I've trawled the forums to find some info on the best way to cope with this but can't find anything. I would appreciate a few pointers. I usually play Hades.
Quite often I am just waiting for this combo to arrive, bt I'm not sure of the best way to cope with it.
Many thanks

Another good thing to do, especially on more closed maps and if you can get him to use it away from your base, is to put a few walls where your army is traveling a lot, that way when the opponent does use AE, you can just run behind them.

spam walls or have a bit of a classical army find his mig
and attack it
make sure you have both heros out too

building forward is risky
its better to have your army attack him in a forward position where his mig is going
basically the later you delay him using a/e, the better it is for you
if it's late enough, you can just run away with your whole army and let him kill your buildings you've built forward. after your original group of longhouses and fort(s) (if you haven't built walls)
then just go attack his forward base, use fw if needed and you're good to go

it was kind of hard to literate what i wanted to describe lol,without just running on and on
but i had a good example of when i got freeze hacked by youporn_com on aots
he waited a LONG time to use a/e, i had 3 tc's, a couple forts, a TON of hill forts, so he took down 1 fort and like 1 longhouse with a/e, and virtually none of my army...
so ya, it was a successful a/e for me imo :P
just kinda hard to describe

Complaints about a/e are usually complaints about an entire highly refined strategy, not just a gp combo.
A person with a plan and a refined strategy > a person without one.
Isis does a minor boom and fast tech with minimal units for defense and either uses a/e to establish forward gold or destroy your economy if they don't need to, or use it for a very strong heroic push.
What's your Plan? And what's your plan for dealing with how he's going to use a/e?
