Here you are:
Economy
-------
Atties don't need ressources drop points.
Atties = less villagers
Atties require less microing for VILLAGERS, but it doesn't make the difference, because you have ways to handle more villagers quickly and efficiently with other civs. Greeks are almost equal, I would say.
Mention about Norse: have to produce/manage Ox carts, dwarves and villagers. Makes a hard time for AutoQueue..
Mention about Eggies: have to manage empowermetn of the Pharao to gain a maximum of benefits from it.
Military
--------
Regarding military, Eggies and Norse are easier to manage than Greeks: Greeks have 3 types of barracks, while Norse and Eggies have only one. Atties have 2.
Atties have expensive buildings? No bid deal. You have to defend them, like all the other civs.
You can have the strongest towers and walls, and the palace is pretty strong too.
Really, all the civs have their advantages and inconvenients. I would not say Atties are for noobs, but certainly not for experts either.
You can even reuse God powers. One bad use is less important that one bad use of a one-time god power for another civ!
