What if one could age up as quickly as possible (of course) and send the 7 steppe riders and attack his cherry orchard(s). (on some maps you get two).
I haven't tried it yet, but in theory it should work I think. One would prolly lose a few steppe riders to TC fire, but it would weaken his eco a bit. Of course there's also the berries, but depending on how fast he is, he would lose a good say 3000 food perhaps??
Just a thought.
