I don't know how far along you are in your village but you never mentioned. So buildings you want to do in order.
Barracks
Smithy
Stable Rush scouts (should have scouts day one or at least day 2)
workshop (For ram fakes and building wall breaking rams for attack cata for defense)
Push your recourses to at least lvl 15 each Iron mine can be one or two levels below
Next is academy I personally wouldnt start the noble process until you have a decent army and at least lvl 20~25 resources. Them coins is expensive.
After that just try to control your points and only make upgrades that make sense or give an extra stat(For example dont rush market to level 20 it's just useless points and makes enemies want your village more.). Train troops, farm as much as you possibly can (maybe even spear spike your barb villages when offline) and for the most part as a rule, if you are a defensive player I'd do 2(D)-1(A) in defense per village, and if you like to attack I'd do 2(A)-1(D) for attack per village.
Sorry if I sound kinda basic but I didn't know how far along you are. But I have 13 years experience and always get at least 20~30 villages before I move on to the next world. (Purely for simplicity, my brain hurts after about 20 villages.)
