Haha as far as RM goes the first rule is to never pick the Greek. No archers beyond bowman and no camels puts you in a poor seat against any CA civ. Hoplites are unlikely to do you any good unless you play against someone like Romans who also lack a decent archery range. So normally I'd say turtle a lot, and if you are forced to duke it out in Bronze go for cavalry. If you manage into Iron you have a good siege workshop which you should make use of, but honestly you are still in a bad matchup against most civs.
DM is pretty simple, you have Centys and siege, which is good enough. DM isn't so much about build orders as researching what you must and getting buildings up quickly. If you are in a team game you might be able to skip Academy entirely from the start and go entirely for a siege unit army that might be supported by Elephants or Legs from a powerful ally.
