Basically it's a FH with Gaia. Gaia doesn't get arcus or contarius until Heroic age and there pretty decent units IMO. So i figured doing a FH might work though its obviously not as good as Isis's or anything. Here's the BO

-Vill to food
-vill builds eco guild then to food
-research hunting dogs emmidiatly.
-vill to wood then seconds later buildgs a house (u need 5 wood to do so its annoying)Once its done with house its back to wood for him.
-next vill to food
So far we have 3 on food 1 on wood a house and an eco guild with hunting dogs.
-Vill to gold.
-vill to gold.
-vill to wood and then a vill from gold builds temple ASAP.Then it will go back to gold when its done.
Now we have 2 on wood and gold and 3 on food. we are ready to advance.
-Send a vill from wood to the closest TC to build on it. You wont have enough resources to build it right away to make that villi do wood until u have enough reasources. You should start building it around 3/4 of the way to classical. I think...
-you advance.
-vill to food
-vill to food
-build an armory fast with the one on wood. Your tc should be close to done by now so send that one to wood when its done.
-armory villi back to wood.
-now u have 5 on food 2 on gold and 2 on wood. Advance to heroic ASAP from this point.
-now with your other TC, start pumping more villies. Also, take a villie from wood or food and make a few barracks.
-Btw, advance through the person who gives you styphian birds and the great cavalry upgrades.
-now you have advanced. keep pumping villies. I get 7 on food 7 on wood and 8 on gold and then stop usually. maybe 1 less on gold and wood depending on how much of each i have. Get eco upgrades ASAP too. Now just pump out arcus and contarius with your 3 rax. Also, early in the game, try to make a wall of trees around your base with Gaias forest so you can protect your towers and making raiding plus rushing more difficult.
-Slowly convert to farming etc. the rest is pretty basic from there. I usually try to grab tc's fast because contarius take up 3 pop. The upgrades for the contarius are really good though so get em fast too. Youll have quite a bit of favor obviously so itll be easy to get em.
If you give a man a match, he will be warm for an hour. If you set a man on fire, he will be warm for the rest of his life.

Thats the strat i came up with. If anyone has any ideas on how to improve or anything just post it. O yeah, the reason that i keep the 5 on food is because contarious upgrades and building them is expensive in food. (70f 50g). Also, if im bored ill upgrade infantry and get katapelts and a few murmillos. Btw, advance to classical through oceanus. You get his healing flying thing which can help you scout and the cladria are good rush preventers. (cept against loki and hesirs but w/e) Also, you can upgrade your towers and stuff. Build another house on each transition of age also and then build the rest in heroic.
