If you look at the content and differentiation the Greeks have between their major gods you can see the devs got bored after designing those civs and just threw together the Egyptians and Norse as fodder to get destroyed by Greek players

Each Greek major god gets at least 4 unique hero units with distinct stats and models, Poseidon gets 5 when you include his water UH. Egyptians get a maximum of 3 heros (priest, pharaoh and SoO) and the Norse get a paltry one hero. I get the Greeks had a tradition of heroic figures (as if the Norse did not...), but lets examine other aspects, perhaps things are evened out there.

Units, the Greeks get a unique scout cavalry, a mythic scout unit and Poseidon again gets a mythic sea scout, the Norse' scout is their main infantry unit and the Egyptian scouts are their heroes so there is doubling up there in terms of non-Greek unit roles. On top of this, each Greek major god gets a unique unit late game to add further diversity to their rosters. Hades and Poseidon get a further two unique units in shades and militia units.

Even building diversity it is the same story, Greeks get academy, stables, archery range and fortress, whereas Egyptians only get a barracks, migdol and a siege camp.

Does anybody else think the 2 other civs in vanilla were basically ignored by the devs?

Zeus vs isis advice needed...help me kill my brother...

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 12:54 PM PST

So the little guy demolished me 30:0 in the last few months... He plays isis and storms to mythic. He has great priests so me harrassing with centaurs on classic doesn't really get me a lot and then on late heroics he comes at me with eclipse, moves to mythic and drops meteors on my front base and I don't have much after that trying to both race to mythic and keep a full army pop for his attack...

What strategy would you choose? Pump army in classic, survive and wait for mythic late duel? Maybe something else I'm missing?

Thanks

Some Help?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 04:59 PM PST

I recently bought this game and need some advice about a strategy/buildorder for beginners. I also don't know which God/Civ I should play with and which minor gods I should choose when I'm ingame. Some tips would be really nice. Thanks.
