Dont get popped at 75. You should lay down 2 crax and 1 rax once you up and go turma/murms.
Dont send in 4 turma into an army of 4 hipps/1 chiron/8 toxotes. you didnt kill anything...except your own units
Scout better. Dont send an oracle right to the back of his base. Unless you are cheating, i dont know why you would not use your oracles...
Keep building crax. Take map control up the side where he had his 2 TC's. You should be 115 pop by 11 minutes, and able to take TC's and go from classical to mythic from 15-18 minutes in.
Oranos vs hades you'll basically need a titan, unless you are a lot better than the hades. They are going to be spamming towers and archers, and atty doesnt have ranged siege, so your goal is to get mythic, not heroic. The FH didnt really give you any advantage here.
Also with the amount of docks you were making on the right side I thought you were going to try and wipe him off water... but you didnt, and he was able to kill your docks since you didnt have trimenes to protect them

Well Oranos is strong because he can put early pressure on, has faster turma, and the faster brimenes. This means you can take map control and get a pop advantage by taking one of his TC's. Also you can get mythic faster usually, and build a titan faster.
Hades can counter oranos fairly well though, as long as the hades doesn't get thickheaded and go all toxotes. Your opponent was smart and made hips. Hades also has good defense against raids, and greek siege is great in heroic. Also if he does get mythic at a decent time he can EQ your titan gate.
Oranos is relatively weak late game, so you need to keep pressure on hades and advance quickly.

I posted a game in the recorded game forum if you want to check it out. I'm no expert but in the rec you can see how to keep on making buildings, using towers to secure gold, and to get a titan out. Also notice how I hit and run with turmas.
