Seed Farms behind the eco; drop a Blacksmith and research Fletching

This is a Mesoamerican-only opener (Aztecs, Incas, Mayans): they are the civs with Eagle Scouts, and their food bonuses let the boar-and-deer-heavy collection land Feudal near 9:15.
The whole idea is two threats at once — Eagles run down stragglers and raid villagers while your Range adds ranged damage the enemy must also answer, splitting their defense.
Read your opponent before committing the second unit: against a man-at-arms or scout opening, mass your own Archers; against an archer opening, switch the same villagers to Skirmishers so you out-trade them.
Wall early with the Range and Barracks builders — Houses and palisades close the gaps so your raiders stay safe and the enemy cannot counter-raid your exposed gold.
Take Double-Bit Axe but skip Horse Collar here: wood feeds the Range and walls, and your hunt covers food long enough to delay Farm tech.
To transition, seed Farms behind the army, keep gold flowing for Eagles, and add Fletching plus Blacksmith upgrades before deciding whether to keep pressuring or boom into Castle Age.
