Well, i recently have taken an interest in set.
Against what gods should i classical fight, and against what gods should i fh?
i always, in the beggining of the game, do this garbage, where i fool around with priests and animals, owning enemy villagers.

set was nerfed in TT, but still poses quite a threat if you work correctly.
what i like to do (when yoma posts definitely take note of it) is get my initial converted animal party with 6 priests to hassle the enemy during classical, while still getting a very fast heroic, this way the enemy focuses on getting that military up quick, thus suffering their economy, while you get to heroic and put up your cheaper mig.
god path,
ptah
nephytys
thoth
almost all the time. only one that may differ is the thoth, but i love its eles so...
ptah axeman + thoth ele = uber
basically for that though, simply have your initial priest converting, on high hunt at about 2:50 get your temple up and make 2 more priests (all converting), when you hit classical you should have some 10+ animals and 3 priests, make 2 more priests, if you would like, make a few hyenas (or apes but hyenas are better) and hit the enemy.
some don't like attacking villagers, but depending on how you go about it, you can do this right.
have the wadjet and/or priests attack the villagers first, and they start running no matter what, and will not hit your animals unless redirected to, which they will die trying.
animals get a good bit of damage vs. buildings, so take down all towers during this.
when you hit heroic, i go straight for elephants and siege, no CA for me normally, as i start instantly pushing forward, claiming TC's as i secure more land.
gl to you, set is very fun =]

vs most gods you should fh, against norse on high hunt maps it can be good to go classic fight.

hmm, could that chongchong be one in the same that i've watched so very many recs from and learned very much from?
i only ask because i've seen people make clan named with cyclone who are in no way THE XpT_Cyclone, simply a wannabe.

Yoma's set, as well as his Isis, are 1700+, probably better than yours, ferral.
