How to Make Your Economy Boom in Age of Empires
Always be creating villagers., Do not ignore your military!
Step-by-Step Guide
-
Step 1: Always be creating villagers.
Villagers are the key to a great economy, as they gather resources and build buildings.
In fact, if for any instant that you are not creating villagers from your town center, then that is valuable time wasted, especially in the Dark Age (your performance of the first two minutes of the game on any civilization can determine whether your economy is superior to other players). -
Step 2: Do not ignore your military!
This guide should not be used for full game-play! Success in the game is from a strong and well-developed military, but in order to do that, you need a strong economy.
Beware of rushers that will invade your civilization in the Feudal Age, early Castle Age, or late Castle Age.
If you neglect militaristic development (unless you are in wonder race), you will lose the game.
