Should I just massacre all my gold villies, and start pumping market animals? I'm always confused with the market because i barely use it and in long games.. it hurts. When I need gold in late late games is it smart to just kill all my gold villies, build a market the farthest away from the TC as I can and pump animals? Thanks

you should probably get your gold viligers and put them on food and wood. kill a few to make caravans and use the market to sell extra resourses. I hopw this helps. And try to make caravans in eairly mythic just to be prepared

Don't wait until your completely out of gold mines. When you have one or maybe even two mines left, begin to build your market. Usually you want to build your market as far away as possible from the waypoint TC. Make sure the trade route won't get interrupted by enemies though. When you are done with gold mining villagers, usually make them chop wood or build farms, unless you have too much economy (+1,000 extra of each resource).

Well I usually have TONS of food because I get many farms for my hopilites. I usually have decent amount of wood so Ill transfer a few to wood... But there has been some cases when there wasnt any tree patches left... but thankfully the game ends right around when that occurs... So basically I will probably kill the villies because I need the pop space because my army is usually taking over all my pop.

If you have too much villagers, dont press the delete button, but send them in suicide missions together with your army.

One more question... as your gold runs out and totally runs out, what is the general end total number of caravans (I forgot what the greek market unit was called?) do you have?
