I conduct a Fast Heroic, but with like 20 or more villies. But instead of going to the Heroic Age, I make more wadjets and some Villigers(If i'm Ra, I research 'Skin of the Rhino'), probably some military units. But, by the time I hit 10:00, I use 'Shifting Sands' on my enemies towncenter. Villigers on the TC; wadjets, Priest and Pharoah on the oncoming attackers.
EDIT: Between the Archaic and Classical, a priest(s) from my temple builds obelisks like crazy near my enemies TC for LOS.
The TC is gone, make my own on that spot. Half the villies on a new temple, half of that half on a barracks, punp out some Axemen/Wadjets/Mercaneries and I have it.
Is this more effective than Fast Heroic/Rushing, or is the risk too high and just stay on your own base without losing any villigers?
