What are the top 5 things I should be upgrading or building and in what order
That would depend entirely on what your strategy is.
Have you tried playing the walkthroughs?
Depends if you’re planning a fast castle or flush… flush upgrade a few blacksmith and pump out your units… fast castle you crank out a few more villagers upgrade one or two Econ techs and go
In general: unless youre fc’ing
Double bit axe
Horse collar
Those two, especially double bit axe are the 2 important eco upgrades you should get asap
-If youre going scouts or m@a/melee. Scale or armor, if youre going ranged fletching. But the unit upgrades depend on what youre gonna go for.
For something like wheelbarrow, it depends, sometimes if i feel that im far ahead and got housed, i’ll get wheelbarrow, if not then i postpone it to castle.
I guess all I was looking for is what should I be looking at to upgrade. I usually try to fast castle.
If youre doing fc, get DBA and horse collar ON THE WAY to castle age. If youre going for boomy 4 tc plays then get heavy plow.
How long should it take me?
man , it depends what you wish to do … The question has to be like "what is the easiest thing in age II for m e ? ? "
have a look at this video if you’re trying to learn to fast castle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JlANuLzzL0
For FC about 15 min is needed
