good hunting and immediatly make a 2nd Stymp. Cheiro's are not solution because they are not very good against Hersirs and can easily be countered with RC's and free MU's.įH is the way to go. If you choose to fight him in classical, you are forced to go with Murmillo and how will you have the food for that ? You most likely cannot hunt because you are contained to your base and farming is too slow to keep steady vill production and Murmillo and have surpluse food to turn Murms into heroes. I have 2 +1700 names with Gaia and I can asure you, that FH is the only thing that works against Loki. While he is harrazing your citizens and guarding hunt and 2nd goldmine, his economy is unharmed and able to boom freely. You cannot out economise somebody who is laying siege on your base. Learn a 7 villy build order for archaic, possibly even 6 villy for hunting maps, and play defensively, get economy going, and out economise him. Hitting his eco: The loki rush is a very cost intensive strat so hitting his eco will have major consequences. So whats the most important point in winning vs loki: Even if u do this perfectly you will still lose vs a decent loki. Whats the use of mu's vs massed hero's? Next to that those extra infantery upgrades are pretty decent as well. This is one of the view situations where i prefer to pick oceanus. Use some small patches of wall to profide a safe guard against rcs which are trying to flank ur cheiros. Most 1700- players will be looking for villagers in the direct environment of ur home tc so move them away a little further. He probably spied one of ur villies so sending 4 villies to a group of giraffe's halfway the map isnt such a good idea. But i'd rather fight loki with gaia then with oranos. I have really big problems with this one as well when im playing attie.
