I'm very new to AoM and I've been playing some random maps against an easy computer. I like the Greeks the best, they seem easy to pick up. Same with the Atlanteans although they seem to have weaker god powers and some bizarre military units (anit-archer ranged cavalry). I don't like the Norse at all, as the need to rush bothers me.
Witht the Egyptians, I had a problem starting an economy.
1. I understand that Egyptians need more gold then the other civ's and less wood, so are caravens imperative?
2. Should farming replace other food methods? If so, what age?
3. Where do you have your pharoahs empower?
4. Should you have monuments built as soon as possible?
5. Are Basthet's economy improvements worth her weak god power and myth unit?
Thank you for any answers.
