So I know build orders aren't what will win you a game, but they do make all the difference for the first few minutes of the game. Any Hades players here have any specific build orders?
I've read up on a lot of the guides posted here and watched some rec games; I just want to get an idea of what everyone else here does.

"when you get to 4.30 advance."
The way you wrote it, implies to me that I should begin my advance at 4:30.

i didn't bother reading most of that
but ffs, later temple doesn't matter....
hades is almost entirely un-rushable so a 10 or 20 second later adv. won't hurt it....
btw viper, strick is spelled strict

who said i make large numbers of camels?
and how is that carefree LOL
what, build a couple vills and up a tad bit later, then just use
sentinels and towers to keep the other guy away from your eco lol
how is that losing a game?
it's just like what ra players do, except with a sphinx rather than setninels

Anyway nice posts DaP
Without having a plan on what to do(what vills to send where and when) in archaic is the most basic thing of competetive play.
If you do not understand this you will never be able to play competetive.
Thats what I assume you mean aswell, i totally agree

braza, i don't know who you are
but shut up lol, just...don't walk into a movie halfway and start bothering people when you don't know what happened up til then
nobody gives a f*** about kronos
perhaps if you pulled your giant noggin out of your little tushy, you might notice that the world and it's forums do not
revolve around the titans expansion
there's no kronos on aom
and kronos is pretty much the only god where that would work vs. hades

I played more Zeus/Pos than Hades but I think I had a better Hades rate than 99.9% of the guys on this forum so:
Fast adv bo: hunting dogs, 4.30 classic
5 food (hunting dogs)
2 wood (storehouse)
2 gold (house + storehouse)
.. food
1 wood (when depends on food position)
.. food
temple
click adv around 4.30
arrange eco to somethin like
8 food
7 wood
3 gold
I don't think I ever used this bo a lot as Hades tho, better with Zeus/Pos
average eco/adv bo: hunting dogs, pick axe, ~5.10 classic
5 food (hunting dogs)
4 wood (storehouse)
3 gold (house + storehouse)
6 food (best on different food source, pickaxe asap)
temple
2 wood/gold
4.10 click adv
arrange eco to somethin like
8 food
8 wood
5 gold
hand axe + husbandry during adv
this being the most important bo imo, perfect for 1 stable/2 archery ranges standard playstyle
Also a very fast mythic (sub 10 min Artemis) is possible with this start if u arrange eco different after clickin adv and no hand axe
boomy/slow start: hunting dogs, hand axe, pick axe, 5.30 classic
6 food (hunting dogs)
3 wood (storehouse)
3 gold (house + storehouse)
6 food (hand axe and pick axe asap)
temple
4 wood/gold
husbandry during adv
arrange eco to somethin like
9 food
8 wood
6 gold
(perfect for a fast tc grab in classic, usually best to use some gold vills for tc)
remember it's often not a bad idea to make Ajax in Archaic even if that might delay your adv a bit
