Hippeus > Everything.
Norse for example are delegated to defense against a unit that tanks insane amounts of damage in classical and basically has no counter. Trying hirdmen (or a mix of units) will get you crushed, since they lack the movability and get annihilated by any other unit. Raiding cavalry just doesn’t stand a chance against them. You can’t even raid the greek enemy as he has the stronger unit almost as fast as your fastest cav, rather raiding you as no unit can protect against it and walls take longer to build now. Hippeus also are very strong against buildings, since they take very little pierce dmg allowing them to even raid under the TC.
Centaur > Everything.
The centaurs were always pretty strong, even in EE, but you needed good micro. Now they are absolutely busted in fights, especially with the Hippeus being such a tank. They are, no joke, the best mythical unit by a mile right now as they force the opponent to move during a fight, costing him precious fighting time. Case in point mission 16 where 3 centaurs in the enemy army can mean the end of your army very quickly even though the army is mostly comprised of mythic units. Furthermore they can almost completely deny a gold mine with a single unit. They seem to tank way more also, rendering raiding cav. almost useless against them.
My hopes were that units counter much more in Retold but judging from the last few matches or tests in the Editor I can’t say that it would be the case.
I only see Greeks on the ladder also, maybe a few Kronos outliers here and there but something isn’t right here and frankly becomes unfun to play against.
