@phaetheon: anyone can do this game. it actually is quite simple, all it is in most instances, is prediction.
hmm i'm fighting poseidon on Mediterranean, i'm assuming he will scylla spam.
hmm i'm fighting thor on marsh, i better be prepared for a quick attack.
hmm i'm fighting isis on anatolia, i better tower up that central gold and research crenellations.
basically things such as that.
in most instances, forward build on egyptian, a fast heroic egyptian can be stopped like this, a classical fight egyptian however, can maul you at this with the fast train time of spearmen (especially ptah spearmen).
in most instances, check for flanks and diversions against norse, their army almost always uses 3 hotkeys in order just to group it all (-90), so they can hit multiple spots at once.
in most instances, a greek will forward build you, if zeus, try to counter his infantry, they're building demolishing powers are insane. Also, the ability to use ranged siege in heroic sets them apart by far.
In most instances, atty players need to be raided and hit early, but not attacked so much as toyed with. Their army can beat yours, unless yours comprises of all ulfsarks or zeus hoplites, however, you can distract their army while raiding them and get yourself to heroic quite easily.
a few other points to remember.
Ghost lake - Always hunting along the side walls, its important you find it (if norse go 2 ulfsarks and claim all herding you can )
Anatolia - Its okay to only win one side of water, excellent to win both, but if you focus too much on land or too much on sea, you are short either food, gold, or both.
Oasis - if norse, 2 ulfsarks, herding animals everwhere (hiding by walls in trees).
midgard - the hunting is utter (for lack of a better word) poopie! (okay fine i wanted to sound 2 again) Defend water, do not attack... waste of resources, by far.
highland - much too fast paced to have idle vils, be very very weary of this.
vs. loki rusher - villie rush =] its so evil, and wow they get mad when you do this to them, but its so simple.
