Under what condition would you be able to beat Hera?

As the title says: Under what condition(s) would you be able to beat Hera (or any other pro, for that matter) in a 1v1?

The condition can be anything possible, even cheats if you find it necessary. There can also be several conditions, if you like.

Some examples: Start with X amount of resources, opponent having to be idle for X amount of minutes before being able to play, get a Cobra car upon advancing to the Castle age, and so on.

My choice: A custom civilization with every civilization bonus. With a ridicilous amount of economical bonuses, I'd get to Feudal in no time, which instantly gives me access to dirt cheap (thanks to four different bonuses applying to cheaper militia-line units) Long Swordsmen with 72 HP, 11 Attack, 3 melee armor and 4 pierce armor, as well as faster movement speed, faster attack rate and longer line of sight.

I believe the only way to deal with such a unit in Feudal age, is to stone wall it out. In that case, I'd quickly go to Castle age and get access to Champions and Capped Ram.

I am 1100-1150 elo, by the way.

What would be your condition and strategy?
