Gathering Food and Resources
Running along the bottom left of the screen you will notice six shields.
| Castle Buildings |
Industry Buildings |
Farm Buildings |
Town Buildings |
Weapon Buildings |
Food Processing Buildings |
These are the building category buttons, which change the type of buildings displayed on the building selection scroll above them Moving your mouse pointer over these shields will highlight them and bring up a brief description of the button above the building selection scroll.
The most basic resource in the game is wood and is required in the construction of almost every building. Left clicking on the shield with the picture of a hammer will select the industry buildings category. When you place a woodcutter’s hut on the map an available peasant will turn into a woodcutter and get to work cutting down trees . A quick and easy way to gain food early on is by hunting deer by building hunter's huts found in the farm buildings category. Once the meat is prepared they will place it in your granary, swelling your food stocks. You should always be aiming to balance the rate at which you consume food with the rate at which it is being put into your granary.
Tip: If you can't work out the function of any of the icons in the game, move your mouse pointer over the icon and it's descriptions will appear.
