So.. I had a quick look on the rec. Your enemy suxed :D You could've finished the game much earlier. You knew where his hunt was, and if you strike it hard he is finished. He had 15 pike and you had strel + around 20 cossack. Maybe you didnt want to risk losing many coss ...

Early game: You herded, 1 vill on each food crate, good. Only flaw that many people do when they hunt, they simply have too many vills on a single bison. Avoid that, check the bison's food situation and move vills to the closest other bison. If you don't do it you can have 8-9 vills idle for 5+ sec. Just minimize idle time ;D

About fortress age: You should've shipped 2 falc asap, and hit his hunts. 2 falc with anything as a meatshield wins pikes. And even if he had other units, he would stand no chance.

i agree with sami, you had solid play, towards the end you didn't keep vill production constant and were too "shy" just push out his 100 %pike army wouldn't be able to do anything vs your dudes. the cossacks could raid while your other units attack the pikes
