E9 dom9or10 AWAKE cyclops is a lot of fun, since you can really kick off your early expansion with another province taker right off the bat.

Optimal is harder to get at though, as alot depends on individual play styles, as well as luck of the draw on a map.

For a smaller tighter map awake SC will allow you to more easilly rush someone. On a larger/looser map you may be happier with better scales and some extra paths from your pretender.
