GG. The map is Marsh and I am Loki. The first fight starts between me and red Isis. I am kinda POed that an Egyptian came close to me instead of the other guys. Well, I spam TA and some hersirs. I manage to rape his small army but I beared in mind the fact he is a better player than me (his score was a bit over mine though he was Isis). He goes priest/axemen/slingers but I manage to keep distances and I build a TC in the gap between us :D . I still own the fights for quite a moment till we are both in Mythic. A little doubling from teal didn't work but to destroy my TC which I rebuilt instantly. The problem starts when he gets totally chariots then I have to make hills and start pumping husks. Though I manage to get around 25, his pharaoh rapes my army while I am preoccupied with killing chariots. The tides turn on me and I have 4 dozens chariots coming through my TC. I resign knowing my fate but still, I was very proud of the nice game :)
Plz tell me any ways I can improve my gaming since I do some flaws. Remember: red was quite good I think he was a 17++ in a new account. You tell me XD
sorry not to have noted that his pharaoh was son of osiris
god of myths

You had this game easy dude. Here's the list of things u need to work on:
1. Your archaic BO(Build Order) should never consist of just gatherers. You could have rushed the eggy and prob won in the first 10 min. of the game with a better BO.
2.The only reason he was able to turn it on u so many times is because u were so predictable (TA's, Hersirs, rpt., rpt.)
3. When u hit Heroic u didn't build a Hillfort for like 10 mins after that. And when u did build a Hillfort u just pumped out Huskarls. HF's are essential to beating an eggy in a late game.
4. At one point in the game u had him beat easily but u just didn't micro your units and u didn't adapt to take down his base (This was the point late in the game where u had no Hillforts).
5. And finally, you never built jarls or seige which would have ended the game about 20 mins in if u would have had Hillforts at that time.
Loki vs. Eggy is never an easy game but if u play it right Loki>Eggy easily. It's all about the right units. Jarls/Cav are essential to winning against almost any civ. When u have the army advantage (you've killed most of there army) mix seige in to take down the base and it's prob GG.
I can post some games of me vs. Eggy's with Loki if u like. Just let me know.
