For Nighthawk:
Your startup still needs som help. Task 3-4 vils to get food, once you get 100 food for first vil move all but 1 vil to hunts. Don't collect the gold crate. You don't need it yet. Practice poping vils through your TC. It can save you 8-10 seconds on your age time.

Set a way-point for your tc early. This way you can keep your explorer moving.

The 30xp treasure is a better treasure than the gold treasure at that point in the game. But you ended up getting both so it's fine.

On the age up every time you have 135 wood, build a house until you build 2. Shift-click your vil building your house and set a waypoint for your vil that comes out of your house.

At 7:00 mins you had 1 rax, 5 lb's and 3 pikes supported by 23 vils. Way too little. If you are going infantry go dual rax. Even if you are going to schooner boom.

700 wood is usually better spent making 5 manors. That's five vils and free pop space.

You lost this game due to poor resource management. You had 13 vils food/12 wood. You are a very wood heavy civ. 3-4 more vils on wood minimum. Especially if you are going schooner boom.

Don't send pikes into the mace's.
