• The storerooms can contain different items including a production bonus that will cause a building to produce up to a triple amount of output.  Use the storerooms as they become available and go there first if you can.  
• After the first few levels, you will be able to click on your worker to make him work faster.  This is crucial to some levels and something I do so habitually that I do not tell you to do so but just assume you will.  
• Wizards--good thing or bad thing?  They kind of impede your progress but they also give you a production bonus if you chase them off. 
• Wizards will go away even if you don't click on them.  You won't get the bonus production though. 
• It is easier to keep your buildings from freezing than to unfreeze them, so put priority on stopping the freezing balls and then click on the wizard, rather than clicking on the wizard and repairing the damage later.  
• You can hear a whooshing sound before a wizard comes.
• The level does not finish until you complete both the main task and the bonus task, so don't worry about doing the bonus first.
• The goal items for the main task have a green arrow bouncing over it and the bonus tasks have a gold bouncing arrow.  
• You must finish the main tasks before the time expires to move on.
• Sparkling obstacles indicate that it will provide you with resources when you remove it.  
• Hovering over an obstacle or building will tell you what resources you need to remove or build it.  If it produces resources there will also be an white box underneath with the income.
• Sometimes debris or a swamp will give you resources and sometimes it won't.  You can tell by looking for the sparkles and/or the income box.  
• The ultimate goal for the game is to get all the trophies.  To do this you will need to finish all 4 chapters, complete all  bonus tasks for all 4 chapters, complete the 4 bonus levels, and complete the collection of items dropped by the dragon.

Basic Strategy (this is not always the case but a pretty good start):
1. Collect from the storerooms
2. Build sawmill
3. Build farm
4. Build mine
5. Build house
6. Repeat until you max out for the level
7. Build everything up before you clear further down the road or go after the Wizards.
8. Destroy the Wizard's Portal before going after the other goals, unless you happen to like the bonus a wizard gives.
