sirajh, play greek at the 1700+ level before you make urself look like an idiot.

Here is my evidence.
1. Norse should be better in classical cause greek own in any other age better.
--so, effectively what you are saying is that norse should own in 1v1 games and greek should own in team games. ok, great. guess i'm only playing team rated from now on.
2. Norse do not have a better economy, they need ox carts which cost money and pop and waste TC effiency. Dwarves you say? Of course their helpful, but they cost 70 gold, thats more than most military units...
--i'd say economy-wise norse and greek are pretty close. the most noticeable difference is on water and, in general, greek wood costs. i don't have that big of concerns with the econ differences.
3. Hippokins are stronger than Rc, Hippokins do 10 damage and Raiding Cavalry do 8. Hippokins win 1v1. And no hippokins aren't more expensive, you can't compare that. Cause the food and gold costs are uneven.
--run this in som: 2 medium hippikons vs. 3 regular rc. you will see that effectively they fight to a draw. so, what you are saying is that equal pop/cost of MEDIUM hippikons should NOT beat REGULAR rc. so HOW IN THE BLUE HELL are hippikons stronger than rc???
4. Me and buddy did a test, I Rc Whored him and I lost, He built hip/tox and it kicked my butt.
--i agree with everyone else that your buddy was a better player. i can only beat a rc ***** if i am a better player than him.
5. Greeks can scout the map way faster than norse.
--big deal. that does nothing for combat, or the central issue that everyone keeps avoiding!!! medium hippikons die to regular rc!
6. When will you whiners ever stop? First its loki rushing, then Jarls, then Ta, then hoplites, now its RC. When will you rest.
--well, sure i could just go play thor/isis/set and i could easily just shut up. but, some of us actually care about overall game balance and having 9 viable civilizations like the game is supposed to have. hell, why don't we all just play set and this will be a GREAT game!!! woohoo!!! :S
7. Theirs no need to make a new overpowered civ, just play set.
--ok, sign me up, we'll all be set-****** together and ruin this game to the point where we all stop playing. great, i'm all for it!
8. Centuars own norse
--how's that? centaurs are decent but rc can catch and kill them. ok, so u have a meatshield of hippikons? great, but u're still going to get owned. u have to be a better player than ur opponent by at least 50 pts to beat them.
8. Norse have no long range, and our ineffiecient at kicking fast MU.
--i confess to not knowing what you are trying to say here.
9. Norse have their long range seige in mythic...
--ballistas are actually counter-infantry units.
Please add on to this list, and try to disagree with these points, but I admit you will find it very hard.
--actually, it's damn easy. try and refute this (as know one has of yet): 2 medium hippikons die to 3 regular rc. explain how this is fair. explain how this works? this is WITHOUT thundering hooves. and thundering hooves > spirited charge. so, sirajh, until u play greek just shut up.
