Opening Strategy

Open with archers. Save resources for Pro Scouting

Military school opening, going for the deer early and putting a tower. Doing the same for his second pack of deer He then kind of went for fast imp.

Didn't fully pro scouts for too long, had some scouts with deer on them in the middle of the map, missed two deers in the outward camps.
Didn't commit to the playstyle, made units but did nothing with them. Pro scouts should have come later, and I should have secured his deer pack.
I think going for a kill on his Miliary building was a good idea, it was forward.
Macroed bad in castle, had large food floats in the game
Not enough archer micro to kill janissaries. I should have swapped to Palace guards after relic phase ended.
Big gold floats but I still had vills on gold.
Didn't plan out food transition properly.
Barbican was way too late.
Forgot eco upgrades!
Lost a bunch of knights to missmicro

Probably attempt to create more pressure in feudal.
He went for Imp and 2nd TC at the same time, this is insane, he had no farms.
I suicided an insane amount of my army the moment he aged up for some reason.
His army was near the new TC, I should have just started to kill his Military schools.
Since his Imp play was without farms and no big gold control, I probably could have just continued the pressure, however, I was also running out of food.
He has a large amount of siege. I should never have tried to fight him straight on in his position, just go around the map killing buildings and vills.
Don't panic from a bad imp
