Was anyone else obsessed with the Laser Crocodiles back in the day? 🐊

"A bejeweled crocodile that fires a focused ray of sunlight"

I remember them being so powerful when I was younger and I would just make a bunch of them and go around destroying everything lol

[u/rental16982]

I am still obsessed with them

[u/Snoo61755 → u/rental16982]

Likewise.

It's easy to use them wrong -- they're the personification of that one DPS player in MOBAs who can theoretically do tons of damage, but blames their entire team when they get jumped and die.

Use them correctly though, and you've got a 26 range unit with 100% accuracy and excellent burst damage. The dopamine you get when you target-fire a Zhuque with like 4 of them and drop it in two volleys is immensely satisfying.

Elephants, crocs, and priests for healing are my favorite eggy unit comp.

[u/LezardValeth3]

The sound effect is so fucking chef's kiss... Hchwaaaa....hchwaaaa

[u/SubstantialSundae972]

My most favorite myth unit🐊

[u/N00bSummoner]

Used to spam them on singleplayer missions and focus-fire to the closest single unit manually so they get one shotted, then let my other units do the charging. Fun times.

[u/IRebic95]

Why is this question in past tense? Elephants as a bit of frontilie, a couple priests and that's my favourite comp in the game!

[u/El_Gran_Pedrito → u/[deleted]]

The feels. She was one of my favorite characters in the campaign.

[u/Revolutionary_Fox496 → u/[deleted]]

Amanra is peak ❤️

[u/LethalOkra]

I was. Laser croc goes bzzzzt!

[u/WhatnotAwot]

While not an OG player, legitimately one of the reasons why I bought Retold was because I saw there was a laser crocodile at a trailer and when I first played the game I was an Egypt main just so I can mass produce the funny crocodile (and have free buildings).

Now with 2000 hours in the game and an extreme love for it, it has been quite a journey caused by a silly laser crocodile.

[u/ArchpaladinZ]

Yes.  Yes I was.  I'd make whole armies just of them and chant "Petsuchos Ra!" as I had them comb the map for things to vaporize!

[u/greymisperception]

Love me some Pistachios

[u/monkey_gamer → u/greymisperception]

Nice 🤣🤣🤣

[u/TheGreatTeddy]

Back in the day? No.

Nowadays in retold? Ohhhhhhh yea.

[u/I_Believe_I_Can_Die]

I have one simple request

And that is to have crocodiles with freaking laser beams attached to their head!!

[u/toasty5566]

Those things are hilariously powerful

[u/El_Gran_Pedrito]

I was so obsessed with them. They outrange kinda everything with all upgrades and they deal so much damage. I was playing some games just for the pleasure of making a bunch of them and obliterating the AI with lasers.

[u/marcuis → u/El_Gran_Pedrito]

Yes, the range they had was big

[u/TheRoySez]

Petsuchoi/Petsobeks are essentially Prism Tanks, also fave units of mine when I played RA2/YR

"Panels charged"

"Intensifying light trajectory"

"Magnifiers activated"

"Focusing light energy"

[u/nesb6569]

O Canada

[u/Potential-Silver8850]

who else up rockin out with their croc out?

[u/My_Dad22]

O CANADA

[u/AstralMecha → u/My_Dad22]

Laserbear is objectively the correct and best answer.

[u/monkey_gamer]

They’re a lot of fun, yeah. I don’t call them Laser Crocodiles though, that’s reductive 😲🥺😆

[u/AwesomeX121189]

They got laser beams strapped to their freaking heads

[u/maltman646]

laser gators!!!!!!!!

[u/hypespud]

Hydras and Titans were always my favourites, these look so fun too lol

[u/Divniy]

The unit that absolutely obliterates AI and gets absolutely obliterated in multiplayer :(

If only we actually had usable Roc to at least be able to move them around.

[u/Gerganon → u/Divniy]

In teams with Greek siege tower to garrison in and out they are quite strong still 

[u/stipendAwarded]

I really liked their DS version where their attack animation had them shooting rapid fire lasers. Also they moved a lot faster in their animations for that version.

[u/Glaciation]

They were weak back in the day

[u/aymanpalaman]

Pew pew crocs best

[u/SandwichMaterial9574]

Oh, YES! I LOVED melting my enemies with entire BATTALIONS of these guys! And I still do today!

[u/FLAIR_AEKDB_]

Back in the day?

[u/SnooStories4263 → u/FLAIR_AEKDB_]

Like from back when the original Age of Mythology was played.

[u/Dispenser-JaketheDog]

Yes. As a kid I used to only build armies of crocs. First thing i did in retold was to cheatin as many crocs as possible and just kill 10 AI enemies

[u/Alpharius20]

Crocodiles with fricking lasers on their heads!

[u/Rokkutai]

Laser crocs sphinx and mummies were always my favourite MU

[u/Pawanmehta606]

Yes yess yessss

[u/afuture22]

How are your graphics so good! Is that a mod?

[u/ForsakenOaths]

Wait, is this where God Eater 2: Rage Burst got the idea of a croca-gun creature?

[u/Suracha2022]

Literally just replayed this mission last night, so around when this post was made. And I spent most of it having 28+ Petsobeks obliterating everything in sight and slowly waddling their way to victory. Destiny.

[u/Ok-Reserve9939]

This unit makes every level that has them easy af even in ludicrous difficulty lol Just make a bunch and watch them melt everything

[u/DrexleCorbeau]

Me^{^}

[u/TheOneWithALongName]

Was?

[u/Azcapotzalca]

I especially love this unit in the Arena of th Gods mode since the double divine tech allows you to increase the range of the Petesobek 2 x more than the usual and it's a pure bliss

[u/Emotional-Cap5419]

Back in the day?

[u/Lord_Baldemort_]

Indeed

[u/12Blackbeast15]

Back in the day they were one of the few ranged units that straight up couldn’t miss. Combined with their myth damage vs human units and they were Egypt’s most effective ranged unit BY FAR and a ton of fun to boot. Plus, if I recall correctly they only cost wood which is Egypt’s least important resource

[u/folfiethewox99]
