Perhaps he meant booming to get tons of gastraphetes...

I tink that toxotes have beter aim, and also take less pop slots, and pedrobolos are beter against buldings.
The only advantage i can think that gastrapetes have over tox+pedrobolos is the speed IMO.

i personally wouldn't use them in masses. they can make the difference in lategame, but without the soldiers you get acces to in the previous ages you can't win anymore at a certain level. the gastra's are very inaccurate. they do good vs siege, ships and buildings, but if they ahve to hit a small unit, they have a big problem with that.
so i would just have a few of them and the rest would be hops, toxotes (yes, way better vs units, because they hit them twice as often) etcetera.
