: Focus on recruiting Longsword Knights , Longbows , and Medium Cavalry .

: Once you unlock Level 2 castles, prioritize upgrading your military buildings first to increase troop effectiveness.
: Construct economy buildings (like Blacksmiths or Markets) next to military buildings (like Barracks or Archery Ranges) to receive a free permanent craftsman .
: Always manually harvest wheat and fell trees when possible. Avoid the "Harvest All" or "Fell All" options, as they yield significantly fewer resources.
