Hi,
I am playing medium on a Mac. I have gone through every map on easy with every Greek god so now I am going map by map using the random Greek god mode.
I am okay against Greeks and Egyptian, but when the AI is Norse, I am a goner.
He produces so many troops that i can't keep up.
Is there a best placement of building?
What do you when there are no animals to hunt?
How soon do you build a dock and fish? Archaic or Classic?
When do you start to attack?

build your base forward and create a hippikon + toxotes army
and don't forget to raid
build several military buildings and group them to maximize training speed
greeks have the best classical army in the game, hit him late classical 10:00 - 11:00 min and you should win - kill his longhouses after his army is dead so he cant make more men.
stick to hunting as long as you can
the medium pc will not raid you early on

I find that the AI raids me in classical -- at about 9-10 minutes into the game. Maybe that's the Mac version, not the PC?
I like your suggestions and will try them out.
Thanks!

I ALWAYS like using farms and just hunting in the first age. A good placement for farms is around your town center right next to it.

Plow is implied. I do not know why Marine didn't get it but to me that seems like a huge waste so I agree with you. I'm an Isis player who much prefers to get Shaft Mine for Prosp so in the few games I've played as Ra it's rather a mental struggle to wait until I can get Irrigation even 11 (but you basically have to skip it if you want to be up in time as you would have to wait until Heroic for that up).
But yes, I have no idea why Plow isn't included in this BO...maybe it's for nilla or something where up time is more important (justa guess) and the extra 15-40 seconds that is allowed in TT would just not cut it in AoM.
