Hey guys, finally got to play the game properly and here are some screenshots of what i made so far, getting ready to push the barbarians. 

The city is divided in four districts. 

In the first picture you can see the war district, the first district where i had trouble to settle due to barbarians, and the reason of why it became the epicenter of my military units.

In the second picture is the capital, settlers and elite units come from there (Still unfinished). So far i have 20 idle settlers and 20 militia units deployed thanks to this sector.

In the third picture you can see the lumber district, Self-explanatory, all the wood comes from there.

In the fourth picture you can see the Trading District at the botton, this one was the sector i settled in first, it supports both settlers and soldiers (About 6 settlers and 8 militia).

Along you can see my copper and stone village They're in rough terrain and its easier to protect the key points withouht covering the whole border, Which is not necessary and causes trouble when you try to movilize your army around the world. 

Tips: 

- You might notice i have a lot of roads and gatehouses, without those your wagons won't be able to transport items quickly, they tend to get stuck and take really long paths (Along with slowing down the game) when there aren't many paths. 

Forests are a great place to settle, wood is vital for making towers and skirmishers and it's the only basic resource you need when you're starting. 

Gatehouses have archers just like towers, is not necessary to put towers near the gates, plus gates need a worker aswell.

Hope you enjoyed my little empire, which is still growing by the way!.
