Great initiative. Totally decent commentary in terms of speaking speed, clearness etc. Also I like really many of the suggestions about traffic and stuff placement. I would like to argue on a few things though:
1) If you don't block stone delivery, I believe you will need less than 5 masons for 20 builders. Blocking stone delivery obviously reduces somewhat the total amount of stone you gather, because there will be short moments where mason is waiting for stones to be taken away.
2) I think you can have less woodcutters than 9 if you place them in a place where there is actually space for planting and cutting trees.
3) THREE iron smelters? I might be going over the edge here but I believe my tests show that actually 3 mines can properly supply only one iron smelter. Try it in singleplayer with 1 and 2 smelters per 3 iron mines. And check if you get any bonus even from the second one.
4) I would keep building stuff like beginning of leather production, extra towers, mine updates etc. Just in case the other players are also competent.
However I must say you got a pretty large army fast so it defenitely works on that map.
