Well first of all, just because you are booming doesnt mean you cant field a military. Sometimes ppl get confused, in thinking that booming is to go straight to iron with minimum military made. This is wrong, the purpose of booming is to make TONS of villagers, but dont wait until you have TONS of villagers before attacking. If you work on resource management, you will learn to bronze in like 16 mins give or take on water maps with more vills than him. If you boom properly you should never really have to say to yourself "I wish I had enough food for a villager AND a camel"

you can make 26 regular villagers in stone age and still bronze by 15. I wouldn't suggest this but I think 18 villagers is too little. You should have no problems pulling off 10 minute tools, 14 minute bronzes with 20-22 villager + a few boats. Try going with 24 villagers for a while.
