What's the best Byzantine strat after the nerf?

They’ve made it slightly more difficult to get cisterns in early game, but reduced the cost of mercenaries. What’s the best way to go about that early game? Let’s say for early game rush or a more sustained eco heavy build, and everything in between. Let me know your thoughts.

Best way is just to surrender

Best build I’ve tried is where you just put 1 villager on stone at the start and leave him there. I think corvinus made the build so you can see it on his youtube.
