I did a 1 vs 1 with a Hades guy (I think) on Tundra earlier, and I managed to get my forwardcamp up in sync with a TC in the middle, and so did he. We had a few chase wars around the TC's with our classical age troops, and advanced to Heroic about the same time.
However, here's the problem:
Since Greek has ranged siege (and I don't) which he spammed at the start of Heroic, he camped near his fortresses and pounded on mine, and if I attacked his siege I naturally got swarmed by arrows and his troops as I closed in.
He blew all my buildings up and I couldn't do jack at the situation I was in.
How should I counter this? Hurry to Mythic, try to avoid forwardcamp war, blow his economy before Heroic, or..?
He was a lil' over 1700 and I'm struggling just below 1600 (no idea why we matched up, it didn't expand search even once), so he was prolly a better player than me either way, but I just wanted to know how I should counter this.
Cheers

Squeoo is mostly correct. There are several situations which you need to at least semi classical fight greek or you are toast. An example being a hop/mino rush.

Anubites for raiding in classical. Again, I don't understand how Isis players have so much trouble. She is easily the best and most powerful god in the game.

Isn't it hard to get all the favour needed for the Anubites rush in time?
Yeah, Isis may be the best god but I'm not a very good player yet, struggling near 1600, so I just wanted some advice.
Thanks.

Microing a group of 3 and sending them back to be healed is 200 food, 20 favor(counting free one) lasting indefinitely if you keep them alive by priest healing.

Isis wont let greek get mythic so bast's economy would be irrelevant because Isis tries to end the game fairly quickly after the heroic advance.

I might also add that 1600- generally do not know what they are talking about.=P Tons of expert pull anubite stuff on all maps. I belive HailToTheC0bra uses spears and anubites and he is 1800+. ROFL.
