I remember reading an early strategy guide where a rather unique and kind of silly tactic was mentioned, nicknamed the "Shang Tide". It involved taking advantage of the Shang's cheaper villagers, and building up a huge economy, but then also researching two crucial technologies--I think one of them was Jihad--and then swarming the enemy with Shang villagers. Is it still a viable tactic today?
