Re: Booming (fast imp with decent imperial army in under 28
Goth champ rush (it's arena strat but I guess it can be adjusted for other maps), drop castle on enemy, go 2 tc mini boom, imp, make like 4 barracks and start spamming swordsman while upgradeing to champ and doing conscription. make sure ur eco is protected and u can just keep spamming them. Add trebs if necessary?
I think I got a rec game of it somewhere but can't seem to find it
Re: Booming (fast imp with decent imperial army in under 28
Pls find it! And Id like a rec where someone has Persia in, say, an NR 35 game and can get a good sized elephant army by the 34th minute along with a few hand canons/archers for cover.
I'll be playing on GR alot more than Voobly so I could really do with this (whenever I play on Voob I get a 12xx ally in a 4v4 lol).

check out the Arena 1v1 recorded games by _TheMax_. TheMax is a great boomer and atm my favourite arena player. I uploaded a small arena pack.
have fun
Re: Booming (fast imp with decent imperial army in under 28
I think it is either impossible or really weak to go for elephants that early.
As for strats with other civs, we all know how to go mini boom and EEWs. You can try it if you haven't already. 16-17' FC, 3 TC, boom, start getting gold pretty early, go imp at 27-30' , skip 2nd and/or 1st attack upgrade, take EEW, then take 3rd armor, then in time take all eco and inf ups, drop a castle and take Garland Wars or El Dorado. Best with Aztecs.
You can try an ETarkan rush. Crazy strat, but doable and dangerous against several strategies. ETarkans are strong enough to mess with huskarls. You will need a 3TC boom, but in my tests I need a 4th TC too for stronger assault, also because 2 castles are needed.
With AOFE, if you have Italian ally you can go Condottieros. The advandages are that this unit needs no upgrades, it has relatively low food cost and super fast training time. The disadvandage is that this unit does not compete with most imperial units, so if the rush fails, you will need something else to hold on. Also, it needs a castle and you can only start creating it in Imperial.
The easiest thing is to try an Aztec mini boom - EEWs.
Re: Booming (fast imp with decent imperial army in under 28
**** yeah! Eles!
I basically asked for eles because I want to see good food and gold spamming. Making eles is the ultimate challenge in that regard. Plus would be fun microing them with cover archers.
Btw what about not researching elite ele, making castle age fully upg war eles and researching Mahouts only then going for a larger army rush?

Here you go
Edit: will add I did have to slow down to normal speed at some points in castle age :$ since I expect you're playing fast speed.
24 I won an NR 35 Persia vs Aztec, 1v1. We were both noobs and I shouldnt have tried making an army of Mahouts-war eles. Lol. He had loads of pikes and some skirms and eagles. Good thing I made hand canons and took his trebs out with bombard canons before taking down part of his military base before he resigned.
I should have had more food by the time I went imp but yeah wasnt too good an idea :P
