I get lost as to when I should castle. I've been going 6-8 scouts, 11 on wood, 9 on gold, then add farms to 15 total with new vills, I already have and archers from 2 ranges. What should I be adding my new villagers to? Should I ever stop villager production so I can stockpile food to castle? Should I be going to 15+ farms and then cutting down to 12 in castle so I can ca+mangonel harder?
If you have the time, this rep shows my confusion with feudal. I saw 3 ranges and thought he was going to flush my gold so I towered it and added another range. Then he castled pretty fast and I was behind from there so there's no need to watch after he hits castle age.

Off topic: What does it mean when someone writes something like 20+2 for a build order? I think it's usually referenced for castle age times rather than unit counts? I can't remember exactly where I've seen it before, but I've seen it in some guides and posts.
