Key:
-
* = A Non- Technology Building (These are structures that don't unlock new technologies but are vital for other reasons, like defense or housing.)
-
F = Food
-
W = Wood
-
G = Gold
-
S = Stone
- Prioritize your Town Center; it's your main hub and has the most HP. Losing it is usually game over.
- Walls are cheap (5S for Small Wall, 5S for Medium Wall) and great for early defense. Don't underestimate them!
- Defensive towers like the Ballista Tower and Guard Tower can be costly but are essential for holding choke points or protecting vital resources.
- The Wonder is an endgame building. It's incredibly expensive (1000W, 1000S, 1000G) and takes a lot of resources and time to build, but it's a victory condition.
- Buildings like the Barracks, Archery Range, and Stable are where you train your military units, so plan their placement carefully for quick deployment.
