On Deccan or other extra crate map I suggest building a market right from the start to get hunting dogs.
When going for early harass, don't bother sieging unless you get some pikes. Just focus on circling his base with your skirms to force him to stay inside the tc while avoiding getting hit by tc fire.
Vs japan, don't give hus a lot of importance. Focus on ruyter/ falconet which is far harder to counter.
Interesting use of the 4 outposts. I love outposts, but in age 3 perhaps use the fort card and build the outposts with vills?
Haha you did end up going ruyter / falconet

Halbs are also a good unit vs nagis.
gg!
Nice micro and good choices of where to battle! Skirmishers aren't a very good unit against jap, however since jap tends to use a lot of ashis they can be great at support after upgrading CIR. Also very nice how you outboomed even though you played very aggressively
