Spear troopers are your basic grunt troop. They are relativly fast, and have the best cavalry defence of an infantry unit.
Swordsmen are good offensive troops, but lack haul capacity and so, are bad for farming.
Axemen are capable of EXTREME attack for an infantry unit, and are able to destroy most standard infantry. They are however weak in the face of cavalry...soeaking of which, I'll talk about that tommorow!

when you start your first priority is to get your village headquarters up to level three if it isn't already. then build a barracks then build a wall. Upgrade your wall to about level 7 while recruiting spear fighters with left over resourses then continue to upgrade your resourse spots (clay pit, timber camp, iron mine)to level 10 each. Now you should use your spear fighters to send to near by barbarian villages with lower points than you you should send about 50 each time. now build your village H.Q to level 5 and build a smithy. now build swordsmen and spears with left over resourses. You should build your village H.Q to level 10, smithy level 5 and barracks level 5 and build a stable continue to get requirements for light cavelry as fast as possible.
right now your village should be looking like this:
village H.Q: level 10
Barracks: level 5
stable: level 3
smithy: leve 5
timber camp: 10
iron mine: 10
clay pit: 10
farm: (upgrade when necessary)
ware house (upgrade as necessary)
hiding place: 1
wall: 7
now just continue working on res. spots until they are level 30 and build troops until you have a full farm at level 28 you should have about
3000 swords
1000 spears
5000 axe
1500 light cavelry
500 scouts
and if you don't have full farm build more light cavelry and axes then get requerments for academy and noble a village near you repeat prosess.
