what i do is max out on shrines asap (make consulate ally with ports, send heavenly kami for best results) get to age 3 in 10-11 minutes make 3 tcs max out on vilis get to imperial before 20 minutes 50 villagers on food put 25 on wood with shrines on gold. then at about 33 minutes switch 10 off wood to food so 60 food 15 on wood at the 36 minute mark switch your shrines to wood, and switch all your villis from food to gold. I usually get 1800 score like that i have about 60-70 k food and after all upgrades and army at the 40 minute mark i have about 10 k gold still rising and about 4 5 k wood.
