4-1 for Optimus

[Garja]

That sweden church build could defintely be optimized. Considering that you got great age1 treasures, even with tower age up the halbs could have popped at 6mins on top of the jans and it would have been a completely different game.
Also you really want every single vill on wood in transition to 3 to get the jaegers asap (torps still trickle some food/coin for vills and in case minutemen). Actually sending 700w in transition, even if late, it's still a good idea since you would be sending that card anyway after 1k wood (need tons of wood to go 200/200 pop, 2nd military building, etc.)

[Paullo]

The 700w timing can shift depending on when you add the second military building. Delaying it slightly can smooth food/coin for steady unit production. For the church build, watch torp placement and hunts to avoid slowing Jaeger timing, and consider 4 vills earlier in Age 2 if aiming for a longer push.
