OMG, I really don't want to know what your definition of 'overpowered' is. IMO, 'Overpowered' means having several strengths and pros than cons, compared to standard or something other than it.
The Contarius, doesn't cut it. I don't have much going against them. Their attacks, yes are stronger, but their armour quite sucks, which is a real letdown. If they had decent armour, then I would agree with you on them being overpowered, but they don't. You must get Armory Uprgades to improve this setback. Also, they get this atatck boost due to the reason you get them in Heroic. If they were avialible in Classical, as well as the Arcus, they would be far overpowered as Armory Upgrades aren't researched THAT early (unless you're Thor). Thats why they're aviable only in Heroic and are not IMO OVERPOWERED!

i think the best thing with atlantean is the easy favor gathering and quick units.. makes MU a lot easier to get.

coming with a thread like: "'The Contarius' overpowered?" usually attract atty haters.. they spam ur thread full of anti Cont goodness that crushes ur statement.
it was kinda a coincidence u posted this, some days ago i got owned one game after another by a stupid early heroic eggy tactic, i know you are like: "so? why dont you just rush them??" cuz atty's cant really rush that good on a non-huntable map + eggy's get tower upgrade, so i was like... "mhhh what now?"
then i came up with a contarus tactic that really pwns ur ass :@, i knew this tactic would cost me ALOT of favor and you really need the prometheus "heart of the titans" upgrade which also cost 20 favor, so i went training myself to get a tc as quickly as possible, after some hours i came up with a archaic tc tactic, though i slapped myself cuz the tactic already excisted under the strategy central.
anyways, the bonusses of EARLY full upgraded Cont heros/heroines are enormous,
first: there speed is outstanding, the fastest military unit alive (at least i guess)
second: you dont have to buy the expensive "medium cavalry" and "heavy cavalry" for this. (200F 100G + 400F 200G) which gives Cavalry only +25% HP +20% attack, +2 LOS
third: the theia upgrades really gives the most detail, with heavily increased bonus damage vs building, some attack and even MORE speed + there heroes.
of the cost of (300G 12Fv + 300F 35Fv + being hero cost) which gives contarius hero +30% attack +10% speed +huge bonus damage vs buildings +hero upgrade <-- didnt now the upgrades for being hero but im sure thats much)
fourth: getting the pierce armor up is good vs buildings
well ive soon alot of statements about conts:" OMG EXPENSIVE, LACK OF HP, LACK OF ARMOR"
well... i'd made the cost as least as possible and i dont attack units with them, i raid there buildings (10 Conts can take out a military building in 1 sec)
well. after this bit of info i tried it out and powned all the eggy's
extra info: weak against: greek... (zeus will get overpowered hoplites),(hades gets sentinels),(poseidons spawns militia which are also anti cav)
good against" egyptians (especially early heroicers)
im sure this will be helpfull in some games, but dont use it every time, as good players know: "pro's dont use a standard build up, they use different build ups on different maps and vs different opponents"
btw: expirementice with ur econ in classical but try to go heroic as soon as possible
i hope this was helpfull... greets from woodswolf :P
