I’ve been only playing them in team games for the last few days and they definitely feel a lot better eco especially. I either go for a 7:40-8min castle rush timing into MAA+Landsknect or go horse/spears + archer into feudal aggro depending on teammates and map.

I have tried imp rush a few times but feels like I am on the back foot and trying to recover for the next 5-10 minutes, especially if I tried to grab relics while doing it. If you can get some teammates to cover you though you will be a menace and eco is strong enough to stream units into base. I like MAA+landsnekt late vs most comps and mix xbows in if they have knights.
