They'll want six Villagers gathering berries as most civilizations to maintain constant Villager production. Then, they should build a Granary by the berries to start getting food. Players should start by building one or two Houses before exploring until they find berries. Players face four main challenges when trying to expand and advance quickly in the Stone Age. This is due to the more random nature of resource allocation in this game's random maps.
Compared to some other games in the series, Age of Empires can have relatively loose build orders.
