I agree though, greek needs some help with the water, like 50 wood docks, and 40 wood houses.
Way too much. I think the solution is more subtle than that. The core Greek land econ, when you add up all the VS available, is actually a hair's breadth stronger than both the Norse and Egyptian, when you convert different gathering rates and subtract the cost for all the basic buildings, etc - probably to account for having to pray for favor. The real problem, I think, is that the Greek economy is more difficult to balance, more VS tends to get lost in walking time for most people (not building enough storehouses really hurt - the distribution should be 3-4, maximum 6 vills per storehouse, as the cost for the storehouse is recouped *very* fast in terms of walking/bumping reduction), and, finally, the distribution of the starting resources and early gathering rates (Egypt has higher initial food gathering rates, Norse can completely skip on food early on). If Norse started with less gold, or Egypt only got the pharaoh after one minute, Greeks would dominate water maps. Already, all their classical age god powers are usable on water maps in some capacity - as opposed to one Egyptian (of course, serpents, and then ancestors are somewhat overpowered by themselves) and none of the Norse.
The core problem, I think, is that people often don't repit enough as Greeks.
Greeks do need help, though, I just think that slashing down their dock costs and house costs by that much'd be too much, and possibly leave especially Poseidon too good on land maps.
Better to reduce their land military buildings slightly (i.e. Zeus academies 75w and Hades archeries 75w) and the dock costs slightly, and see where that gets us.
