Additionally, you should ALWAYS use your starting Scout Cavalry to look for early game sheep as this is an essential source of food for the early progression. This is flexible as you could send each villager to build a house and have one additional villager to scout for food if needed.

Unless you're villager rushing, the main priority for your civilization is going to be consistent villager production in the Town Center, collection of food and wood as well as proper scouting.Īs the round starts, the first thing you need to do is queue up villagers in the Town Center and build two houses with the three villagers that you already have. Knowing of what to do in the first five to six minutes of each game will most definitely improve you as a player. Every civilization except the Huns starts in the same way- build an early house to avoid population cap, farm sheep and go for lumber. Learning the proper build orders and their execution is crucial if you want to win in most RTS games, and this applies to Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition as well.
