- TP + Village (macro carefully to be not housed but not idled TC wise)
- Ship Sumptuary Laws
- Ship Good Faith Agreements
- Chop with 12 vills in transition; 4 on food for constant vill production.
- Consulate in Transition. If vs Musket or Aztec civ - Barracks. If vs Dutch/Russia - Castle in transition.
- Que up standard army or castle army.
- Ship 300E (If rushed send 8 chukonus/7 steppes based on civ and collect Gold for MM).
- Ally French get all 1500 res in crates.
- Ship 700W
- Build a second racks, all 5 villages, and a market and techs
- Keep queing vills and Standard Army (Food Gold Army of Steppes and Chukonus)
- Ship Northern Refugees.
This gives you a solid eco and ton of army early and late:
And a solid Vill curve as well.
Frankly with the mass of units I can cover most civs and win this way.
If game goes later: You have a solid start eco - Age with Porcelain - ally German and get trickles - build batches of cav and changdao/arque and ally brits for petards. Plenty of power spike shipments.

I think it's cool that you're making BOs but really you'll find that the image proves that statement wrong.

It really depends on the game but if I'm being pressured early ill just send 8 chukonus, skip consulate for barracks and que up a standard army. If you look at the China vs France game I think thats what I do.
IF I stick to the original BO - it does produce waves of units at 6:30/7 min. If I adapt to pressure I can get units out earlier and still send 300E for 1500 crates at any point. But IT does make Good Faith Agreements a "dead card" for about 5 min of game time as @Aizamk and @Mitoe have pointed out. Its a general weakness of GFA builds.
I will say vz Aztec - you need a different game plan - they are faster now with 70 second skulls and not 90 second skulls so disciple wonder plus early barracks and boxer rebellion is key.
