I think it would be entertaining if we all just listed the gods easist to play to the gods hardest to play, in our opinion. We can also have general discussion about why certain gods beat certain gods in certain scenarios.
1)Isis(OP)
2)Hades
3)Oranos
4)Kronos
5)Thor
6)Zeus
7)Ra
8)Loki
9)Odin
10)Possy
11)Set
12)Gaia
note this is not who is best,just who takes more skill to play and who takes less skill to play.
If you don't like the thread, dont post, thanks.

IMO, its this.
1. Kronos- Krush is even easier to do than 4:30, yet is more powerful
2. Oranos- 4:30 can be picked up in ~3 games, and you can be 1650 after like 5 games.
3. Isis- Easy micro. Very powerful
4. Hades- Increased Stregth Buildings kinda give your enemy a handicap.
5. Thor- balanced and versatile. Hard to master, easy to play.
6. Loki- loki rushes are MUCH harder to do than atty ones.
7. Gaia- atty are OP, any god with little MU isn't too hard for gaia.
8. Ra- tons of variety in strats. Hard to master.
9. Zeus- tough to master, easy to play.
10. Possy- god of horridness, 2nd rate bonuses.
11. Odin- cant counter cav.
12. Set- UBER HARD MICRO.

Well, arguably, the Atlanteans have the easiest time when it comes to beginners, for several reasons. Next to them comes the Greeks, balanced villagers and gameplay make sthem the next easiest. Her'e the controversial bit. I personally, when I started, which was eons ago, that the Norse were easier to use than the Egyptians. This is due to an abundance of reasons. The Norse juggle bewteen two gathering units, making them slighlty more harder to adapt than the Greeks. However, the Egyptains, due to their immensely slow gather times, creates trouble for new players. They don't know how many to make, where to empower, and how many villagers on each. This is one of the reasons why I believe new players should play as the Egyptains last. Also, the Egyptian Barrack Units NEED A LOT OF MICROMANGING to win ANY battle. You also need to decide whteher you even use Barrack Units, or use the Midgol Units. The God Powers must be EXTREMELY carefully planned to be used effetively. Of course people will disagree, but I do 'coach' about 5 people currently (they're now about 1650 after two and a half weeks)and I ahven't exposed them to the Egyptains yet. Here' my list. It's juts my opinion.
Easiest:
1. Oranos: Obvious
2. Kronos: He's slightly harder than Oranos, due to he benefits, but he's still easy.
3. Zeus
4. Hades
5. Loki
6. Poseidon
7. Thor
8. Odin
9. Isis
10. Gaia
11. Ra
12. Set
You might disagree, but that's NOW. You might find it easy now, but this is the order which I think people should play the Gods when they first begin. My order of preference would be entirely different.

Poseidon is by far the hardest civilization to play other then Odin or gaia.
My list goes like this:
Isis(OP)
Hades(OP)
Oronos(OP, but can be handled)
Ra(OP)
Kronos
Zeus(OP)
LOki
Thor
Set
Odin
Gaia(UP)
Poseidon(UP)

easier to play does not nesseccarilly mean easier to win with. just easier to not screw up on. (getting housed, losing starting villies to elephant, forgetting to age up, etc. )

Why does Gaia keep ending up near the bottom of the list? Its economy upgrades are much cheaper making it alot earsier to beat oponents on economy early on in the game. Or is it simply because Gaia has no military bonuses?

@ black_lynx
Destroyers/Behemoths, Ranged Seige isnt that important
IMO, if you let your opponent get to Heroic and past, you have lost as Atlantean. :/ You should have won in classical war.

I see darth_hidhogg has finally reduced himself to calling others names.(How childish)
Anyway, if a god takes more skill to play, that might mean that with enough skill he might be quite good, but with a god that takes no skill to play(isis/oronos), even at their climax they may still lose to other gods.
For example, a 1900+ Isis will not always win to a 1900+, depends on map, gold control and strategies.
