You play extremely well, I would really like to know what all keybinds/control group binds you use for army/buildings and learn it for myself as a new aoe4 player if possible. As someone looking to main HRE!
Strange that you feel this MU is (in slight) favour of HRE. Statistics on aoe4world show it is notably favoured for French, looking at both the entire player pool and only at conqueror level. That is throughout ever single patch since the game was released. Considering there is a whopping 600 ELO difference between the two, the French did really well as recognizable in the 15m mark. The push in the 22m was a bit more desperate but also not without causing stress. He did very well considering the ELO variance, which to me in part signals the systemic statistics on this MU.
When I mention balance I usually refer to balance within the top8 players in the game, not so much about aoe4world statistics. I believe this matchup is easier to play for French than it is for HRE, so out of the very top I guess it's probably French favoured
