Tried all the suggestions to counter the kronos rush. My poor Greek civ is overwelmed. My new strategy is to immediately resign when I play against Kronos. It is just so lame. Looking for a new multiplayer game.

Maxcide1,
Yeah, your not the only one with that problem. The patch will be out soon. It can be beat, but you have to find the Oracles and kill one before he gets LoS on your Temple. The Oracles have to stand still for a while before he gets LoS, just keep tham moving.
FAILURE is not an option, it comes bundled with the software. The graduate with a science degree asks, "Why does it work ?" The graduate with an engineering degree asks, "How does it work ?" The graduate with an accounting degree asks, "How much will it cost ?" The graduate with an arts degree asks, "Do you want fries with that ?" Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people.

At AoTSancturary.com there are quite a few good rec's where greeks defend very well against kronos. Perhaps you can pick up a tip or two from them.

I can usually fend off Kronos pretty well with greek. Zues is my fav, Hopolites are very good aginst Turma and can be mowed down by katas. The key to stopping kronos is to killing his oricals, and greek have a pretty easy time with this.
Expecially Zues, the key here is getting your hero out ASAP and use your scout to fine his oricals, also if need be you can kill one of the oricals with BOLT! (I know it sounds like a waste but if it savees you from the rush.....) after he gets to the classical age and gets his Promeathiean your hero should still be intact and can take care of him.
You still want to try and get a fast classical and start pumping hops, b/c he is still gonna advance fast and pump Turmas.m
Death comes on swift wings to all who oppose me.....
otherwise you can try playing hades and use the sentinel power then the pestilence on the counter barracks and then build some hippicons and hoplites to counter turmas, and ofcource a hero. a tips is to play against an easey AI and try to advance early as greek.
Kronos Rush
+ Powerfull
- The rusher has a bad economy (Often). If the rush fails the rusher are dead. The rush is not so effective agains egyptians , because of their free tower upgrade and priests etc... You also leave your home unprotected, and If you play 2 vs 2 you can be "Raided" by the second opponent.
