Try the farming emperor to first build a gathering camp (food), then tents (population), then a quarry, a lumber mill, a rope and a spear, and so on. First get some inventory while on AFK, and then play again at night.

After finishing the game, the resources are almost saved. Complete the order and continue to build tents and other buildings. When the economy is almost done, start building barracks, and then the population, food resources, and barracks will be slowly built in a cycle.

Update, we are already the Farming Emperor. I found that there are two main sources of money in this game, market sales and war. The farming emperor has a lot of troops in the early stage, and war can easily get money. After playing for a day, I already have more money than in the Age of Empires. In contrast, smooth development may be more difficult to play.

By the way, because it is a war stream, the money for watching advertisements and market sales are relatively small. You can use the advertising opportunities to gain prestige or find information (search for enemies). In this way, you can quickly obtain good characters. If you do it 80 times a day, 4000 prestige, there is always something good.
