LISTEN TO ME!!! Really though, that patch is not an official ES patch, it was made by Ancient_tribe. Therefore, if you play someone who doesn't have it (which is likely), then the game will OoS due to data incompatibility almost immediately. Are we clear?
Lightmare, Gastraphetes would be better against a titan, a wonder, or a titan gate due to their range.
Lure on Oasis won't do much, because their isn't that much food in the first place. On a high hunt map, there is plenty of hunting anyways. It is not as consistently useful as it could be, and you lack control over it.
Sentinel and Bolt are controllable, sentinel is great scouting deterrent, and bolt can be game changing (on a titan v. titan battle, etc.), and it is almost always battle changing.
Um, Possy may be able to raid, but so can a bunch of other civs, namely Oranos turma. Not all civs use hoplites, and if you are in a battle, the hippikon won't be running very far, they won't be of any use. If you are raiding and you have to turn around because you meet some counters, are you raiding? No.
If someone turtles correctly, they shouldn't be getting raided.
Militia rush won't get you very far, it might work one out of ten times against an unsuspecting opponent. If I am doing a hop/mino rush, the first wave will be costly, but I will be aiming for a strong food economy and enough wood for Labyrinth of Minos, which means it isn't quite so bad.
I would rather have my buildings alive 25% longer to produce buildings, fire arrows, or support population. That's a no-brainer. No militia can take the place of that.
How are Possy buildings better than Zeus? Are they not equal?
And Yoma, thank you for catching my error.
