Resources are the lifeblood of your empire. Food is gathered from hunting animals, farming, or fishing, and is primarily used to train villagers and military units. Wood is harvested from trees and is essential for constructing most buildings and some siege units. Coin is obtained from mines, trade routes, or factories, and is vital for advanced units, technologies, and Home City shipments. Population represents your maximum unit count, limited by houses and town centers. Efficient resource gathering and a balanced economy are paramount. Always aim to keep your villagers busy, assigning them to gather resources that are most needed for your current strategy. Early game focus should be on Food and Wood to expand your villager count and establish basic infrastructure.
