Has anyone got any. I'm kind of a noob in terms of these types of games. I usually tend to play games more focused on combat like command and conquer and battle for middle earth, but when it come to empire builder games I always tend to have a weak economy. And when I see that my oponent has like 90 villagers I help but to think how can he have spent so much money on economy and still have such a large army. Also how can you multitask that much.
Some tips would be appreciated as when I log on the the servers and try to play people end up calling me a nub.
Cheers

Yea, CptIronMike has the idea. You just have to spend some of the resources you acquire into your economy and it grows more. When you get pretty good, by about 20 minutes game time you should be able to have 4 or 5 barracks or stables constantly producing units (for pre WW).
When I used to play all the time, I'd have a nice rush (which I can no longer do with any of my civilizations, as I discovered by running the game today) and by 20 minutes gametime, I'd have at least 8 barracks and/or stables and/or temples and the such churning out units. It is sometimes more or sometimes less depending on how much fighting is going on and how many civs were killed in rushes and the such.
