The foundation of empire building is constructing your city. The first step is to choose a location for your city. You will want to choose a spot near fertile land, where you can grow crops and collect resources. Once you’ve selected the location, the first thing you will need to do is construct a town center. From there, you can begin building houses, farms, and other essential structures.

To build a structure, click on your town center, then on the 'build' button, and choose the building you want. Each building has a specific purpose, such as collecting resources and producing troops. Make sure you build a balanced city, with a mix of houses, farms, and other necessary buildings.

Chapter 3: Resource Management

Once you have built your city, it's time to manage your resources. Resources are essential for building structures and recruiting troops. There are four types of resources in the game; food, wood, stone, and gold. Collecting resources involves constructing buildings that can gather resources, such as farms and lumber mills.

Managing your resources is key to success in Dawn of Ages: Empire at War. To manage your resources, you will need to keep a balance between the resources you are collecting and using. If you don't keep a careful balance, you may find yourself running out of resources, which will slow down your growth.

Chapter 4: Recruiting Troops

Recruiting troops is an essential part of building your empire. To recruit troops, you will need buildings such as barracks and stables. Each building produces different types of soldiers, such as archers, spearmen, and cavalry. You can choose which type of troops to recruit based on your army's needs.

To recruit troops, click on the barracks or stables and choose the unit you want to recruit. You will need to have enough resources to recruit a unit. It's important to balance the number of troops you recruit with the number of resources you have available.

Chapter 5: Battle Strategies

Once you have built your army, it's time to start battles. Battles involve attacking and defending your city against enemy forces. Before launching an attack, make sure you have a large enough army and enough resources to sustain it.

To attack an enemy city, click on your army and select the 'attack' button. Choose a target, and your army will move to the enemy city. During battles, you can control your troops' movements and actions, such as attacking specific targets or moving to a different position.

Chapter 6: Advanced Strategies

As you progress through the game, you will encounter more challenging enemy forces. To win battles against these forces, you will need to utilize more advanced strategies. Some of these strategies include:

1. Building walls - constructing walls around your city can help protect it from attacks.

2. Upgrading buildings - upgrading your buildings will improve their efficiency, allowing you to collect more resources and recruit stronger troops.
