step on my toes.... i saying that IMO strylian birds are not worth the 25 favor they cost. remember, as atty you cannot control the favor you get, so youhave to use it wisely. IMO, sytlian birds are crappy against all civs but norse.

Maybe I shouldn't talk too loud here since I am a norse player, but Stymphalian bird spam is really annoying for norse players. :P
And see, norse aren't effective against them until heroic when they can get Axe of Muspell. So the only way for the norse to defend himself against Stymph spam is to tower up and reach heroic or keep you from getting 3 tc's.

There are a few MUs that I always mass (5+ at a time), and Stymphalian birds are one of them - Greece and Norse especially have a hard time against them. Some others are Petsuchos, Hydras and Manticores.

rheia>egyptian...
its really annoying...
the only reason that Rheia>Egyptian is because elephants are too slow to catch the SLOW BEHEMOTHS (who are slightly faster), and egyptians don't have too many counters to behemoths.
priests, and units with hack damge (wadjets are okay), but when they send them in as masses, its really hard to take them down..
I find that I have exceptionally hard time against kronos, possibly as his are cheaper and he has access to heroes cheaper.. and siege being cheaper is never fun either.

axeman and miggy/TC fire > Destroyers.
mercs > Destroyers.
trust me against eggy, rheia much much better.
with atty though, i find if you heroize the destroyers, and go through hyperion, chaos the enemy axeman, and retreat... give yourself about 40 seconds, you'll be healed, go back in, and do it again!
