Understanding my losses & analysing recs

Hi aoebuilds.com

I am a fairly new member, and I'm excited to be working through the excellent videos by Jupe et al.

I understand that it is important to watch my recorded games to learn from them. I look at villager counts and military numbers, but I'm not sure what I should really be looking for. A blog post about 'what to look for in your recorded games' or similar would be super useful. I'll try to link a recent recorded game (1v1 franks war, arabia, 1150 Elo) to illustrate my point. I just don's see any glaring mistakes?

Edit: I cannot link the game as file size is restricted

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Seems something very important for new players to try to get a grasp of.

Try linking to aoe2.net game instead

Awesome thanks for the tip. I'll try to upload the rec again:

Nope, seems the .zip file I download from aoe2.net is too large to be uploaded (Though it is only 0.35 mb)

Thanks Jupe! Test:

aoe.ms/replay/?gameId=57232889&profileId=239048

This was a game I played vs Persians and almost threw a few times. I'm trying to learn to play cleaner games. I have watched the recording but still I'm not sure what I should be looking for.

In the recording I look at:
Map analysis like in the videos here
Sources of idle TC time in the dark age
Villager numbers for each player

I know I should be looking also at:
Resource balance in Feudal (I think this falls under 'Strategy' more than Build Orders?)
Late game decisions like what hills to castle
TC placement options

Thanks for any input. But please only reply if you have time- I will keep using the great build order videos on the website!
