"rm" = "Random Map", which is standard.
people like to start from the dark age, because it adds depth to the game. It is important to decide when you want to go up and each age has its own possibilities. it would just diminish the game if you start right from imperial age. so much can happen in dark age already!
There are some maps, where you can start in more advanced ages, like arena. These are typically maps where not so much happens anyway in dark or feudal age.
edit: if you do 25pop games, then imp games make actually a little bit sense. But as you wont find so many people wanting to play with you with these settings i'd suggest u start dark age 200 pop
in the beginning it might seem like that! But as you start to know the game better, things will get faster and you can actually end a game in feudal or even dark age. An Average time for a professional game is somewhere between 20 and 30 Minutes i would guess.
Games started in the dark age typically last between 30 and 60 ingame minutes (~20-40 real minutes). Many of those already end in feudal or castle age as well
There were tournaments hosted by Nili, which started in Feudal or Castle Age and mainly saw cavalry units. They are usually higly aggressive and end fast. Those settings are nice to watch sometimes, but you won‘t see it too often.
