If Set is chosen and players worships Ptah,Sekmet and Horus respectively with mix cheap barracks units one can beat anything that gets in their way.

Axemen(With axe vengence and scalloped axe)

==>> counters infantry and buldings.

Spearmen(With Greatest of Fifty,Spears on the Horizon and  Leather Frame Shield)

==>Counters cavalry and general all round strong unit with rather fast speed(5.0).

Slinger(With Set's extra hack armor-hitpoints,Ptah's electrum bullets and Sekmet's Sling of sun)

==>Counters archers,counter-infantry(axemen,throwing axemen etc.) and medicore against other infantry.

1 spearman(50 F, 20 G, 2 P), 1 axeman(40 F, 30 G, 2 P) and 1 slinger(60 W, 24 G, 2P)

So with a total cost of 90 F, 60 W, 50 G(200 resources in total) and 6 pop space you get a group that can beat anything.

When compared to famous migdol chariot and camelry combo result is;

Chariot  ==> Counters infantry ,   Camelry  ==> Counters cavalry and archers.

1 Chariot(100 W, 40 G, 3 P) and 1 Camelry(70 F, 50 G, 3 P)

In total you pay 100 W, 90 G, 70 F(260 resources in total) and 6 pop space which you pay extra 40 W, 40 G and 20 F less(60 resources more in total) for a group that can beat anything with more speed expect buldings.

So overall in mythic age its better to go barracks units as Set rather than Migdol units maybe even as Ra as only different slightly weaker slingers.But for heroic age and raiding still migdol still better choice.
