I noticed you make alot of mistakes in the beginning like not building houses, but it does not foreshadow whats next to come, you're obviously very good.

i didn't watch it all but i saw up to when you went to castle, which you are right, you are slow...
first off learn to use your scout right... select your scout, hold down shift and click, you have just set a waypoint, set many waypoints in a circle around your base, then let go off shift and right click for the last waypoint (not holding shift) then your scout will follow all those waypoints so you don't have to watch it (meaning you can focus on building your town)
because of the scouting problems you had alot of idle villagers.... if you know what you want the next set of villagers to do, make a gather point (by selecting the town center than right clicking wherever) on what you want them to gather, so if you want wood, make the gather point on the wood right next to the TC and then you don't have to worry about him,as soon as he is made, he will go get wood... also i like to change my idle villager hotkey to the scroll wheel on my mouse, that way all i have to do is scroll my mouse and it will take me to an idle villager, so my vils are always doing something....
i cannot stress this point enough, dark age is for food.... FOOD.... you need to double what you had on food, i usually go firs 6-8 on food, (two build a house at beginning and 1 builds other, then onto food).... then i start to getting wood with the next 6-7 vils, then back to food with a few maybe dropping 1 or 2 on gold depending on what i am planning to do...
you did a great job on defending that rush though, but a human opponent wouldn't attack your tc with a bunch of archers so remember that.....
