"Out of the box flew all of the horrors which plague the world today - pain, sickness, envy, greed. Upon hearing Pandora's screams Epimetheus rushed home and fastened the lid shut, but all of the evils had already escaped.

Later that night they heard a voice coming from the box saying...

'Let me out. I am Hope.' "

Pandora's Box, Greek Mythology
 
BUILD ORDER FOR RA
By: sarsharek1 (AoM.HeavenGames.com)
  1. 6 villigers on food
  2. 1 builder builds a house.
  3. 7 villigers on gold, house builder builds monument next then goes to gold for 8 total.
  4. 3 villigers on wood IF you want to be using chariots right off.
  5. Put 4 more on farms, other 6 getting food build farms when it runs out / you have gold.
  6. 1 builder to build houses around the tower nearest you'r gold mine. and of course the temple.
  7. Cast rain with pharoah empowering town center, of course time it so you'll have enough food to hit classical with the temple built and your vils working, as little idle TC time as possible, takes some practice.
  8. Go classical, when their go heroic after power building the armory. (ie, many vils builfing it while empowered, make like 1 or 2 vils in the time it takes to build it, put em wherever you come up short)
  9. Power build a migdol and pump units.

I generally get crenelations in classical, helps alot when attacked, wich is why i make it a point to put 3 vils on wood, but you don't have to.

My first 10 units stay garrisoned in the migdol then rush out and annihilate his classical rush. i use camels and chariots mostly, some people use elephants.

I find it helpful to make buildings around the tower nearest to the goldmine, then with crenelations they lose alot of units, also pop some buildings around the gold mine since thats what they raid.

  1. 1st 2 villies and priests build grainary on chickens.
  2. Next 5 villies to chickens. (priest empowers)
  3. Next villie on wood until he collects 20 and then on gold mine.
  4. Rest of villies to gold mine. Get gold upgrade when you have enough spare food to keep constant villie flow along with the upgrade.
  5. Pharoah has been circling the base 1 time and then returns to empower the gold mine. (Be sure to keep checking if relic is available, and scoop it up while he is out there)
  6. Build a temple and then build farms when you get enough gold.
  7. When you get to about 6-7 farmers, peel your pharoah off gold and empower your TC and cast rain spell.
  8. Click up when you get to 400 food.
  9. Pop out another priest to empower your gold mine, as your pharoah is empowering your farms.
  10. Build a monument (actually build 2 while ur at it, they are cheap for Ra)
  11. At this point you can do whatever strikes your fancy. If you want to build slingers and spearmen, take your chicken farmers and have them chop wood. If you want to just build spearmen/axemen at first, or if you want to try for a fast heroic, have your chicken farmers hunt (If you want to just go with spearmen/axemen at first you can have the hunters build the barrax where they are hunting and then resume their hunting)
  12. Oh yea, dont forget to get the Rhino tech as soon as you reach second age and have 5 favor.
  13. Don't forget the herding upgrade when you can afford it. (Even if you are not using herd animals) It is better then the wheelbarrow tech from AOC as it doubles carrying capacity and has a big boost to farming (it is cheap and it doesn't consume TC time to research, also)
