Quechas even work on higher difficulties: I am now playing Monarch and managed to pull a quecha rush on Emperor - average start, AI on hill. The AI's start with archers to begin with, so that adds further value on the archer bonus.

Another thing you might want to do is to try a horse domination: while waiting for your Praets and the long run towards IW, you just might need AH for working cow/pig/sheep and wheel for roads. Chariots do a good job at pre-bronze early rushing, probably worth the time you delayed praetorians. For a more fullproof horse rush experience, go with Mongolia, Persia, Egypt, Carthage (all for UU's, but particularly Mongolia and Egypt since they start with both wheel and a tech leading to AH).

This early rush writeup was useful to me: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=5966344
