i feel oranus to be the best because of his sky passages which could be used both for attack and defence...while kronos timeshift is for only attack and gaia's buildings regeneration is for defence...

No one uses Sky Passages. Oranos is the best Atty cuz of Shockwave+god bonuses.
Building regeneration could aswell be removed, it's by far the worst god ''bonus'' IMO

Deconstruction sucks on water so much.

Yes, that was sarcasm, and the point is certainly valid. Oranos is not way stronger than Kronos. Kronos is certainly more versatile and I like him a lot, however easy he may be. My Oranos is probably better, but a decent krush can get you 17+ easily. Still, shockwave pwns.

I love how kronos can get towers and palaces in the middle of a battle without wasting a villager's time.
Kronos siege bonus sucks though.

Time-shifting (t/s) towers/fortresses is almost a complete waste of resources. You might as well build another whole tower/fortress for how much it costs.
However:
@PC: Kronos will beat Oranos 1v1 at equal skill level if the Kronos krushes and the Oranos doesn't 4:10 (albeit this equal skill level might have to be a bit lower than 19+). That might be the only flaw in this strategy but I know that sub ~175 I can almost always krush in Atty wars and come out with a victory. Provided, if my krush fails I can always t/s back and boom/continue aggression from a safer area/go Titan. Still, I am more comfortable with Oranos and would pick him in the same situation if I was playing verse myself 11.

kronos deconstruction and time shift are useful only in an attack...while gaia's building regeneration is useful for defence....but oranus sky passage is useful for both attacking and also defending your base and ur allies....

Pfft, coming from Mr. Vanilla...
This is at least viable but there is such a large degree of siege spam lategame that it doesn't matter that much. Still, it's a decent option.

I like kronos because of his rush (krush) with the timeshifting, but oranos is pwnzor at raiding cuz of his turmas

I personally have a harder time vs Kronos because his attack comes a bit earlier than oranos'. Oranos can do hekate FT though.

I once saw a rec not too long ago of Ourk fh'ing on Watering Hole (can't remember vs what civ) but he went through Hyperion and spammed Satyrs and he just owned. That just completely contradicts what I've always believed so I'm not sure how that worked. I could post the game if anybody wanted to see it.
