Age 19

==Age details==
ASF coined the term "cow" (short for cash cow) in age 19 after developing a strategy to use large provinces to abuse the tb system. (Cow was used since "bank" is a building) 
ASF was the #1 prov that age and my kd had all of the top 3 world provinces (twin cows and one large killer.) The strat benefited from an old tb loophole that allowed provinces to send aid to those under 1/4 of their nw tb free. After my kingdom continued to use improved versions of this strat successfully in subsequent ages (including along with other allies like Pansies), I and others felt that cows were overpowered and I helped petition Mehul to nerf them by removing the tb loophole (which he eventually did). Cows had proved to be so dominant however, that kingdoms continued to use them with great success even without the tb loophole.http://forums.utopia-game.com/showthread.php?620415-An-interview-with-AquaSeaFoam/page3 on 06/04/24
Absalom, did initiate the modern use (that became common) of a large exploring cow for the benefit of top kingdoms. Since that time, early age top kingdom positioning has often relied on the use of cows, cow killers, etc in an attempt to establish cow control. A large part of the reason for the widespread early age cf's was to try and help a group establish cow control.
Absalom kingdoms have often been been accused of being afraid to fight even wars due to hiding behind the strength of cows. It's quite likely cows would have been the logical evolution of the game in due time anyway, but I did set the ball rolling on it by devising the strategy, the implementation method, successfully demonstrating it to good kingdom effect, and then selling the benefits to allies who in turn implemented it, followed by competition later implementing it.
