Because eggy can fh with priest and MU and beat back any rush then once in heroic they build migdol no mine securing it then they can tower spam with OP heroic units and seige and beat the crap out of you.

I think Eggy has the best economy due to extremely low wood load early, and later you can use renewable resources almost exclusively. The only loss is more villagers sacrificed to construction (with longer build times), but this is only a temporary loss. Of course on the sea Eggy have additional obvious advantages.
Even if you elect to run CA's heavily lategame, then your home forests are much less depleted than other races going into heroic age, requiring less wood micro. And you can tap 20% deeper into gold mines and forests using Pharaoh.
However elephant spam is effective enough for non-Ra, and can be easily supported with easily protected farming and caravans (ballista tower and mercs wtf). Isis is of course the best, with monument protection from locusts or tartarian, etc, and Uber bast farming.
Set and Isis have awesome FT options also, with Set capable of Vision+Tornado or Vision+Meteor to win a Titan Race, and Isis entirely protected from Earthquake/Implosion/etc by monuments.

Eggy are great against seige. Mercs can flood out of tc's rendering the stray seige tactic unless. Maercs can also pretty much beat back any assualt on a tc. Eggy reek of OP. there is no denying.
