+ Good early game pressure on his forward base, you weren't letting him start harrassing your base and economy.
+ Good decision to go Fortress at the time you did.
+ Your aggression was fairly good all through the game and you were never afraid to attack which usually was a good thing.

- The guardian system can be buggy, make sure you don't let your Dog die so early!
- Around the 8 minute mark, you had a lot of floating resources and you weren't creating any units or villagers, over 600 free wood!
- For the first few minutes of your Fortress, you weren't producing units during battles and you were losing a lot of force with this mistake.
- Rodeleros would have helped a lot in the first half of the game because of all his Hussars.
- I would consider having hackapells in your deck when vsing British, they would have helped al ot against his Longbowmen.
- Around 19 minutes, you had over 1200 food not being used or gathered for anything with no Villagers being created!
- When you were slowly taking down his forward base during 21 - 24 minutes, you missed a crucial Barracks in the middle of the map that continued to send units in from behind.
- Watch your micro, you had Pikemen attacking his Explorer while Hussars were attacking your Pikemen!
- More Musketeers this game would have helped a lot against his cavalry, they would have performed alright with some other units against Longbowmen as well.
- You lost your 2 Heavy Cannons far too easily, your micro wasn't the best in your artillery management and decisions, you got 3 Culverins when he had 1 Falconet!
- Your Pikemen producion was getting less and less effective and his army was getting more and more Musketeer based. Get Skirmishers!
- Getting some more Champion Cree would have been effective as well.
- Advanced Arsenal card should have been sent earlier, around late Fortress.

Your Pikemen didn't work very well for you at a lot of points during this game. The Pikemen were understandable when he was getting a lot of Hussars but Rodeleros would have been a lot better. Later on you got to Industrial earlier than him and you could have capitolised at this stage or just a little later, if you hadn't lost your Heavy Cannon shipment so early and you'd gotten more Skirmishers you could have won this game much earlier and in the end you could have been considered lucky to win the game. Still, very well played (that goes for gl0rious as well).

+ You made an interesting move at around 11 minutes when he was building a Stable and a Barracks, you didn't attack the builders but you went up close to kill a good lot of villagers, this was very nice.
+ Using your Villagers to kill some of the Falconets was a good quick thinking move!
+ Generally good unit choice and you defended off his attacks well.
+ Good raiding in the last few minutes of the game, you got him in a panic and his play was dropping a lot.

- From 8 minutes and a while after, you had a lot of floating resources as well - with no villagers being created!
- You were getting a great economy early in Colonial, a second Barracks would have helped a lot.
- You should have started attacking the Stable instead of the Barrakcs first, there was much more threat coming from the Stable.
- When attacking buildings, run your units right up to the building before attacking it to prevent your units from wasting time by running around each other.
- Even at the 14 minute mark, you still had far too much resource floating, over 1600 coin!
- When chasing his Cree with your Hussars, you needed to be running them forward then attacking.
- The first Saloon you built was never used and a waste of resources.
- At 20:00 you ran your 5 Hussars past a newly created Falconet and 11 Settlers!
- You were getting a lot of Hussars for the first half of the game - the veteran upgrade came too late.
- There were a number of battles by the coast and getting some War Ships to help out during them would have been a good idea.

You should have done much better this game and you should have won this game. You had quite a large resource floating problem late game and your unit production should have been much better. You were doing relatively well early on but you needed a second Barracks to overpower him with your far superior economy at that stage. Your Longbowmen were doing very well but you lost steam when he caught up in Fortress. Well played overall but your resource floating (population was never an issue) was not handled well.

Summary
A highly entertaining game with some major twists at stages during the game. A very large amount of action and fun to watch! ROTW Contender and Silver!
