Women have a huge bonus reaping them. 9 9 * grain: grain are produced by building a field. Women have a huge bonus reaping them. Fields can produce infinite food, so it's the more sustainable solution. 10 10 * meat: the sources of meat are animals, either the one available at map start (and spawning from time to time), or you can bread them. Please note that cavalry has a huge bonus hunting animal. 11 * fish: for naval maps, after building a dock and training a fishboat, you may use fish as a food source. Caution: like meat, the source is finite, and you have to switch to another area after exhausting one. 11 12 12 13 === Wood === … … 17 18 18 19 === Metal === 19 A lot of the best units (or the big structures like fortress or civic center) cost metal (the more you progress in the game, the more it's possible you need metal). 20 A lot of the best units (or the big structures like fortress or civic center) cost metal (the more you progress in the game, the more it's possible you need metal).

If you do that and practice, you'll be able to harass and manage your city (economy mainly) at the same time.
