here is a strat i learned from yushima the guy in sow i had a recording and i watched him play ok here it is:

6 wood 2 stone and 1 tin and one barrack next one out goes to food next one cc next to alot of wood then spam alot of barracks i had about 27 barracks and 7 work shops in about 10 minutes in single player after you spam rax buil at least 7 work shops then build onother cc no watcxh your citizens they mabe building if you dont watch them keep building raxs ans wwork shops and cc's and you should be owning after you build rax send at least 9 cits to go to 3 univercitys and build one temple and go for the military crown after you get the military crown you should be at max total pop at 2v2 or 3v3 when you are send you guys in using the military crown and bam total pwnage idk if its better then gunns or drtrans but it has a better start because yushima had 100 military score after only 10 minutes and we had 50 somtin so use this and you can rush

WARNING: game experiance may change during online play due to lag and the fact that i never tested it online just learned it today but i owned a hardest comp with it
