Players can get food by hunting, fishing, farming, and foraging. Farms don't need to be replanted unless destroyed. Players can probably get wood by cutting trees down. Since there're so many trees in maps, players shouldn't have a problem finding some. Gold Gold will probably not be very important until the Copper or Bronze Epoch where it'll be used to create weapons and other things.
Players can get gold by mining it from the ground.
Like other mineral resources such as stone and iron, this resource never runs out. Since players can only put a certain number of people to mine it, one extra gold spot can be very valuable. Stone Stone will probably play a big part in the first few epochs until gunpowder is introduced in the game. It will most likely be used to create walls, towers, castles, and other units or buildings. Players can obtain stone by mining it from the ground.
