Was the Egyption God of Creation his improvements Benifit Barracks units and Technology This Strat is not Designed for Flashy "Fast Heriocs" or any type of "Gimmick" Strat...im not saying "Fast Heriocs" are "Bad" im just saying for the average player...those types of Strats are too hard to get "Good" with in a reasonable amount of time...thas why im going to share with you the Strat Below which will help the newer players get competitive with Ra in a Decent amount of time( This Strat was Inspired Bye Gx-Iron Former Number 1 on ESO)This Strat is desinged to make for "Strong Military Operations" in the Classical Age. The Below Strat takes Advantage of the Ptah+Sekhemut+Horus God Path, Ptah's Shaduf and Barracks Tech's, Sekhemut's +10 pop and Archer Techs, and Horus Barracks up's...Sekhemut is more important in this strat then Hathor...you need to "Outnumber" your opponent to win with this strat..and Sekhemut's Citadel power gives you a much easier time in Achieving this...Your gonna basically beat your oppponent with Hardcore Barracks unit spam+Siege Cheese+Mercs+Myth units and Priests..Remember Egypt wins bye pure numbers...they have weaker troops gotta just out number your opponent... Land map-You wanna Send your 1st 2 Villes and Preist to nearest Food source(Perferably Hunting) and build granary...Send Pharoah to scout a lap around your base looking for Relics and goldmines, 2nd food source ECT..if heavy hunting map Research hunting dogs...if not...Build 1st Monument later in Archiac or research Husbandry.Before Clicking up to Classical on a Land map you should be around pop 24(pop 26 if you made 1 extra preist to empower)...you shouldn't have any more then 2 on wood in Archiac...as any more then that will slow your advance time too much...but atleast 2 so you can afford pickaxe gold mine upgrade.During the Transition to Classical Age you will want to build your 1st monument when you Click up for Classical you should have roughly around 13-15 on food, 4-5 on gold, and 2 on wood Also besure to build houses around your towers to protect them Classical God Choice PTAH When the Gong hits for Classical Age take 3 villes and Build 3 Barracks, have your TC pump villes on to wood until you have atleast 7-8 on wood then shift back to gold...when you have the wood and favor, research Shaduf...and also Skin of Rhino...as soon as your Barracks are complete Begin pumping Spearmen...and Slingers as you can...Depending on your opponent and what he is making you want your army to consist of 40% Spears and 60% Slings If Against Poseidon more Spears then Slings, Also try to get a good "Mix" Against an Atlantean Player in Classical...Egypt..Ra in Particualr has the Econ and Troops to straight up fight an Atlantean in Classical Age...Rain means he can Flood Spears that will beat Both the Turma and the Cherio...just gotta Flank the Cherio's with a Few Spears and they will Drop Over all you want your Army to look like this in Classical Age Keep pumping Villes and get Line ups, Econ techs and armory techs as you see fit...Lots of Turma's? get pirece armor up's 1st, Lots of infantry..get Hack armor With this Strat..is an "Aggressive" Defense...your gonna prevent your opponent from tkaing your TC's while you secure your TC's for yourself...When you have Shaduf Researched and atleast 12 farms and Husbandry and Plow Cast Rain to boost your food Intake...you should have atleast 2 TC when clicking the Advance to Herioc Age Button Pick Sekhemut...Also just keep Spamming Barracks as you press forward and add all your Barracks to a Control group so you can train from all of them at the Same time bye mythic Age you should be producing from 12-15 Barracks...maybe more...just flood units at your opponent.Also Slings of the Sun is a Must Tech here When you Hit Herioc Age...a Migdol on a Goldmine in the Front lines is important for Cover..as are Towers later in Herioc/Mythic Ages...you can produce a "few" Camels/Chariots for Support...but still mainly Barracks units..Also a Siege Workshop is a Priorty...you also got a Free Scarab...if you have the favor...que up another...if things have gone well...up to this point...you have atleast secured your TC's..and opponent has secured his...unless he is Isis...you have a pop Advantage over him due to Citadel... you gotta press this advantage once in Herioc age..Fortified Tc is top priorty..also the Heavy Spear and Heavy Sling as well as any Armory techs you need...don't forget Slings of the Sun...with that Tech..your Spear+Sling combo just got all that much better against infantry too..now is time for the Big offensive...send about 5 Spears to attack a remote Production site...once part of his army of a few units show up...lauch your offensive on his forward...the 2 Scarabs+a siege tower or 2 and your army and you should with some luck and good micro beable to smash it down...at this point..bring villes up...lay a migdol to fight under...and lay 4-5 more barracks forward and keep puming those units.Also Tower Like No Tommorow...Forcing your opponent to Fight Egypts weaker Army under Tower Fire will really tip the odds in your Favor...also if ya have the gold and need a push so to speak...spam those Merc Cav into the batttlefield to help you get over the hump It's very important in this strat that once your win a battle...you gotta press forward...attack his econ...raze his base...do whatever you can to cripple him...Also you can never make enough Barracks...i can't stress this enough...the more you can pump from...the faster you supply reinforcements...it's improtant when you gain ground that you keep droping barracks so you can get reinforcements to the battlefield much faster. This strat relies on once you get the "Leverage" Pop advantage you gotta press it until your opponent is dead...don't ever let up. Also watch out for those sneaky players that try to sneak siege behind your lines and attack your main base with them wheile he thinsk you are distracted...watch the mini-map..leave a few spears at home if need be... I feel with this strat...it will atleast make ya competitive...and you will get better over time...even with me it;'s a work in progresss...i can never beat an Atlantean plyer in Classical with Ra until today...i totally owned an Oranos player...it's all in the micro i suppose Well good luck and i hope you liked my guide..hope i helped some people wating to learn RA.

Now Before we Begin i know we have heard how Migdol units are all this and all that...well...the only Migdol unit i think really is worth a Darn is the Chariot Archer...the Elephant is only useful for Close Range...the Camel just cost too much gold and too much pop for a Unit that does the Same Job as the Spearmen, the Spearmen costs "Less" which means i can use all the surplus gold to spam Merc Cav which is a "Better Investment" then hosing your gold on all Migdol units...Don't get me wrong a few "Camels" or Chariots for support is fine...but 75-80% of your human Military units should be Barracks units...Ra gets every up but Serpent Spear for Barracks units...Barracks units may not be "pop Effective" But they are "Cost Effective" you can afford to lose alot more Spearmen that only cost 20 gold, then you can Camels that cost 70 gold....catch my drift?...you gonna be very "Aggressive" with this strat...you not gonna sit back and just be raided and turtle...you gonna take the raid to him...and secure map control with a Decent sized army...and Head to Herioc age to use a Sige Attack+Mercs to end the game before opponent can reach Titan Age....i have won my last 10 games with this Strat...it does work...it just takes practice...but it's decent enough to get you competitive in a decent amount of time...and it is flexible..with that being said on to the Strat...
Spear+Sling+Atleast 4 Preists+3-4 Wadjets
