The most important resource is villager seconds

If they are not managed correctly all else does not matter. :)

To me it's wood, because without wood you can't build any buildings. I find it's important to have lots of villagers on wood.

The others are very important. (Stone, not so much, unless you want to build walls, guard towers, fortresses, and more TC's. I guess you need stone once you reach age 3 for TC's)

That's my nooby opinion. Wood > all marginally.

im actually amazed at the poll results... wood to be the highest... i know its key but without food you dont have villagers. you set your villagers straight on food 0 seconds because its what gets you rolling, without it you dont need wood or any other resource, villagers first always and so food > all

Voted for stone of course.

Depends on how you interpret the question.

Gold is the most important resources as you're screwed if your enemy is able to gold lock you.

Food can at least be gathered with farms. You're still fruited but it's better than nothing.

Wood is probably the resource which you'll need most (especially early on) and that's why you should try to have the best stats for wood gathering.

I think the importance of a resource changes as time progresses in the game.

At the very start, the first minute of the game, most important resource is food for villagers.

Then wood becomes important as you age because you have to built houses, storehouses, military buildings.

Then gold becomes important as you train units and research upgrades.

After that, in age 3, we have stone for siege.

But I would say that wood is most important overall just because you have so many buildings to make. You always need to make houses and storehouses and if its a water map, then you need docks and ships which weigh heavy on wood.
So yeah, I voted for wood

has to be wood as most important most games dont last until late game so wood is most used to build and make units most of the time i have more guys on wood than the others.

Food. You can't create more than your starting villagers or most military units without it.
