I agree most of the gps in this game are incredibly underwhelming. Others are too powerfull.
GPs thats suck
ShIFTING SANDS it teleports too few people Especially the enemy wich is really the only ones you ever need to teleport. Also it never teleports the ones you tell it to if at all. It never works right. Also ptah gets a crappy myth unit.
LOCUST SWARM One this god power has zero use in heroic so why don't we get it in classical where its actually usefull. And two is why does'nt the norse or greek get it. I mean really the eggies are the only civ that almost exclusively depend on a farm economie. And since they start there farming in archaic this gp is only usefull to the norse or greeks. Why does Egypt even have this.
Eclipse does anyone ever use this GP.
Forest fire is a joke. It should'ne even be called a gp.
Fimbul winter is also a gp thats rather useless in mythic. If it were a heroic Gp it might of been somewhat more usefull. But as it is its pathetic. And i'v yet to see even one of my caravan be killed by this gp. Hit bell in your tc and you won't lose a single ville. And the whole 30 seconds of disruption to my economie is laughable in mythic when most of us have piles of resourses stocked anyway. The myth unit sucks also. The recon is actually goo though.
Ragnorak is rather useless 90% of the time. And sometimes its more of a death snetence. Since it puts you over the pop slot and you lose all your villies. Your eco will be devistated and you won't be able to make anymore till your heroes die. If it is'nt a death blow it's suicide.
Curse is a sad GP. Only becasue they made it so weak. Its laughable. It could have been really cool. But alas instead you get a few pigs bAh.
Pestilence can be good would be better if it affected more of an opponents barracks or all of them at the time. The barracks overbuilding and forward building almost negate this gp.
Restoration is another crapper GP but minotaurs are good.
Plenty i also find to be rather useless. If it was a heroic age Gp it would make more sense but by mythic we all have caravans going full force. A full economie. And plenty one does'nt bring in cash fast enough to make a diffrence one way or another and two draws alot of attention your way.
The good GPS are
Lightning storm
earthquake
Underworld passage
Bronze
Frost
meteor
tornado
I personally like the nidhogg and thinks he's rather a powerfull beast. Just go mass jarls withhim take out ranged and let him clean up the ground forces.
Son of osiris i find to be much weaker and die a little to fast to be usefull.
Other than most of the other gps can be usfull.
But really the only god that feels like a god to me is zeus. He has the best collection of gps and myth units. To bad the greeks are'nt competetive though.
