Buildings 101: what to build first

Structures are the backbone of a kingdom, and build order should solve a real problem. Farms, Lumberyards and Quarries establish production. The Warehouse increases storage, the Barracks trains troops, the Academy unlocks research, the Hospital supports wounded-unit recovery, the Marketplace supports trade, and the Embassy supports alliance play. Upgrade the Town Hall as a general progression anchor. Interior structures belong on square village plots; the perimeter wall and main gate are upgraded directly and cannot be spawned on ordinary plots.
