Game 1 Matte vs Bokisergy
I see you have improved a lot. This game was a close one. Boki definitely had more control. You castled at the 30 min marker, I believe if you learn more about expanding your economy in feudal, and you'll become formidable doing a full fuedal. Try this... place the gather point on wood as soon as you feudal. Now monitor your wood income actively, to place a farms down as soon as you have over 60 wood. Pull woodchoppers off from chopping to create farms with them. While also replacing them with your tc gather point until there is a good balance, but you want more food then wood in fuedal age, because obviously you need to castle or build more scouts. The idea is to have the maximum amount of wood as fast as possible to create the maximum amount of farms in a short period of time. Learn to do this until you have about 12-16 farms. Go for 12 if you want to expand to two ranges faster. For instance if you go 12 farms fast, you can still get up 2 ranges before 14-15 minutes, if you go 14-16 farms you can go a late archery range expansion, but you must keep building scouts as if your going full feudal. Ideally you should know if your oppenent is open or not, so in this case Boki was very open so keep adding scouts and dont be minded if he goes castle before you. I'm sure you have seen games where a good player is beaten by another good player in late feudal while that player was in castle. This should have been that same case. It takes some times to become comfortable doing it, but once you have some success it becomes easier and easier.
Tip 1: If you notice he is open and not closed, keep pumping scouts constantly, there were some moments you left your stable and archery ranges idle.
Tip 2: When engaged in battle try to remember to spend your income actively, especially during a full feudal. So make good contact with him, and keep spending your res.
Your walling was helpful. It seems the only thing you did wrong was when you made contact with the enemy engaging in battle things went slightly down hill.
Tip 3: Learn to find battle lines; the point where two armies collide, his army has to cross through some point to get to your base learn them all for defensive purposes. For instance if he walled his entire left side you know that his army has to cross from the right side of his base to get to you. Its best to fight outside your base then inside your base. That is why you find battle lines in game quickly. Finding them is not completely imperative, but it is very helpful. Don't base winning on it though. When you become 1800 you'll understand it more clearly.

Also learn his battle points in game. These are areas the enemy will continually try to attack you from because it is a weak spot for him to penetrate. They are easy to find its the place his army keeps showing up. In your case it was your gold. Find battle points and battle lines to catch his army in their tracks.
There are some players that go different routes, but at your level you really do not have to worry about that. That is why many players tell beginners to learn to play on a open map and no walling to discover battle points and lines. Because no matter what; his army has to cross the center of somewhere to reach you.
So keeping pumping scouts, when engaged in warfare, think on your economy as well, and finally learn to find battle lines and battle points. To help you make better engagement in warfare.
