The first object that you should build is the Storage Barn - that's where you'll keep your supplies. Place a stock pile right next to it - you'll keep logs, stone and firewood there .
Then you should build some wooden houses as close to the storage barn as possible - remember that you can always upgrade them to stone houses.
Next, you should build a gatherer's hut near a forest and make as many people as possible work there - forest is a source of large amounts of various food.
Now take care of production of resources - build a forester lodge. Remember to make some workers cut down trees and collect stone from sources on the ground. Try to build a woodcutter's building to make some firewood.
Then you should make more sources of food - to do it, build a hunting cabin. Pay attention to the number of workers in each building. If you don't have resources, keep exploiting the lodes on the ground.
Now it's time to build a blacksmith hut - it will let you create your first tools which will improve the process of collecting resources. In the meantime you can also build a fishing dock and some more houses to increase the population.
The next thing you should do is building a tailor hut, that will provide the citizens with coats that will protect them from cold. It's also a good moment to set up crop fields and start using them. Then build enough houses and provide access to stone and iron by building a quarry and a mine. Don't forget to build food production object and adjust production limits.
