Hi everyone, I'm back.
The last time I posted here was in August of last year. I was never a prticularly active member since my time of joining in 2014 or 2015.
I've been frustrated recently over a particular problem. I nearly always play as Atlantean, by the way, and I'm much better at the game than I was years ago when I joined this forum. I found it so frustrating at the time that just HAD to take a break from it for a year or so. I'm better now, but the problem is that I often STILL find myself with not enough tactics up my sleeve. I usually find myself just going for the the standard 4.30 Classical and then build up a military for raiding or (more often) a Classical fight. I'm actually not particularly good at raiding. Just not aggressive enough. And when I try to be, I get entire raiding parties killed without achieving much if the enemy is staying in his base and has few or no vulnerable villagers.
My typical Classical fight approach works against noobs/relatively noobish players, but when it doesn't go well, I get stuck in the Classical Age while my opponent gets into the Heroic Age, especially if he's Egypt, as Egypt is particularly good at fast heroic.
First of all, I'd like to learn a Fast Heroic strategy as Atlantean, AND as Greek since I'm learning to play Greek and get stuck in the Classical Age as Greece even worse than I do as Atlantis. I figure that doing my own FH would at least work OK as a counter to Egypt's potentially insane Fast Heroic time. And I don't mean vague strategy guidelines, I need something SPECIFIC with actual numbers - a build order.
So, any build orders for a Atlantean and Greek FH? Or any better ideas for counteracting an enemy's FH? I'd love to see them and finally get this frustrating, irritating-a*s tactical hurdle and learning curve out of my way.
