In the very beginning I like to move my town hall. That helps me to see everything and to use the space more efficiently. My motto is: As few streets as possible. Unfortunately that motivates many players to place many decorations as these do not need a connection to a street. You can fill gaps with it sooo easily. But that is not a good idea. To enable your city to take the best advantage of other players help tiny buildings and decorations should be eliminated. Cultural buildings are much better to keep your people's happiness above 120%. Just delete all decorations at the beginning. Also replace the initial small cultural buildings as soon as possible.
Buying diamonds can make many things much easier and speed up your success. But this channel demonstrates how to succeed without buying diamonds. As a result you should be very mean with the few diamonds you get through normal gameplay. Never spend them for laziness, research, forge points or building space. The best use for your diamonds is to buy the last missing blue print for a legendary building you want to start. That reduces the time to wait significantly.
As soon as you start fighting, it is an advantage to know which units were produced in military buildings and which are unattached. You will prefer to use unattached units for your city defence and those from military buildings for your attacks. You find the appropriate option in 'Settings'.
As soon as you developed the fruit farm a mini game will be enabled: the treasure hunt. That is an excellent offer for those playing a lot. If you have the possibility to access your computer several times during the day, you can receive serious rewards like blue prints, unattached units and forge points. It is absolutely worth to do that!
Collecting your coins and supplies regularily you can do with a single click and moving the mouse pointer over all relevant buildings. That is much faster than single clicks on individual buildings.
You can replace houses directly. It is not necessary to remove one house before you build a new one. Replace your houses by chalets as soon as possible. With these it is much easier to provide the population needed on that limited building space. These chalets are your only house type until iron age. Then you replace them by cottages. These will last for quite a while.
With these hints you will reach iron age within a few days and have the best preparation for everything that comes next. Have fun!

A tip about the small happiness buildings for later in the game. On daily quests when you are asked to produce 700 or 800 points as part of a quest, find the cheapest and easiest decoration to produce such as the obelisk which only costs few gold, or the tree a few tools, or the memorial relatively inexpensive as you get into the game. Only a matter of seconds to produce and you see you immediately gain happiness. Then immediately delete what you just built. The happiness will remain in the quest. Then build it again, delete again, build again, until you reach the total happiness needed in the quest. It takes a little longer with trees or obelisks (if your city has very limited building room), but it works very quickly with memorials with memorials adding 72 points each time. The total cost then is minimal gold or supplies to fulfill the quest instead of trying to build some higher level building or decide what you want to get rid of in your city to make room for added happiness that you otherwise don't need at the moment. Also for quests when it asks you to just build anything anything tearing down a trail and rebuilding it costs you nothing and fulfills the quest. And a similar tips works with military quests when it asks you to build an unspecified kind of military. At higher levels you could just put down a spearfighter. You can build the units in a matter of seconds. And if needed you can also quickly delete the spearfighters in the army management and then rebuild them again.

best intro video to FoE on the web. Reccommend the PowerStart series by FoEhints as well. Wish my Alexa had the same voice. Now that would be fun!

A tip about when you are asked to build a specific type building such as a triumphal arch, for example, to fulfill a quest but you don't really have anywhere to put it. If you already have one of that same building and you can afford to lose the happiness tear it down. Then rebuild the exact same triumphal arch again to fulfill the quest and except for the time and cost of rebuilding you have the exact same thing as you had already and have now fulfilled the quest.

I wish we could expand more earlier throughout the game

Thank you very much

I have this game on my phone, so checking my shit constantly is a breeze!

Hi, your tips are great. Thank you very much. Though I`m really lost in my game cause I miscalculate constructing buildings and ran out of people (just 10 persons). Is there some way to increase my population? The problem is that I lack space and should sell some buildings in order to free some, but as I have no people I`m not able to sell. I`m trapped here, please help me!!! Peace and blessings from Montevideo (Uruguay)

What is the name of the background music!? Please, I gotta know -- it's so good!!!

Isn't it also worth spending Diamonds on extra expansions? You can get blueprints from investing in friends advanced buildings or from helping each day?
