Overview

A Villager can draw a wild Boar toward the Town Center or another group of workers, where several Villagers can gather its food quickly. The lure must be timed carefully because the Boar can injure or kill the worker leading it.

How this system affects decisions

Economic systems are shaped by worker travel, access to safe resource sites, and the time spent gathering versus building or moving. Compare a change by how many workers it affects and how long it remains useful, then balance it against the food, wood, gold, and population required to keep the army active.
