Easy gold

  • Build a Monastery as soon as you reach the Castle age. Collect as many Relics as possible. For every Relic you have, you will get one gold per second. For example, if you have five Relics, you will get five gold per second.
  • Build a Market as far away from your allies as possible. Then build 20 to 30 Trade Carts. Send them to trade with your allies. After all of your Trade Carts are built, you will get a lot of gold. If you have 30 built, in about ten minutes you will have earned at least 10,000 gold.
  • If you are in the Black Forest, get over 20 Villagers to chop Wood (30 would work better). After you have 20,000 Wood, sell it for a lot of gold.

Easy opponent elimination

At the beginning of any random map game, at least oneCPU opponent will become your ally if you give them 100 of theresource that they request. Remember the opponent that asked forthe resources, as this will be important later. Wait at leastuntil the castle age, then give that opponent the resources theyasked for. At this point during the game, you should have eitherwell over 4,000 of all resources or a large military (dependingon your population limit). Either way, that payment should beno more than a small investment. Next, set your stance with themto ally. When you have a large enough army, switch your stanceto either enemy or neutral and attack them. They should be almostcompletely eliminated before they switch their own stance to enemy.
