Yea I do consider Bogarus as a decent early, decent middle and strong late game nation(just because of the ways that have been found to play them competitively). Patala on the other hand is a nation I'd say with weak early game(elephants don't make up for anything after the initial expansion) weak-to-decent middle game and decent-to-strong late game.

If you have weak early game you still should loose to any (well executed) sacred rush. The point here is to look like a hedgehog to fend off attackers(to make them think that there are easier targets)
