As a Greek player I put more emphasis on food and gold in order to produce military units early in classical. Before classical I usually have 8 food, 5 gold, 7 wood and 1 favour. The heavy wood distribution is in preparation for building lots of military buildings and facilitating the transition to farming. By heroic I have 15 food, 15 gold, 10 wood and 3 favour. By mythic- if it goes that far, at least 22 food, 22 gold (plus trade units)10 wood and three favour. I try for the target of 60 - 75 vills by game's end. You must be flexible and adapt to the map- water maps may require more wood for naval armadas. I don't know if this is an affective strategy but it has held me in good stead.

Whenever I play greeks I say f@#$ing greeks about ever 3-4 minutes because I am always running low on wood.
