Tips & Tricks

-Gather berries and fruits during summer and save longer lasting resources such as cured meat, dry fish and grain for winter.

-Avoid targetinh healthy adult animals when hunting in the early game, as they are hard to kill and might fight back.

-Use work areas in conjunction with resource limits to automate your settlement as much as possible.

-Do not expand too fast if you do not have the infrastructure to feed your people.

-Domestic animals need to be fed and given water in winter. Avoid having too many if you can not maintain them.

-In paleolithic hunter-gatherer socities, conflict was rare as the human populations were sparse. From the neolithic onward, though, you really need to be prepared for battle.
