  • Just build a gold mine(50 Wood) to help you speed up your gold collection.
  • After collecting all the required resources, construct a landmark of your choice and advance to the feudal age. 
  • Assign all the villagers to speed up your Landmark building process and after finishing, reassign them to their previous task.

Building an Archery Range & Stable

By the time you reach feudal age, you will have 300 blocks of wood in your inventory. If you don't have enough wood, build the archery range(150 wood) first and assign any gold miners to chop wood to make a stable(150 wood) later. 

After constructing both military buildings, train an Archer for 30 food and 50 wood in an archery range or an Early knight for 140 food and 100 gold from a stable.
