As all who played with mayans know, they generally start off by looming instead of creating villager since they start at 5/5 pop. If you random into mayans, unless you are fast to click loom you always lose a few seconds at the start. I have sometimes managed to click the loom button just before the villager queue appears(since online games have a bit of lag) but often I wasn't able to, mainly since it takes a while to recognise that my civ is mayans.
I've seen a brief chat in a viper vs daut game where viper said he is fast enough to click loom (that game daut had got housed on randoming into mayans, while viper was also a mayans due to the mirroring and he didnt lose seconds). Are there any tips to quickly recognise that you are mayans and click loom consistently before villager queue appears? Do you always get housed and lose seconds too?
