I played a Hades player last night, I play Isis, I did a semi FT because I always concentrate on my eco and make sure it keeps flowing in, he rushed me and all it really did was slow his eco down since he was more concerned about the rush. None the less, by the time I hade started researching the secrets of the titans he was just getting into Heroic and he couldnt keep up with me, he had just hit Mythic while my Titan was starting to work on his little forward base.

Hades is perhaps one of the best titan slaying civs. Its hard to really dent their econ at all. So what you have to do is take one of their town centers early on to give you the advantage of population. If they end up building an army to take it down then proceed to fight however you can otherwise boom to mythic like they are. I find that building stables and archery ranges flush against your town center is a great way to frustrate the ancestors/ eclipse combo. Your extra tough buildings ensure they have to fight through at least one other building before they can hit the TC and at that point they cannot take it down. Be sure to get each of your heroes as they become available and maybe throw up some extra towers for defense. Go mythic through haphestus. Earth quake is useless against isis, you are better off getting the pleny vault and collosi. Crush dmg and hack dmg are the two types to which titans are most vulnerable and collosi have huge quantities of both. Then add in the fact that they do 3x to myth units and you have yourself a nice group of titan slayers. Hades heroes +collosi, + the big siege tower things will kill a titan faster than he can hit the resign button. Gastphrates do a nice job too with beast slayer although i am not sure they do crush dmg. I have killed 39 titans and counting.

What is this 'beast slayer' thing? I didn't find it in the relic list. Does it affect only gastraphetes?
