France is a good civ against China honestly. Even on Manchuria, I don't think that the MU is China favoured, so one or two small mistakes can decide a game.

Id disagree but whatever

Good evening,

I am a player who picked up the game once more not too long ago. I was actually fairly quite young when I first tried to play online.
Here is a dutch mirror game that i did for practice on RE.

I suppose that I am proud of my performance, considering I had only 2 dutch games prior. Yet after watching my replay I am aware of some mistakes.

1) I give up villigers too easily
2) I seem to have villiger ressource distribution in order to age to age 3
3) I feel that that win was only due to luck (stradiots won me the game)
4) I perhaps need to refine my build order (market too early?)

I hope you find this mirror replay worthy of commentary!

Two games me playing dutch.

One of the files seems like to having a hard time what to indentify. Was a drawn out game vs sioux with base trade.

An epic drawn out game over 40 minutes. I struggled a lot to deal with the dop cannon composition so advice on how to deal better with that would be appreciated. I hope it's entertaining.

Something that might be interesting, my tournament match vs knush.
would be nice hearing about the small decisions that makes a pr45 stomp a pr30.

some toughts:
my gameplan/bo was copied from snow, found 2 recs of this working well from him so I decided to try.

maybe the plan was bad considering the map: easy to wall, corners far away to shrine, many paths to sneak ashi raids, and full of chokepoints so cav can never fight well.

but I dont want to just blame the map here, I'm sure a good brit player in my place could play better so a analysis to better understand the mistakes would be nice. Maybe the whole plan was bad here? maybe was just bad execution? i'm not sure.

I rely to 99% on my positional understanding because i am too lazy to calculate

This was me. Sounds like you should try out Go
