Hotkey your Scout to 1 as you send it off exploring, as you will be using it constantly for as long as it's alive. Once you have started building your Houses, send 2 Sheep under your Town Center, while using the other 2 Sheep to scout around your Town Center as illustrated, to help find essential resources faster. After queuing your Villagers, follow up by building House 1 with the two villagers closest together, being Vil 2 and 3, and then House 2 with Vil 1. This image illustrates a typical start, with two villagers close together and another villager further away. In my case, using HD Hotkeys I press A 4 times. The very first thing you want to do when starting a game, is to quickly queue 4 Villagers in your Town Center starting just before the Loading Screen goes away, for optimal time.
