Food sequencing and safe Boar lures
The opening food lesson links uninterrupted Villager production with careful handling of Sheep and Boars. Food collection is steadier when workers move together between nearby animals and boar hunts are brought within a safe response range.
Overview
The opening food lesson links uninterrupted Villager production with careful handling of Sheep and Boars. Food collection is steadier when workers move together between nearby animals and boar hunts are brought within a safe response range.
Plan and execution
Keep the Town Center creating Villagers while gathering from Sheep in a controlled sequence; avoid opening every carcass before workers can finish it. Place the Mill and Lumber Camp close to their resources to cut walking time. To lure a Boar, use one Villager to draw it toward the Town Center, then bring nearby workers in to finish the hunt; research Loom first if the route or timing makes the lure unsafe.
Risks and adaptation
A boar can kill an isolated Villager and excessive walking delays the whole economy. Do not force the lure when the animal is too far away or the workers cannot reach Town Center protection; use safe nearby food and keep the Town Center active instead.
