Resource balancing
Adjust Villager assignments to meet the immediate costs of the plan, such as wood and gold for Archers or food and gold for Age advancement. Recheck the distribution when the army, upgrades, or next Age changes what you need.

Overview
Adjust Villager assignments to meet the immediate costs of the plan, such as wood and gold for Archers or food and gold for Age advancement. Recheck the distribution when the army, upgrades, or next Age changes what you need.
How to execute the plan
Assign Villagers according to the next planned spend: food for Villagers and unit queues, wood for Farms and production buildings, and gold for the chosen army or research. Recheck assignments after an Age advance, a lost resource camp, or a shift in military production.
Risks and response
A fixed worker split becomes wasteful when the plan or map changes. Watch for resource stockpiles that production cannot spend and for queues blocked by a missing resource; move workers before adding buildings or making unnecessary Market trades.
