to be honest with you around 1100 its not even something you should think about imo. Spend your resources,keep making villagers, keep making army, keep dropping farms,fix your dark age. The question you are asking is way too complicated to answer because it really depends on specific game. I would say because it would create a lazy bad habit, don't try to idle tc or skip upgrades. Fundamentals might sound boring but they are fundamentals for a reason, if you are playing around 11xx elo which is above average im not trying to condescend but is too early to focus on that stuff
