Ammon

Build Application

Players who pick Ammon typically commit to a focused combat strategy from the opening, since the advisor's bonus (warships can attack and see 20% farther) compounds with every related upgrade and tech research.

In ranked play, Ammon appears more often on the climb to upper-tier ladders. It rewards repetition and refined build orders rather than reactive play.

Players coming back to Age of Empires Online will find Ammon still relevant in current meta builds, especially those leaning into the combat archetype.

• Hatshepsut (Common, Age IV) — War Elephants deal 4% more damage
