This is for the newbies: most people won't tell you this because they want to keep you at levels that makes it easy for them to raid your base - but I'm going to pass on the secrets of playing Dominations - and to heck with the consequences !!! (pardon my autocorrected potty mouth!!)

First, build a barracks. Then, when that's done, train your army. When they're trained, go off and raid some resources.
When you have enough resources, build something. Or upgrade something.
Repeat until you hit Global Age .....
Then just raid at your discretion - or until you hit the next age .....

There - nothing complicated. Now that the cat's out of the bag I'll wait for the inevitable ''WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE ....!!!'' backlash ......

Don't worry about me - you kids go off and play - I'll hold them off for as long as I can .......... go, go play .......

Someone told me when I started not to prioritize or even bother upgrading my farms and caravans - wish I had listened.

Adding on to what's already said :)
When you reach a new age, always prioritize upgrading your offensive capability first. This means, blacksmith/armory and barracks.
It's also helpful to initiate the library upgrade sooner than later. Both armory and library are great places to initiate some upgrades when all of your workers are held up in other upgrades, and you have some resources to spare.

Also, in certain ages, the sooner one can initiate these buildings/upgrades, the better it is:

Gunpowder Age:
Banners chapters at the library

Enlightenment Age:
Temple (to unlock Training Blessing)
Standing Army chapters at the library

Industrial Age:
Airstrip
Heavy cavalry to tank upgrade

Global Age:
Artillery to howitzer upgrade

Or:

As above, except start 2 accounts, preferably on 2 devices then when one constantly crashes and the other keeps working and you get the 'It's your connection' from CS, you can correct their misguided information.

First account: as above

Second account: Only go as far as Max Medieval and stop there. Do not upgrade to Gunpowder. There is no end-game so far, so make your own. It only takes 6-7 weeks to get this far, you don't need to buy any crowns or starter packs. Then just have fun in War or beating up rushed GP/EA/IA bases. You have 99% of the game at this point, Global tanks and howitzers are just tarted up Knight/Balista graphics and a few more HP & DMG, same dumb AI. If you spend another year on account #1 and get to Global, then you can donate Howitzers to yourself.

Only do enough caravans and farms to satisfy the Old Geezer with his Quests and only do the minimum road upgrades. They are worth a lot of buggy XP, but you want to appear weaker than you really are.

I mean, WTH?
The main question in Dominations is Angkor Wat or Versailles!
And you dare not to mention it at all?

Anyone out there to advice me on that?
I have changed back and forth between these two and still dont know what is better!

Ravenlord I will Unlike all the posts I have Liked from you if you don't answer these:

Which Wonder shall I build? Versailles or Angkor Wat?
Why or why not to build the Forbidden City?
Shall I use heavy tanks in attacks or only in defense?
How many Saboteurs/Commandos shall I have in my attack troops?

and the last one:
How can i achieve to have only female workers in my base?

Please, please please, tell me your secrets!

Should read the forums mate :)

Most of my farms/caravans are still medieval, I'd be Level170 if I'd umpteen man-weeks of time to doing them.

Oil wells are in the same category.

One of the first things in WW when scouting my opponent is how shiny their tractors are, bright red (and lovely blue delivery trucks) usually mean 5 stars for me.

I've had both (unfortunately not at the same time) and the answer is 'the one you don't have'

Exactly what I did after my initial Armory/Library upgrades. Very helpful when you have spare diamonds (hint: surplus of 10+ that you're not gonna use).

Congrats on the bars Flashy but you're missing the point - your post is too technical. K.I.S.S dude .....

Firstly ''what Eddie said''

Anyway, l dont care about 'likes' - but l cant ignore a fellow gamer in need ...
Which Wonder shall I build? Versailles or Angkor Wat? Seriously, how long have you been playing?
Why or why not to build the Forbidden City? Cos it's stupid looking ...
Shall I use heavy tanks in attacks or only in defense? <shrugs>
How many Saboteurs/Commandos shall I have in my attack troops? Saboteurs? Commandos? Ahahahahahahaha!!! Ohhhhh ...... (where's the belly laugh emoticon) 😂

and the last one:
How can i achieve to have only female workers in my base? By having a liberal thinking & enlightened government - one which does not pander to self interest groups or is mired in tradition. One which embodies the qualities of womanhood - nurturing, love, openess, common sense, decency, diplomacy .... oh wait, now l get it - you sèxist bàstàrd!!!
