the only thing which is good about aging so fast are the cossack shipments to raid, but therefore u raided to less.
i think you could be as fast with everything else by using a 11 settler age up on dekkan.
also i would use musk instead of strelets because if your opponent uses cav u get a problem, u can still ship 13 strelets of course but not only strelets+ grenadier+ 9 cossack, another advantage of musk would be the cost, musks and grens cost both food and gold, u dont have to gather wood to get some houses because your units dont cost wood. (only 2 ressource types instead of three, easier to manage especially with only 8 settlers )

u would get owned by a civ for example like germany because of cav

edit: im right with the blockhouse, u had it at 5 minutes, u can have the blockhouse at 5 minutes with 11 settlers age up also.
the only advantage u have are the cossack for rading but therefor you get a really really bad eco. not good imo

edit2: you would have won vs him with a simple strelet rush also (to your recorded game)

lol ok ill giv tht a try ty an i said i made a few mistakes that was mostly the eco side lol wiv the settlersbut ill try out the muskets instead of the strelets then but tbh i dont think a strelet rush without the gren would have worked as they were doing a lot of dmg and takin out their barracks. fast.
