Most zeus players tend to replace their hops to myrms in mythic, but why? Do myrms have a multiplier vs cavalry?

They have good base stats, and have a multiplier(1.5x) vs every non-greek unit (except axemen and throwing axemen).

Myms get a bonus against non-greek Cav through the 1.5X civ bonus. If you're playing Vs greek, I'd reccomend you keep making Hops, unless you fear MU's. In that case i'd get Beast Slayer and make a few to help out Bella.

Myrmidons in groups also deal decent damage to archers (except maybe tox), which is another reason why they are hard to counter. They also deal more damage to buildings per second than any Greek siege.

You could spare yourself unclearnesses like this one and generally greatly improve your game knowledge if you simply read the unit tables, Arus. Recommendable are both Xentelian's Excel sheets and the tables on the AoMH home page, although on the latter you should make sure to read the TT expansion version of the tables.

Looking it up in the AoMH table is definitely done faster than writing a forum thread. And it does not waste our time. I mean, strategical questions are always welcome, but asking for table data when the table is on the AoMH site is silly.

I wasnt really asking for table data, I only wanted to know why zeus players replace their hops by myrms.

And I didnt know that myrms have a multiplier vs every unit of an other civ.

Useless suggestion, as the parallel that ironclaw explained was certainly intended. He came here to troll, so that is what he will do.

My guess is i r n00b. He is smart enough to properly disguise his IP so that the smurfs cannot be tracked back easily, invent this user name, and avoid his own writing style well enough not to be identified by the way he writes.

No other troll like that would have my name deathandpain spelled out. Him doing so was an attempt not to spell it DaP, which would be obvious i r n00b style.

come on, think outside the box a little.

My guess is i r n00b.
If it rlyl was me you would not even guess 11

Obviouslyl making things too intricate would have the evidence pointed towards me as onyl I have mass brainpower here.

On ein sidenote, if it rlyl was me (it isn't btw11) you are just playing mein game.

What I wonder, however, is how you reached those somewhat vivid conclusions, DaP?

Perhaps it is you that is trolling for ein change, which would explain your explanation of 'deathandpain' spelled out. Surelyl you would not be able to reach such ein conclusion without inventing it yourself?

I like grilled cheese especially when you go Thoth and get the mythological tech known as 'Valley of the Cheese': Allows your cheese to melt faster thus reducing the time is takes to train them.

Also 'Book of Dairy Products' is good, lets your villagers gather milk and other dairy products 10% faster.

Finally 'Toast of Apedemak': Grants extra hitpoints and improves attack of Toast, making them OP. There is no hard counter to Thoth Toast exept Horus's Beers and Bragi's Biscuits.

most Zeus players replace their hoplites the fact they are alot more flexible units than hoplites and get bonus dmg vs any non greek unit
in greek wars hoplites are better in most cases but packing myrmidons is always good the fact that they have high armor and are great building killers and can combat close ranged MU well with beast slayer
against norse they especially replace them because they can be spammed and most norse players will have a hard time countering them, they even beat throwing axemen which is a heavy infantry counter, and Jarls too
Vs Atty they do very well also and they even take down Arcus easily, only units that should counter the Myrmidon as Atty are the Fanatic and Cheiroballista and they barely win
Vs Eggy they are superior to most of their military units besides axemen and CA, vs CA they do decently well but they will still lose, vs Axemen they do get a small bonus dmg vs them but the fact that the axemen's bonus is so much larger vs infantry they will win
