Thankfully, managing your economy is not the micro-management nightmare that you often find in RTS games. Granted, there are a ridiculous amount of things that you can harvest and some can only be harvested by certain races. The full list is: wood, stone, iron, food, moonsilver, aria, and lenya. However, your peons for the most part are set-and-forget. After harvesting some wood, for instance, you can build a woodcutter's hut. Click on the hut and you will be able to assign up to five idle workers to it. Those workers then become lumberjacks. That's all pretty standard, but the nice thing about the SpellForce system is that if a lumber jack runs out of wood in his vicinity, he'll resume cutting once some trees grow back instead of waiting for you to tell him to chop wood again.
