Yeah, I tried it with Persians (got the idea from this forum), built a rax and had 2 militia+ scout by 5th-6th minute harrasing his woodies. But I was lucky- got a good map, found the other guy straight away and my 2+2 sheep were next to each other-so my resources were found quickly.
Arrived Feudal kinda late, don't remember exact minute, think it was .... 13?..., anyway, something close to that.
You gotta be top player to try this and cannot rely on it imo. Too many variables, not easy to maintain a steady flow of vills unless ''everything'' is working out for you.
Gives the other guy serious astonishment though. You can hear 'em thinking ''wha the f... ?!! ''
LOL!
