... Bantu aren't the only boomer's!
This is just an idea, that works well against though/AI. Don't know if it'll do the trick against a well organized human.
It seems that some people tend to overlook the border push/boom qualities of the Mongols. They have a major food bonus regarding teritory (+1 food per 1% teritory). Now I go early for the 2nd and 3th town, building towards my opponent. You don't need to worry too much about farms this way, only wood(metal/knowledge after you hit clasical). Don't forget to develop some economic research to augment the hard needed commerce rate's. Cranck some stables out when developed mil 2, by then I usually can cranck out 4 stables. Yeah baby, a wooping 12 sized army of nomads scorching the earth!
Start hitting his economy, build a temple at your furthest city and a fortress. Build to the sides, encercling the enemy from then on! That way I totally pushed a Bantu (who was booming himself!!) in a corner of the map!
The downside, is that the raid here is slower compared to a standard Nomad Rush, and it's a strategy that perhaps only works on a 1 v 1/ arena
Are their any other nations that tend to do well as boomers, other then Bantu? I can only think of Mayan's and Korean's. Perhaps Egypt, but they need less cities then others, with their +2 farm bonus! Dunno, ideas?
