To set a Gather Point

1. Click the building you want to create units for.

2. On the lower-right of the screen, click the

appropriate Set Gather Point icon (economy unit

or military unit).

3. Move the pointer to the location where you want the

units to gather, and then click that location to set the

Gather Point Flag.

Units generated from that building will now gather at

the location you speciﬁed. Setting a new Gather Point

moves the Gather Point from its original location to

a new location.

Reconnaissance

It’s important that you continue to explore your map

during gameplay. Until you send your Explorer or other

units into the hidden areas, large parts of your map will

remain unexplored.

Enemy buildings, walls, and units will remain hidden

until you explore your map and discover the areas

where they’re located. Only by uncovering your enemy’s

locations and military unit choices can you devise an

effective counter-strategy.

After you’ve explored an area, its buildings and units will

remain visible. Ongoing changes to those buildings and

units, however, will not be visible to you, unless they are

within sight of a unit or building from your civilization.

To create a military unit

1. Click the appropriate building for the type of unit you

want to create.

2. In the

Command panel, click the Create Unit button

for that unit.

3. Repeat Step 2 to

queue up and create additional units,

or hold down the SHIFT key and left-click to queue

up to ﬁve military units at one time.

The military unit (or units) you created will appear near

its building.

You can train different units at the same building at the

same time. Units are created in the order in which you

queued them. The appropriate resources are deducted from

your stockpiles when you add the unit to the queue.

Choosing Where New Units Gather

All buildings that create units also let you choose where

the new units gather. As an example, if you’re creating

villagers at your Town Center, you can set the silver mine

as a Gather Point, so that as your villagers are created they

automatically gather Coin from the mine.

Many buildings have economic and military Gather

Points, allowing you to have different units go to

different places.
