Er ROR was supposed to be all about about combined arms, and in my opinion it is. The best combination of arms is Hittite heavy cats and Minoan/Roman/Greek/Carth heps. I am talking about say 50 of each. You need no lag and a damn careful cat manager, the hep manager has an easy job. The heps sit behind the cats. This is truely awesome and can only be stopped by an equal of Hittite cats. So back it up with few SC of your own, they can even hunt down some troublesome but ultimately irrelevant priests.
Combined Arms / Combined Civs, aint ROR fun
