Prep is part of the play. I don't get how it can really get that screwed up over 96 hours especially without much action throughout the age unless it's a race/personality issue. Free draft helps in these preps but it should be offset by the significantly cheaper elite and slightly better science.
It looks like BB significantly underestimated pf+bg+emerald+orc combat losses or they would have never let themselves get hit army home. Then that snowballed since emeriti already had the military advantage. Attacking fast looks great on paper, but 10% hospitals means you'll also be losing troops far more frequently.
The whole ambush thing is overrated if all attacks are triple/quad taps. No one can commit enough generals to ambushing and spreading their armies out.
