Hello. Your army is safe into Acropolis, so a fully upgraded acropolis  is needed so your all newborn units will be sent directly to the Acropolis. After that, you have to have the highest decorations, which means the Leprechauns and the Naias fountain, plus fully upgraded plain towers and Elysian towers. Of course, you need a lot of fully upgraded Mamartines units, both chance and regular agreements fully upgraded, plus a fully upgraded Strategist guardian. You have to have all the genaral's divine armors fully upgraded, full of oils. After that, if you have  at least 50k fully upgraded  memartines out of the acropolis, which means 5 billion defence out of acropolis safe,from political attacks and  a city that will painful to attack.. After this, you can attack anyone you want at Emporia, as it is a no no to attack fully upgraded active cities. You can use your Skythian raiders to attack someone, so you will get back more powerful units, as the deserters are. Be advised, the Leprechauns are available only for 20 days during the St. Patrick's celebration. Last but not least, you have to join a big coalition so you will participate in the events that give big units, such as the Acolytes, Skythian Raiders and Agema Horsemen; plus, in big teams, you will find a very experienced player to be your ingame mentor.  All of those are a must-have and must-do.
