Economy
Villagers' main task is to work on your economic fields to gain the basic resources: food, wood, iron, stone and gold. They're trained in a towncenter, which is placed automatically in each village. After their training, you can send them to work on a field (to produce resources), let them study in your university or library, or let them pray in your temple (to gain favor). You can also choose for Peons instead of villagers, these are highly efficient villagers.
On the fields, villagers' productivity depends on the size (level) of the field, it's soil, it's current activity and the number of villagers working on it. When there are to many villagers working on one square, it's efficiency will drop. By praying in a temple, each villager gains 1 favor/hour.
Villagers are also needed to found new villages. Lastly, they're immortal and don't consume any food or gold.
Military
Infantry are the soldiers that fight on foot. They are cheap, and trained fast. Infantry is regularly effective against cavalry and weak against archers and siege weapons. They are trained in a barrack. All soldiers consume food, and the stronger ones need gold too.
Archers are soldiers that fire from far range. They are more expensive than infantry and trained a bit slower. They are very effective against infantry but they are weak against cavalry. They are trained in an archery range. All archers will consume food and the stronger and more expensive ones will also consume gold. You also have archers that fight on a horse, we call them cavalry archers and they also belong to the archers group.
These are soldiers that fight on a horse. They are a bit more expensive and the training will take longer. But they move faster than other soldiers. Cavalry is effective against archers and is weak against infantry. They are trained in a stable, and will consume food and gold.
These are soldiers that you can hire in your Mercenary Post. They cost gold only, as train price, and will arrive in your village after a certain amount of time. Mercenaries are normally stronger but there upkeep costs of food and gold is more than any other infantry, archers or cavalry.
The purpose of the siege weapons is to destroy buildings and walls. They can also be used to fight against armies as well, especially against infantry and archers. Siege weapons are quite expensive to buy, and upkeep. They are built in the Siege Workshop.
The purpose of scouts is to gather and withhold information from your enemy. Send them to spy on the enemy town or have them keep an eye on possible enemy spies.
Leaders and the King will command your armies. Due to their orders the armies will fight more effective and will fight better. Leaders can be trained in the Academy and the King can be trained in a Palace. These are very expensive units, but move on a horse and will have the benefits of cavalry units. You can educate leaders and royals in the academy
Religious
If you let priests pray in the Temple, they will generate favor. Priests are also needed to steal a relic. You can do this by destroying the entire defending army and destroy the Treasury. At least one priest has to survive the battle and then he will take the relic with him.
A prophet will generate 25 favor/hour. A prophet can also block certain godpowers.
