While advancing, build the fourth Monument: Monument to Pharaohs.
Do not invest in Monument to Gods this early

| Reduce [food] | 2 on [wood] | Shift heavily to [gold] | ~45 before Classical |
Rebalance hard toward gold while advancing and leave 2 Laborers on wood.
Gold is needed to spend the favor on Sphinx; wood supports the Sphinx upgrades. Boit is at roughly 45 favor before Classical.

Begin mass-producing Sphinx immediately.
Do not delay the first Sphinx mass just to finish every Sphinx upgrade. Get Criosphinx and Hieracosphinx as the wood economy allows.

Use Eclipse with the first meaningful Sphinx engagement.
Convert the favor engine into immediate combat power rather than banking favor.

Add [barracks] and human counters if the opponent commits to heroes.
Boit's example uses [axeman] against hero infantry; against dangerous early cavalry/hero pressure, add [spearman] sooner and consider delaying Sphinx.

| Follow-up | ||||||
|
Look toward Heroic once the Sphinx mass is established; add Crimson Linen when practical.
Boit values Heroic because the existing Sphinx mass scales strongly, and Crimson Linen adds lifesteal to their area damage.
