Now it is exploring time.
Try and send out explorers as often as you can and continue to try and build 4 town centers each time.
You can explore for some mountains if you want to increase toolmakers as it makes it easier to manage on the finances this early on in the game.
All forest explored initially will go towards hunters. However, you will need to add in some additional woodcutters as you start sending more explorers and your population increase.
On the status screen try and keep at least +400 in wood so u can build 4 town centers each time.. you might need to buy occasional wood.
Remember to have plains for town centers, but you will also need some for housing so send a small batch of explorers - 60 or so to look for plains.
In year 1005 you can consider starting to mage.. doing at least 100 tools research before any other research is undertaken.
