Age of Empires II - Handbook for a successful start to finish game
at the start of the game, as soon as possible, yet without any unnecessary and damaging stress, click on town center and create a villager, then select your 2 villagers and make a house with them, select the other vil and make a house as well. then shift click on the sheep so after they're done housing, they instantly go and make food. making a house is 25 seconds and making a villager having same time, that's why you make a house with 2 villagers to reduce the buffer time.
always make villagers and never stop producing, there's never enough villagers, especially at beginners level this can lead to a legit success.
the next villagers in town center should go to the wood and make a lumber camp, next vil go to food, next one go to wood, and so on and so forth. having 3 vil on wood is ok until Feudal Age. if you want to plan going next age as fast as possible, 6 vil on food is enough as well. if not, it's better to go to the next age with enough resources, not empty handed. every age provides you with many upgrades and units, you have to be able to afford it, but at the same time, going to next age is almost always in your favor. and beware that although your enemy will fear you now, they will prepare attacking you.
at the same time you have to be able to put your scout in your shortcut keys, ctrl 1-9, and do laming, which means laning some deers, gather your sheep around the town center etc.
start producing vils for the gold as well to start making infantry or pikesman for cavalry. if you are playing in a team game i.e. 4 v 4, you need 4 pikesman for each scouts. they are the counter units.
after this you either boom, start making units, skirmishes i.e. for being annoying to the enemy and never let them be comfortable. try to sabotage their miners and vils. this vil not only affect their economy but also become fearful and most players don't know how to react.
think about going to the next stage which is Castle age, and select some of your lumberjacks to make a stone mine and prepare to drop a castle in your enemy's face. we call this kind of castles DauT's Castle (you can watch a video about it on YT) and you either build that castle or you let the enemy interrupt the process. either way make that castle somewhere, even in your base.
don't forget mining upgrades plus farming and after that blacksmith upgrades for becoming more powerful than your enemy units. in castle age, try to build monastry quickly to gather as much relics as you can on the map, then build town centers to produce even more villagers and more farms.
To be Continued... maybe.
