If you wanna bronze faster try to build 20 villagers instead of 14. This should give u bronze time between 11 minutes and 13 minutes but with some bad spot perhaps 14 minutes. Basicly u shouldnt try to bronze fast when u got a bad spot coz u can bronze in 13 minutes with numbers like 20 peons and 6 fishing boats easilly. The conservative approach is to go with 24 peons and about 10 fishing boats since this will get u a bronze of 14 minutes+ and a good economy. Ppl tend to even use greater numbers of peons and fishing boats but I tend to keep myself away from those since in some case u can become just so slow that u will get raped by any rush. These huge econnomy of 50 peons+boats r so slow that u often can double up on em coz u bronze and alot of time they are not even tool! Anyway those times and peons numbers are average times on conti with non-shang and non-phoe civs according to my experience.

The only way I would want to bronze with 14 villagers is if I was playing coastal AoE and had some SERIOUS shore fishing, and pull of a sub 10 bronze with shang.
