I just started a game as the Greeks (I'm normally Norse), and found that I got to the Titan age at 25 minutes (normally way later). Also, I had 67 villagers at the time, and almost no army (which didn't matter, I faced 7 easy opponents). At what time should I normally advance ages? And how many villagers should I have?
Maybe I should say this too: it was the first time that I tried to put hotkeys to a good use.

it all depends on the game and the strat you're using
5 to classical is average
heroic sometimes as early as 10 (if you're norse/greek)
and mythic, just get there when u have the eco unless it's part
of your strat (like going rag+fw)

Always train villies. You should have more than 80 at end of game due to trade. Start getting trade during heroic age! Also, getting to mythic means getting 10 free villies - AKA plenty vault. Very handy.
In mythic your first priority is getting an exit strategy - a wonder or titan. I would choose a good place where your wonder/gate would go and begin to fortify it with walls and towers. When possible, go titan. Once you have titan, go wonder. Lame is king.

Ok thanks, now I know that I´m getting there. (Now I also know that potato heads live in Idaho - I'm so going there once!!) Should I also constantly train soldiers? I never do that, I usually build an army just before I'm going to use it.

no i do not live in texas or idaho
yes half of my extended family lives in idaho
hell to the **** NO would i ever be caught living in texas
why would any of my posts intimate that i live in either of those 2 states?
ps: whoever posted this, you need to constantly train villagers and army. i dunno about the other civs, but as norse i end up with about 35-40 villagers and a full popped army as soon as possible
but that changes depending on what strat i do, etc.
