When in classical for greeks, and create an army with ~the same number of toxotes, hoplite and hippikons is it better to buy:
medium infantry, medium archers and medium cav
or
copper weapons, copper plate and copper shields?

your quotes are totally meaningless, unless there is a hidden meaning there. doesn't that count as spam moderators?

If one of each, I don't know. If you had either an archer/hoplite or archer/hippikon combo I would have upgraded my archers (toxotes). It only costs wood and gold, not food. And early on food is normally very precious.
Well, I think if I had to spend it on something I would spend it on copper weapons.

Armory would be better in that case if you have an equal # of tox, hipps and hoplites against an identical army than getting copper weapons/copper shield/copper armor would be better IMSO because that would equal a line upgrade and it would affect all ur units but im not an expert like Dap or Ubermode so I'm kinda guessing

I would say copper weapons give more bang for buck than any copper armor if you have a 1-1-1 army. Because armor gives you 10% less vulnerability to a certain type of attack, not 10% extra armor. This means that units with either high hack armor (hoplites) or units with high pierce armor (hippikon) will benefit less from it. Everybody enjoys the 10% damage bonus from copper weapons though. So, yeah, get my point?

the meduim upgrades don't only give more hp's, but also +1 attack.
i think going for the meduim upgrades first is best. since as soon as you get the resources to do one, you can do one. for armor you need to pay 150 wood for the armory first. if you only have 300 food and 200 gold and 50 wood at a point and no armory, the choice is easy to make.
on a water map it is more usefull to ahve 15 archer ships with pierce armor, than 17 without pierce armor. the 15 will win
