Does anyone have any tips how to stay calmer and levelheaded during ranked?

I purchased AOE2DE in back in February and I've started playing a bit of ranked recently. I haven't had many RTS experiences like AOE2. I've played a lot of Total War MP but that's considerably simpler than AOE2. My most played game over the last few years is R6:Siege, in which I've reached the high ranks consistently, the main appeal of R6:Siege actually led to try out AOE2 to begin with (think operator/civ knowledge, map knowledge, strategies and high skill ceiling)

I originally sat around 500 ELO, but by now I hover at about 900-1.1K ELO. However, I still get quite overwhelmed thus completely forgetting about certain parts of my territory and I've resigned a couple of times too early since I got over-pressured.

I mostly play Byzantines, Slavs and Magyars. I tend to play defensively and rely quite heavily on trash units together with some siege, then by late game I tend to start building up gold costing units, which generally works as my opponents spend their gold early on.

I am still struggling a bit with build orders and how different maps call for slight variations in strategies. I also struggle a bit with keybindings still as well, but I've been experimenting with them to find more comfortable combinations for me.

If you have any tips or resources on how to improve, send them my way! Thank you!
