27+2 Vils Drush Fast Castle

Drush → Fast Castle

A dark-age 3-militia drush to slow the opponent, then a fast castle behind the harass. Distinct fingerprint: early Barracks + a few militia, NO heavy feudal commitment, then a fast Castle.

Recommended civs: Mayans, Aztecs, Ethiopians, Malians, Incas
