Game example (First 5 days):

1. I chose if I want to prioritize wood/stone. Placed district near primary resource.
2. Added camp in a way where I have some extra free tiles in case some peasants will die.
3. One district for stone.
4. Then excess energy used for farms and I can build a Well before week 2 to save at least 6/8 peasants I have.
That's just an example of a game flow, the further you go the more options you get with more buildings. I marked each day with a different color, numbers near structures represent the day it was built. Let me know if this makes it easier to figure out. Also, you can build a lot of farms if gold is hard to get, it's a valid strategy to keep peasants alive.
