Role & recorded profile
The Gazelle has 30 hit points, speed 2 and line of sight 18. A herd may be found near other wildlife or at a distance from the Town Center. The resource is finite, so workers need another Food source after the carcass is exhausted. Scout the surrounding area before assigning a large group to a distant hunt.

How the unit or object works
Use a nearby herd to support early Villager and military production while the location is safe. Herd the animal toward a protected gathering area when possible, and keep workers covered if the hunt is exposed. Find replacement Food before the Gazelles run out so production does not stop during the transition.
Worker allocation and food transition
A Gazelle’s 400 Food can sustain an opening, but it is a one-time resource. Up to eight Settlers can gather from one animal; assigning more does not increase that cap. Spread workers across nearby carcasses if the herd allows, and monitor the stock so they can move before the site is empty. A distant hunt can be worth securing, but only if the army can protect the route and other resource gathering remains active.
