First off, build two houses with two peons, que 4 peons at TC send third to to build granery by some berries,(asuming its reveal), then after the first house is built send the second peon building house to berry pit. Then 1st peon should pop out, chop trees near TC and same with peon building house once he's finished. Then next 2 peons out should goto berry pit, last one goes to wood around TC(you don't have a wood pit yet) then as soon as your food hits 40/50 hit that peon button. your going with 4 peons on berry always, no more, no less(at least until you get to late bronze).*Note* While this is going on you should be looking for a good place to wood pit. Near some stone/gold or/and some gazzelle is ideal. then you should have about 4/5 villes on wood by the time you get 120 for a pit. Once you do only send 2 of your woodies to build your pre-selected wood spot. Then let the others keep chopping wood. Once the pits built put the rest on on wood)except your 4 berry pickers of course). You should be needing a house soon, so as soon as you get 30 wood build another house. Throughout this keep building peons. Next after the house your going to be aim for a 100 wood for a dock, after finding a good wood spot you next need to look for a good dock spot *same those shore fish for your villies!* Before yhe dock though, you'll want to find some shore fish close to the TC, if not then put your next 4 peons hunting/shore fishing. To sumerize you should have 4 berry pickers, 4 hunter/shore fishers and 8 woodies. AFter your dock is built, and you have 120 wood, you can pit somewhere for some shore fish. then your gonna want 2 more villes for hunting/shore fishing. And as you get the wood build 4 Fishing boats. By now you should have near 500 food. When you hit that tool button, you should have 18-20 villes, not including boats. While your tooling, make sure to build your barracks. Then if you've got a good shore fish spot and 4-5 villes hunting, 4-5 boats, and those 4 berry pickers, by the time you tool(witch should be around 9-10 min.), you should have around 600-650 food. the ONLY thing you wanna research during tool is toolworking at a storage pit. Make sure you have enough wood for a market and a stable/archer range in order to bronze. Once you get 800 hit the bronze button. WHILE your bronzing switch 2-3 villes over to gold/stone. then while your bronzing you can upgrade woodworking gold/stone mining (and if your planing on making cavs to harrass some ememy villies, leather armor cavelry too). Now your all set! You should bronze by 13-14 minutes. Whew, these long posts are killing me. Open for suggestions. When I play after I bronze I usally get 4-5 cavs in by 15-16 minutes. And i just keep making em and sending em in until I get about 6-7 then I quit and build some ST's and a few slingers with some chariots usally. then I concentrate a little on my navy, 4-5 war galleys usally do it. ok Post your suggestions/feed back plz!!!!
