Do you guys ever make Hersir after you age up to heroic?
I feel like godi being ranged brings so much advantage that making hersir is redundant at that point. Godi are pretty effective at sniping down melee myth units(MU) and are the best choice against ranged MU. Hersir on the other hand, are pretty weak against archers, have a good chance of getting stuck in the heat of battle, can’t attack air MUs, and also there is a good chance that the new pathfinding priorities will actually just ignore your orders and just make herirs attack nearest unit.
I just had a game where the norse player made full godi and I made full pop fanatics and the godi won. No idea why he was making godi when I didnt have any myth units. I had a different game with destroyers vs arcus and they lost as well. Archer units seem too strong and I don’t know how to counter archer balls in general.
Usually I don’t do it anymore when I am age 3 or age 4. The exception is when I play Loki, because Hersirs help a lot to spawn the mythical units for free.
I kinda find godi pretty weak against anything other than myth units if I’m honest… But I don’t play that much so maybe I’m wrong.
I remember the first day retold came out I got matched against a hades player. He was pretty meh, kind of weak macro and resource management, Late age up time and also some other stuff. I decided to start a fight and he had only massed toxotes and manticores. I completly lost to it. Since then I started using huskarls against archer spam and have never lost since. But I don’t know the reason for me not losing to toxote manticore spam is because I have learned to play against it or the fact that both of those units got nerfed massively.
That’s actually a pretty good use yea.
