Zeus poseidon and
The myth unit suffers from a chicken-and-egg situation. What else does Athena have? A god power and a myth unit. I would hope that "Infantry defense" really does become infantry defense and that the techs benefit both hoplites and hypaspists and either give more bonus or cost less.
#Zeus poseidon and upgrade#
300w 25fav for 10% pierce upgrade on just hoplites (half an army at best) is just not worth the investment unless you're in mythic and have everything else and by this time athena's time to contribute is long past. Why does this happen? Well, the athena myth techs only benefit one unit and are very costly. The decision, in most cases, is automatic. I would argue that since these two minor gods are not very good compared to their alternatives this puts Zeus/Hades at a disadvantage.Ĭonsider how many times a Zeus player picks Hermes over Athena or a Hades player picks Ares over Athena. Not to say that these aren't true, but I was thinking last night, ok what does Poseidon have that Hades/Zeus doesn't?Īnd that's when I looked again at the minor god distribution.Īnd noted that Hades/Zeus has Athena and Apollo whereas Poseidon does not.

Other things such as the fact that Zeus isn't really an infantry civilization Hades problems on water etc have also been mentioned. Many explanations have been put forward such as cavalry dominance in aom and Poseidon has the best cavalry cheaper stables/cavalry slightly better on water maps easier to play, etc, etc. This is also reflected in the winning % on.

Well as many Greek players are aware Poseidon tends to be a bit better than Hades/Zeus.
