What are good ways to maximize the benefits of a very early GA if you're going to do jag rushes. I had about 2 cities and both of them set on pumping out jags when I entered my GA. I kind of knew it was going to be really wasted, but I figured that since many people did jag rushes, I wanted to know what they did with their GA. I spent about 8 turns building jags because I just had piss poor luck against the comp. Should I have waited longer and build up the empire before trying to do rushes?
 
When I play the Aztecs and get the inevitable early GA, I split my cities into two categories. For ones that would make good settler/worker factories (flood plains, bonus foods, etc) I produce granaries for after the GA. Likewise, cities that are better off shield wise, I build barracks and turn them into Jag factories after the GA.

Depending on your own circumstances and level you're playing, temples can be good choice but I don't usually bother. The reason for that is that when I play the Aztecs, population and borders are important to me. I pack my cities in tight and drop the pop to rush production.
