set has limited apeal nowadays as his animals were weekened a bit to much in the titans.
however if you go with him he has alot of powerful strats.
A few examples.
-scout the map and save vision, in the second age build an army, then use vision on the enemy base (to get LOS) then shifting sands ontop of his villies.
-heroic age god is dependent on your enemy. Getting raided hard? or is the enemy hidding behind towers or walls? go Sekhmet for the citedel/stronger siege respectivly. getting attacked by alot of myth units, or if the enemy has raided you quit heavely and has now taken the age lead (and is headding to a titan) then Nehphysis will help your priests take it.
-final age. Thoth is normally the best choice (not because of book of thoth buth because of "vally of the kings" researched at the midgidel stronghold. it will grant you practically (exspecially if you get the training upgrades as well) instantly trained midigedel units. Build a few midgedels near the enemy. if you have a strong eneough economy very little can stop a constent stream of elephants and chariot archers. this is because they kill X. X then must be rebuilt which takes 45seconds ish. in that time you also kill Y and Z. the enemy manages to kill possibly a elephant. this is allready out and back at the enemy city.
However Horus is also a strong plan. Comined with sets slinger bonus, it grants the egyptions a strong (low pop!) army. if you go this way spend all favour on upgrades for barraks units (definetly take Phat!). Mass them then attack. Aim to have an army that is balanced in numbers.
Things to merise:
- Set loses out on some of the egyptions most useful God powers (eclipse,locusts,SoO) and also is generally weaker than the other two egyptions.
-Sets animals CAN be hunted. they grant Less food than thier wild counter parts though, so in desperate times remember its still OK to hunt them (but dont convert wild animals so you can hunt them).
-lern sets unique bonuses, play off them.
-When the aponent advances know what god powers he now has. if he has eclipse, expect a myth force at some time, if he has restoration you need to beable to hold of an invicible force for 5 seconds then kill it.
- shifting sands is the most versitle God power. remember:
- it cant shift as many enemy units as it can shift ally units so if you use it to attack villies shift your raidders to them.
- Shift can be used in a strong attack to shift away part of the enemy army. remember aim for the units at the back of the enemy army (so you dont shift your men aswell.)
well thats my general set overview enjoy.
