Anubis' improvements are offensive and improve Spearmen and favor generation. First, his Serpent Spear technology grants Spearmen venomous spears, granting them the ability to poison enemies and damage them over time. This makes Spearmen rather more dangerous. Second, Necropolis increases the rate at which monuments generate Favor, allowing for the faster creation of myth units or research of myth technologies in all stages of a game. This is especially useful in tandem with Isis' monuments being able to generate favor faster when empowered. |
|||
Bast's bonuses are economic; two of her technologies increase resource gather rates. Wood is usually not important to the Egyptians until the Heroic Age, when Chariot Archers and siege weapons (such as the Siege Tower and Catapult) appear, but in water maps, the Adze of Wepwawet is extremely important, as Laborers can gather extra wood for Fishing Ships or Kebenit and War Barge rushes. Similarly, Adze of Wepwawet is useful for followers of Nephthys and Osiris, as their Scorpion Man and Mummy myth units, respectively, cost wood. Furthermore, Bast's economic technologies synergize nicely with Thoth's Book of Thoth technology, allowing Laborers to gather resources even better than before. |
|||
As Anubis' myth unit, the Anubite, is relatively cheap already, large numbers can be fielded. His god power, Plague of Serpents, can be used defensively to get the player out of a sticky situation, or offensively in a rush, where they can be added to Anubites and upgraded Spearmen. |
|||
Her myth unit, the Sphinx, is a powerful Classical Age unit, especially when fully upgraded to a Hieracosphinx. These are fast and have excellent crush attack, meaning they can take out units and buildings alike in rushes. They get stronger in later ages and so are worth massing when the player has the resources. |
|||
Followers of both Isis and Set can follow up with Nephthys in the Heroic Age to grant access to the Scorpion Man, a myth unit capable of poisoning adjacent units with a venomous stinger. This supplements the Spearmen's Serpent Spear-improved weaponry. As Anubis already benefits Spearmen, followers of Set who are fielding large numbers of Spearmen may also choose Horus for the Mythic Age, as his improvements make Spearmen all the deadlier and synergize nicely with Anubis' bonuses. |
|||
Bast's god power, Eclipse, can be used to increase her myth unit's attack further and make them move rapidly (7.2 speed), increasing their rushing potential and making them alarmingly dangerous. This god power also allows the player's own Monuments to generate favor more quickly, especially under Isis, as her Monuments generate favor even faster when empowered. Eclipse can be saved for or used again in later ages to boost the attack of stronger myth units granted in later ages, such as Sekhmet's Scarabs, Horus' Avengers, or especially the Titan that the Egyptians otherwise cannot improve in any way. |

{{Quote|A daughter of Ra, Bast was the goddess of the cat, considered a sacred animal in ancient Egypt. She was usually associated with the moon, perhaps because cat eyes can shine in moonlight.

==Trivia== |
|||
* Originally, Bast had access to a technology called "Fertility" which decreased the time it took for Egyptian Villagers to train. Fertility was most likely removed due to being too much of a bonus, making the other Classical Age minor gods irrelevant and making Ra and Isis too powerful. |

* She holds a sistrum in her hand, which originated as a sacred percussion instrument in Ancient Egypt. |
|||
* For her beta Retold portrait, the face was based on an African Wild Cat. |

Second, Necropolis increases the rate at which monuments generate Favor, allowing for the faster creation of myth units or research of myth technologies in all stages of a game.

As Anubis' myth unit, the Anubite, is relatively cheap already, large numbers can be fielded. His god power, Plague of Serpents, can be used defensively to get the player out of a sticky situation, or offensively in a rush, where they can be added to Anubites and upgraded Spearmen.
Followers of both Isis and Set can follow up with Nephthys in the Heroic Age to grant access to the Scorpion Man, a myth unit capable of poisoning adjacent units with a venomous stinger.

As Anubis already benefits Spearmen, followers of Set who are fielding large numbers of Spearmen may also choose Horus for the Mythic Age, as his improvements make Spearmen all the deadlier and synergize nicely with Anubis' bonuses.
Mythology
"Usually depicted with the head of a jackal or as a black dog, Anubis was associated with funerary rites. His mother Nephthys had tricked Osiris, then ruler of Egypt, into giving her a son because she had no children by her evil husband Set. When Set overthrew Osiris, the baby Anubis was hidden in the Nile swamps to preserve him from Set's wrath. There he was found by Isis, who adopted him.
