Try the Isis water rush I invented. (for Mediterranean)
1st vill goes to straggler trees
2nd vill and pharaoh goes to build dock (fishing boats on repeat), then house, then food
priest scouts
3rd and 4th vill goes to food, pharoah empowers granery
5th and 6th vill to wood
Keep putting guys on wood and gold.
Eventually build a temple (and rest of houses) and start jumping.
During transition, build two more docks.
Build armory, start jump to 3rd age, shift foodies to gold, empower and cast prosperity.
Have your sphinx run over by his base.
Once you reach the 3rd age, repeat seige ships (can't remember what they are called). Unless your opponent went fast heroic also, your boats will destroy his.
Cast A/E in his base. Now use your boosted liviathan (insanely strong with eclipse) and siege ships to take the sea while your ancestors and sphinx distract him and kill some military buildings (or villies or towers, etc.)
With this huge advantage in food economy, you should be able to mass produce elephants and destroy your opponent. If done perfectly this rush can be accomplished at the 7:30 mark.
You all can thank me later.
