I've noticed many expert Zeus players start with a full cavarly build with heroes/centaurs at the VERY beggining of classical age warfare.
Poseidon can also do this yet better since he needs less vills on food/gold and more vills on favor to support the centaurs.
Well, what i'm trying to say in a very wierd way, can't Poseidon be just as powerful as Zeus if not better?
I mean, Poseidon can definetly boom faster than Zeus!
Therefore he can start making powerful units more quickly.
Zeus cannot use his myrmidon/Collosus build on possy, cause:
Possy is greek
Possy can just counter with Hypapist/Toxete/Hero build.
Doesn't the economy rule both offence and defense for it can effectively perform both.
Poseidon is economical with market use being cheaper and the lure god power.
The lure god power is a VERY powerful god power.
Possibly better than sentinel.
It not only gives you a nice constant supply of food in emergency food need situations, but it also lures MOST of the dangerous animals in your area to be devoured by ur TC, and therefore makes ur area safer for villager movement.
Poseidon is offensive as a raider with his cheaper cavarly.
I like to call his Hippokins Rippokins because they can RIP an economy apart.
Poseidon is defensive with his free milita which get many useful bonuses such as slightly countering Set's animals and the ability to perform the FASTEST RUSH IN THE GAME:
THE MILITIA RUSH.
Unlike Zeus, Poseidon can get an earthquake godpower, and this godpower will pretty much PREVENT YOUR ENEMY FROM GETTING A TITAN(If he's not Isis/Oronos/Gaia
)
And your ceasefire godpower will HELP HEAVILY in not only helping you make that titan, but also chopping a minute off a wonder victory.
And now, compare Zeus/Poseidon/Hades, and don't just consider Zeus the best because of his OP Bolt God power, but compare improvements/God paths and deception builds.
