Role, availability & values
Settlers hunt Walrus and gather Food from the carcass; the recorded data supports up to eight gatherers. The herd is finite and should not be confused with a naval unit or Livestock Pen animal. Its coastal placement can leave workers exposed to land or naval pressure.
Matchup & timing
Gather from nearby Walrus while the area is safe and locate another Food source before the carcass is depleted. Protect the hunting line from raids along the coast and avoid sending workers beyond the army’s reach.
Food yield and gathering conditions
The Walrus is a huntable animal in The Baltic Powers and provides 500 Food. Its profile lists 30 hit points, 2.0 speed, 18 line of sight and capacity for up to eight gatherers. Settlers hunt the animal on land, making it a substantial but finite Food source rather than a naval unit or a recurring fish resource. On an Arctic map, the large carcass can support several workers, but concentrating too many Settlers in one spot can expose the food line to a raid. Clear nearby guardians or threats first, keep the hunt within reach of a defensive force, and move workers when the carcass is exhausted.
Arctic food source
Walruses are associated with the Arctic environment introduced in The Baltic Powers. Their 500-Food carcass can sustain a concentrated group of up to eight gatherers, but the resource is finite and the workers need protection while hunting. Locate the next safe Food source before the herd is exhausted, then move the workers rather than leaving them idle at an empty carcass.
