Who should I choose apolo or aphrodite for my minor god selection. They both have really good mytho units and god powers.

Put simply: Aphrodite is better than Apollo, but Apollo suits Hades better. Its an even match. Manticores suck though. Doesnt matter, as Hades you wont make much myth anyway most of the time.

If you have enough GP to make nemeon lions, a lot of them, you must have a lot of prayers. Hades and Posedion gather GP slower. Its a waste of villies. So just get your resources and a couple can pray. (If they raid your only gold mine its over for you)

Don't forget that when following Zeus going with Appolo and later Hera the Manticore gets a +10% attack with sun-ray and +25% with Monstrous rage giving it a base attack of 15x3 pierce (better than 3 Hades FU toxies).

Don't choose a god just because of MUs. Choose one that suits your style of play. When I was Greeks, I went Apollo due to his archer benefits (i'm an archer nut anyway). But if you want to spam units or build a large army that has no trouble replacing itself, go get aphrodite. Don't think the economy is over at heroic age. It needs to be up and running and you've got to keep that running smoothly.

well they are both good gods.. but i usually choose Apollo. His underworld passage is much better than curse in most cases. And to answer the original question i like manticores better.
