... Hopefully the title speaks for itself. Here, let me start:
Favourite: Hades. I am personally a big fan of turtle strategies, which Hades supports, and similarly a big fan of late-game tactits involving lots of powerfull but expensive Myth units, and a combo which I personally grew rather fond of is Colossus + Gastraphetes. Colossus is obviously good against cavalry( ... Not to mention human units in general ) and makes for a amazing meatshield that can dish out large amounts of damage of its own, while the Gastraphetes is good against fliyng myth units and its very long range allows it to hit most units who otherwise could try to hit-and-run the Colossus. This tactic can be used to some effectiveness even against the likes of Chariot Archers( As the Colossus will be soaking up most of the damage, letting the Gastraphetes hit then with impunity, and it would be a bit hard even for such a mobile unit to try to maneuver around the Colossus without taking quite a few hits along the way ), and though I wont pretend there are no counters to it, if you can mass enough of those units to take out a opponent settlement in one sweep, oh boy does it feels fun.
Least favourite: Tough call, as there is honestly no major god which I would personally call "bad", but I think I will give it to Set. I still think that, if anything this god is overral underrated( It has a decently versatile selection of Minor Gods, being able to perform decently well strategies involving both foot soldiers or the more powerfull Migdol Stronghold units ), but overall, it... Actually just hits me as a "jack-of-all trades" god, what I wouldnt mind, except there really isnt anything in particular it excels at. What puts it as the worst, though, is the fact the Animals of Set tend to activelly get on the way: You really only need a couple of Hyenas for scouting at most, but then you get a bunch of animals who you didnt asked for and which you probably would have other units that can use the population space better anyway. In a minor nitpicket, it also has the worst economy out of any Egyptian major god, not only lacking any bonus of its own, but also lacking Bast economical technologies( Toth may make up for it to a extent, but he is a Myth age god, and by this point, well, if your opponent was going to outboom you, he already did. )
