READ DESCRIPTION FOR CONCISETIPS:

Overall Strategy Takeaway
English vs Mali:
Mali will generally try to go to the castle age quickly, behind making cows for their eco.
Strategy 1:
Mali will want to go FC. Build some units, harass their eco, get up to castle yourself. Try to delay the enemy (even if you can't stop it) from getting to castle quickly. Scout what producers they make, if stables, be prepared to go xbow/spear to fight sofas.
Strategy 2:
Go all in with building units in feudal, constantly attack and kill villagers, trap the enemy in his base, kill him and stop him from going castle age

3. Use the counter system in your favor. Horsemen beats archer. Spear beats horsemen, Archer beats spear. (This is a vast generalization)
4. Scout to see what your enemy is doing. Lots of villagers on gold, likely going Fast Castle. Villagers have mined a lot of stone, likely going with 2 Town Centers
