I hate ancient warfare, too unpredictable. I wait till the end of the middle ages. In ancient age i'm just pumping settlers.

I will only go to war in the Ancient Age if I find myself in a dominant position over my rival, or if I am pressed into battle by an overagressive civ.
Well, my friends and I are playing cooperatively against computers in locked alliances on Monarch level on a small map. That means that as soon as we have contact, we are instantly at war with 6 Civs and they are all friendly toward each other. In other words: we have 6 civs coming hard at us while we only have 1-2 cities.
It is a constant war game, always at war, no break. So from the get go I am cranking barracks and units. I generally dont even have time for a temple until later on. I try to get a granary or two, but sometimes time does not allow for that.
Basically it is [barracks, troops, settler, troops] for each city that I build until I get about 7 cities. If I have made it to that point, then I can worry about infrastructure. =)

yeah blitzing superior civs with inferior army management can yield some game saving gains. but it can also cause you to pull your hair out by the roots. ever lose 5 immortals to one lone gosh dang freak'n spearing man? and then have your spear man fall to a half naked loin clothed warrior??? omg, someone get me a sedatitive...
