Overview

A compact economy tutorial: use villagers to gather each resource and build a basic stockpile.

Gather the three required resources

The objective is a small stockpile of 50 food, 50 wood, and 50 gold. Send Villagers to accessible food first, then use nearby trees and a gold mine for the remaining requirements. A resource does not count until a worker delivers it, so watch the stockpile at the top of the screen and allow loaded Villagers to reach a drop-off point.

Why the order matters

Workers walking between distant sites are not collecting. Put the appropriate drop-off structure close to a resource when the travel distance would otherwise be long, then leave enough Villagers on each task to finish the three targets without continually switching jobs. This is the same basic balance later used to fund buildings, research, and military production.
