Research condition

When to research

Use the technology when the economy can safely accommodate 12 more Bison and needs a later Food reserve. The 175 Wood and 175 Coin are spent before the animals are gathered, so protect both the Cheyenne settlement and the livestock site. It is a weaker immediate defense than the same resources spent on units if the base is under attack.

Bison delivery from a Cheyenne settlement

Cheyenne Hunting Grounds is an Exploration Age technology researched at a Trading Post or Tambo on a Cheyenne settlement. It costs 175 Wood and 175 Coin, takes 10 seconds and delivers 12 Bison. The animals provide a food resource once placed and gathered.

Plan space and food gathering

The delivery adds livestock rather than an immediate crate of Food. Leave room to keep the Bison safe and assign gatherers when the economy needs Food. Secure the Cheyenne settlement and compare the Wood and Coin cost with other ways to support the food plan.
