Well, you're playing Arco. That's your problem right there.  |
Arco is awesome at least in EA and MA anyway. |
They have a lot going for them in EA, but it doesn't all pan out well. There is a reason they were in the first Cripple Fight, despite the easy access to powerful nature globals due to the Oreid, the power of the skeptic, and the communion capabilities of the Mystic. But troop wise, at least in vanilla, they suck. The slinger is near useless, while Cardaces and Peltasts are easy to mass, they aren't very good, Chariots are just too resource heavy to mass easily, though doable (Cash isn't a huge issue, EA Arco should have a lot), and they have near worthless flying units because they are too expensive. Furthermore, Death access isn't, and EA Arco has trouble getting decent astral.
Now, MA Arco has some real staying power, not the least of which is the ease of a mass priestess mass astrologer Mind Hunt spam, and relatively early, which can do some real damage, and counter late game SC strategies if you keep it up to power.
