I agree with u, at 1.27 it's better to have 4 free units than only one. I tested it (this strategy ) with Prometheus, but I think it create more problems than Leto :
With Leto, U can have 3 Um's and 2 villagers before build house.
With Prometheus your héroes take 6 population. Your villager take 3. Your Mu Take three. You have 12 population.
You can't build villager (you don't have enough even if you put your one villager on food during the passage), so you do a second myth units.
But, before make a second villager ( for restart your economy ), u have to build a house. It takes very long time.
So, in fact,enven if at 1.27 your are better with Prometheus, there is a little time ( I think between 2,30 minutes and 4 minutes )during your opponent can "heal" himself because you have got nothing. The rush isnt graduated. You hurt strong at beginning, then u "use" your military, and later and later your ally can help you. But you still have nothing (or 1 Mu with 2 baby Mu )and I can't help him. 2 vs 1 on him, it's finish.
With Leto, it's graduated. 1,2,3 Mu, villager, house. And when (thanks god ) your ally can help you, you have still all yours Automaton, and, its very important, the beginning of a new economy.
I don't know if my strategy is arguable (thanks for this new word ^^ ), but if it is, I think it's with Leto. Try it, it's fun ( but hard ^^ ), and u will see what god is the best for that.
oh, its other thing, but I saw that.
quoted from Mr Martel :"Deathmatch under 8 seconds easy."
