Generally, 40 wood per tree (compare to Age 2’s 100 wood)
Trees – Have a variable amount of wood. Elephants have high DPS but are slower than a villager enabling you to kite. Villagers can kill lions and alligators 1 on 1 without upgrades if they throw the first spear (alligators are slow so you might want to micro your villager back a bit) Wolves – Replaced with lions and alligators. Cost 75 wood each (compare to Age 2’s 60 wood each)
A market can’t be built until the tool age.
Farms: Aren’t available until a market is built. Hunting: Gazelle (deer equivalent) spawn in larger groups and can be hunted efficiently.
Town Center: Any resource can be dropped off at the Town Center. Can only accept food from elephant, shore fish, crocodiles, lions and antelope. Storage Pit: Accepts all wood, gold, and stone. Granary: can only accept food from Berries and farms. No Palisade walls or equivalent – Walls cannot be made until they are researched at the granary starting in the Tool Age Houses support only four population – Unlike Age 2’s five Loom – No equivalent early game upgrade in Age:DE, villagers are a little stronger though No garrisoning – you can’t hide your villagers in the event of an attack Use one of your villagers to scout at the start
No starting scout – you only get 3 villagers.
