depending on what your strategy is, 6:15 isn't a bad time at all! if your planning on FHing, I usually hit classical around 6:15 to 6:30 and then hit Heroic at 8:15 to 8:30. Is this a good time? I duh know, seems to do the job though. I suggest you post your build order. If your not going for the FH, then put more villies on gold so you can make farms in archiac, then when you have about 6-8 farms use Rain, and when you hit 400 go classical...with eggy's it's sometimes better to hit classical later on because then you'll have a stronger econ. once you get there. once you hit classical, either go for the FH. or build barracks and mass Axe or Spearmen.

My build order is, send first 8 villies to food with priest empowering and pharoh scouting, if im hunting i get hunting dogs if gathering nothing b/c it throws my villager production off too much(10 on food now), then 5 to build 2 houses and gold then next 5 to a different place to gather food, when i have 100 gold i build temple and use pharoh to empower gold once he gets back after scouting. The problem is mostly that i can never get food fast enough to keep my TC production, so after i have the 20 villy i stop and wait to get 400 food b/c then i dont advance till 7min and have been rushed by the loki

I think if can reach classic before 6:15 with pop 25 or more on a land map for Ra is not too bad.
Mostly I have about 12 on food,6 on gold,4 on wood,and 1 keep building house.During upgrade,I like to train one more priest empower wood(later use it healing or kill mu).
Once reached classic,you should be able to train 1 wadjet and lay down 4 barracks immediately.
The upgrade time is a lot depend on the nearest food.If the first hunting/berry/chicken and 2 pile of food are not too far,I can upgrade little bit faster.

I could have had 3:50 classical with ra on savannah 2 days ago if I wanted. (decided to wait till more vils made and go for 4:50 :P). I don't know how the hell I got that much food though lol. (I never play ra either 11)

I took a look at your build order. It doesn't look half bad or anything, the thing I noticed most though is your concentrating too much on food (15 villies) and not enough on gold (5 villies). I take it your not going for the Ra FH. So your best bet is to balance out the two and put a few villies on wood. I personally do the FH, so i hit classical aruond 6 and hit heroic just shortly after 8 and I don't produce any villies during heroic. You should have the number of villies as fallows 8-on-food 1-on-wood 8-on-gold and 1-on-building. your second villager that comes out should always be your builder. The reason why you put so many on gold and empower with the pharoah is because you want to make farms when your done with the chickens/goats. use Rain right before you hit 400 food and then go to classical. once your in classical you should have a surplus of food so you can momentarilly take some villies off food and build at least 4 barracks and just pump out Axemen or Spearmen. That should hold off the Loki Rush and will also make you have a better econ.
