Notes
This build order is not effective against the following civilizations:
1. English - the base is too well defended, they will not keep villagers on gold
2. Abbasid, Ayyubid - military wing counters horsemen
3. Rus - uses no gold, has a tight base.
4. HRE - Emergency Repairs won't give bounty

BUT

1. English - they might send longbowmen and you can intercept them
2. Two archers or mangudai can kill the spearmen easily, forcing him to produce more military
3. Goes for stone, Horsemen can harass the miners
4. Attacking the mining camp will force him off gold.
