first things first get your economy up, you want to send your first citizan to the river to build a dock, next to gold, next 2 to food. some time your villie is done send him on wood. build 3 fishing ships and have 2 fishing and have one scouting the enemy shore for his dock.
clasical- go for the obvious aquatic choice.
first send your servent to the enemys dock and build 1 more.
cast carvivurium on it. (it should go down fast, now hunt the last ships he managed to pump out)
you want to have about 1000 food, 2000 wood and 1000 gold before going heroic build villies aproperatly.
heroic - we want neriads.
now have a few neriads patroling up and down the enemys sure to stop any docks. if any are built cast carnivoria. and send your servants + 1 or 2 neriads.
by now your enemy may ressign they will realise they have lost the water and you will eventually win as you have the fish. if not continue.
now build a skypasage and a decent army on your side (dont garrison yet you can tell if troups are inside one bassed on the light.) send a villie garded by a flying medic and your spear myth unit to the nearest TC across the river. take it as it should still be free with look. if not build a skypasage first and send army. once done build skypasge if not done yet.
finally get to mythic while defending your base and against expectations take the non aquatic option and cast tataris gate next to the enemy's TC using a few flying medics to get in close. cast chaos on the army it sends to destroy it (he he) and victory should be in site. raid the enemys boarders with cavalry staying away from the gate. within a few mins omnisiance shall be open and the game won.
notes: - this tactic is amazingly fast. you dont have to build a single battle ship! i beat a few people in 14+ mins!
- flying units
- roc's - ekk this tactic may not work, try building a few hero archers and putting them along your coast.
- phonix - this tactic is done well will cripple the enemy befor mythic/ they have a deccent amount
- pegasus if they cant worship apollo for a underworld tunnel these will cause minimum fuss, a few spaced out bases will stop total destruction due to god powers.
- sythen birds (if these are destroying your base build a few archers)
nidahog- its a week as week with a few hero's.
and there you have it! a simple tactic which stops the enemy in their tracks. in all my battles not one enemy (not even a krusher) ever got one man,hero or beast past the nile.
