Gold is used for everything and gotten by upgrading your keep, getting population, and near the edges of the map, gold quarries. The basic accumulated resources are Gold, Wood, Stone and Iron. Population is gotten through homes, and likewise is used up by resource buildings, siege towers, and units. It does not “accumulate” but prevents you from building more things requiring it if you don’t have enough. Food is gotten through farms and consumed by people and advanced units. There are two basic resource limiters, in addition to the accumulated resources, food and population. It then widens up (the more the better) so you can place lots of towers. An ideal chokepoint has a narrow “funnel” that prevents enemies from spreading out and reducing the number of walls you have to build. The chokepoints will be where you put your temporary defenses (early on) and eventually your fortified defenses (for death nights and the final stand). Look for narrow chokepoints and resources. If your units aren’t healing, you’ll want to push out the edges of the map. They can turn back, eventually, if they find nothing to attack or have destroyed what they have found. They also will sometimes “patrol” where they venture far (length of a farm radius or more) from their idle position, towards your base. Units periodically spawn in groups to attack your base. This will buy your army time to respond to any attacks from wandering units. These single blocks will grab the enemy’s attention in a radius, and you can prevent your buildings from being attacked until it is destroyed when placed strategically. In the first few days, you’ll want to add a single basic wall between your building and the unlit edge. If there’s a small corner that you don’t want to build a house, build a basic wall. You do not need to light up the center of large obstacles like water, forests, and plateaus. Unlit, but explored areas have a greyish tint over them. Early on, place your food huts, & houses to expand the lit area.
Your eventual goal is to efficiently “light up” the entire map. Unlike most RTS that favor tightly packed, gridlike bases, this game favors very spread out bases. Tip: You can pause the game to give yourself time to place buildings or issue orders.
