what you are probably after is a build order, but i cant give you one becuase i dont know many that are useful.
I can give you a fairly basic, but often overlooked villager micro strategy.
This only applies to norse.
When you start you get 2 villies and ox cart (loki/odin) if you see hunt, walk towards the hunt (do not click to attack the hunt from afar), walk right next to the hunt and before your villagers stop, shoot the deer/animal.
What this does - means you arent standing far away shooting off very inaccurate shots. Sometimes a villager might hit the deer but the other misses and the deer runs away, your villies try to shoot, they miss, try to shoot, they miss, deer runs into the black, and causes alot of problems.
-most efficent way to kill a deer
becuase you are already walking the same distance anyway, you might as well walk there, then shoot accurately, your villies wont miss fron close by and then start gathering asap.
