Greek Help

[GrizzGolf]

What God/Build Order should I be doing with the Greek? I really like the greeks but I cant seem to build an army that can really do much.

I liked the Egyptians but I was told their units are extremely week

I will assume you're talking about a 1v1 (ranked) multiplayer context in my answer.

All civilisations are currently rather balanced. According to statistics (https://aomstats.io/) some gods fare better than others, but if you want to play egyptians, there's nothing wrong with them. The most recent patch has also buffed them quite a bit.

If you want to go back to your original idea of playing egyptians, this is a Ra build order from a top 20 player that is perfectly reasonable even for non-top 20 players : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tel7zmeUroI

If you want to play greeks, Hades is the most played greek god right now, but they're all around 50% winrate with a solid amount of games played according to the stats. Poseidon technically has the highest winrate, but it's not by a lot. Poseidon is relatively easy to get into and favors an aggressive playstyle with his bonus to cavalry, which allows you to raid early and dictate the pace of the early game. I would advise starting with him, but it's up to your tastes and preferences. Here's an all-purpose greek build order guide from a top 5 player : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn1TX-7-ogo

Edit : if you want to try something else, this is a build for atlanteans that I like to use : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIc4OWcjP0c . It's not that difficult to pull off, it's very rewarding, and as a returning, semi-new player it taught me a lot about what to do/not to do when you decide to be the first to attack.

Edit#2 : if you feel your army isn't doing much, as a rule of thumb : just make more (and upgrade it *after* that). Following a specific build order is less important than getting into the habit of having a healthy economy, enough housing, enough military buildings to convert your resources into army, playing aggressively, and to learn the reflex of keeping military production up even during a fight. Personally, making use of the "select all barracks" hotkey helped me a lot in that regard.

As Greek going with Poseidon cavalry and minotaurs is the strongest I think. Make sure you take the minor gods which improve cav.

I like going Hades and getting the Vault of Erebus technology as soon as possible and make upgraded cyclops' with archers and maybe some hoplites or the sword dudes in Age II

For me, playing as Zeus is the most OP when it come to myth units.

- Auto train villagers and keep the flag of where they pop out to temple.

- Focus on gold and favor.

- Go with Athena age two and keep auto train Minotaur (cost gold).

- Barrack auto train Hoplite and upgrade armor, Athena shield and armory.

- Age three, if enemy focus on flying unit, go with Apollo and get archer, if not go with Dionysus for HP buff.

- Build fortress, all of them, go with Hera age four she have free unit from fortress, and myth unit buff.

- Only pop out Minotaur, support by Heroes and Medusa, with free infantry, and you don't have to build any other unit.

Win.
