This is a guide for all newbies or the ones who wants to start over at a new server.
Some (even the experienced players) forget which buildings and research open for hurry speed-ups, well they can see its below 5 min but at some point many forget they have free speed-ups and push speed-up :-) Building-time needs to be 5 min. and under. You don't have the resources if you keep speed-up buildings but remember to use your Amulets, they might give you extra resources in the beginning - You'll have 2 from scratch and gain another 1 when you apply your first. That will be 3.
You might have some extra gold, and my advice is to buy resources for that amount of gold you might have (you don't really need gold for anything else in the beginning). Build a Marketplace.
AND remember to do the quest (in your quest-log "Administration") to raise your production to 100% instead of 80%.
Another advice - Don't use your 15 min. speed-ups when you upgrade your walls and town hall, unless you've won a lot of resources and have plenty for other upgrades, because at some point you will be forced to wait because of the lack of resources anyway. Its better to wait for later until you're able to have a better flow in your building-queue

A guide for the experienced player will follow, and we'll at some point try to compile all the guides to one. But we still believe in small guides with a quick overlook rather than the long- and hard-to-understand guides many other sites and forums have :-)
