Yes. I remember when I was a nub, I would have 12 on food, 10 on gold, and 10 on wood, and spend the rest on troops.
It doesnt work.
You must constantly make villagers and Town Centers When you have extra resources.
The common threat for noobs and too many vils is :
you wont have enough army.
Trust me, its enough.
Eventually you can have a bunch of rax, and keep spamming units, so that as 1 dies, another takes its place.
Try to get a Good classical time (4:30-5:30) (6~ as eggy)
Put villagers on all resources, particularly 4 on wood and gold unless doing a specific strat.
most vils go to food.
Dont make temple at start of game, invest in hunting dogs if there is alot of huntable animals.
