Just something I have been wondering, as the Byzantines are my favourite civilization in AoK. My first reflects would be to say Hades, as Hades can pull a mean turtle tactic, but... Again, just wanted to know what you may have to say.

Well, in general, I liked the Byzantines on the original AoK for three reasons: A: Their excellent defenses, and B: The fact their Imperial Age tech tree allowed then to basically poke at the holes of your opponent tech tree in the late game fairly easily, and C: The Cataphract was a hell of a potent unique unit, with few things that I would classify as a "hard" counter.
I already know I really like Hades( As I played this game before I played AoK ) and that he is probably my favourite major god. The Greeks in general seem to be intended to be the "Jack of all Trades" of this game. Yet they have no "Cataphract-like" unique unit. THe unit on this game the most like the Cataphract is... Well, probably, you know, the Cataphract. So, maybe I should experience more with the Chinese from now on? Shame that the Chinese Cataphract doesnt resist anti-cavalry damage, though. I imagine it would make it overpowered, but could you imagine if this could counter Camelry and Promodoros the same way that the Cataphract in AoK countered Camel Riders?
