I am also main Saracens with a love and respect for the Britons :D

The shepherd bonus is under-appreciated and often incorrectly utilized. Because they work faster, they have the capacity to bleed the absolute maximum amount of food from 8 sheep (except the mayans) in a record amount of time.

I've found that careful micro with 7 gatherers within the TC perimeter (and only one sheep rotting at a time) can get you to the castle age with only two farms and no deer. I will typically make a market for my fast castle and sell stone to buy food.

Followed with the cheap second TC, this lightning castle age build is almost cruel in a 1v1 where they are usually expecting the standard fast feudal archer aggression typical of Britons.
