Playthrough of Age of Mythology Retold mission 3 - Scratching the Surface on Titan Difficulty
Ajax is a gigachad and if you think otherwise, he will bash you with his shield.
Atlantean hero arrives to Troy to aid Agamemnon in the siege. Here, he is reunited with old friend Ajax. However, Troy naval reinforcements cuts the greetings short, as both heroes set off to destroy the crucial ports supplying the enemy naval defenses.
This map was changed from Extended Edition - One of ports has been moved closer to your main base, which is good and bad - easier access means you can attack it significantly earlier with less units, for example focusing on Siege Ships or Cyclopses. However, it hampers one of your main expansion positions - and the only way of getting it back is destroying the base residing nearby.
You will however require proper defenses to survive. My personal recomendation is worshipping Dionysus, who provides you acces to extremely powerful Hydra unit - Once you let it grow additioanl heads, it can reap most of enemies on the battlefield with absurdal damage. Add to that upgrades to HP and Regeneration and you have highly competent defensive unit. Take note that destroying the enemy Port awards you with large group of reinforcements. Using them you can quickly snowball and assault enemy second port, that will be gioven a slightly larger protection force.
