[@Clerkius]

Excellent Choice!

[@SuperMoine777]

I'm not a very skilled player, but I used my own logic on this problematic. What I usually do is sending eight villagers hunting a deer, then when they finished it, I immediately send them hunting a second nearby one, so they don't do the trip with half of their pockets full. (140 food - 15 decayed food) * 2 deers = 250 food. It takes approximately one minute thirty to finish both deers and bring the meat back (in the case of a far away hunting spot), and like I said, I use eight villagers : 250 food / 8 villagers / 1.5 minutes = 20.83 food. Recalculating it with only seven villagers, I found out that the effeciency would go from 20.83 to 23,33 food, for only a slight loss of 5 decayed food and a bit more time (something like 10-15 seconds). Am I missing a point somewhere, or does my method works both mathematically and concretely well ? It comes with a slight micromanagement at the mid-end Dark Age/early Feudal Age, but it always looked worth it to me.

[@meneldal]

I think there are 2 issues with this: first increased bumping between villagers and second making it more critical to babysit them. But it's probably efficient in case you can handle these two things well.

I see Pro players hurting their dear over to their Mills or their town centres with their Scouts. I am a less skilled player, and I don't have the time or the patience to do that, and even if I did, my economy would suffer. It's really great to get the numbers on this, and to a firm that I wasn't bogarting on villagers when I went for deer with three for each deer. Thank you for letting me know, though, that I shouldn't waste my time on the last 10 or so food on a deer if I'm only going to put three villagers on it. I remember from your video on the gulf that too was too few villagers, and four was too many. Though I can now see how for can be useful, if I want more food. I'd rather have them on sheep, berry bushes, and Farms, though, since Those things don't have as many drawbacks as hunting.

[@HarbingerIV]

I have additional questions regarding this topic; When is it worth building a mill next to deer, contra letting 4 villagers walk from town-center / other mill. How many tiles / deers for it to be worth it. Remember it is possible to chase deer into town with scout. Should you build mill with 1 villager and hunt with three for first deer while mill is building, or should you build mill with all four and then hunt? One thing i like to do is to take 8-9 villagers and go kill a boar, and then build a mill near deer afterwards. is it most efficient to do it that way, or should i do it the other way around?

[@-Garaf-]

Taking deer to the TC is more efficient but it takes more micro and you lose scouting time which isn't easy to factor here. Walking from TC to deer would mean a lot a time villagers not working (just walking to and from the deer) so unless they are very very close, it's not worth it I think doing the 1 vill build mill and the other 3 hunt first deer is good Boar i prefer taking it to TC with 1 vill early on (not micro heavy as pushing deer) but if you haven't yet, yeah i think you could go with 8 for it, build the mill and hunt the deer nearby (i think Scandinavia has this situation more often) Well this is all just my opinion, but hope it helps

Using fishing ships in those small lakes. 2. walling towards their ally. 3. not walling (when to wall?) 4. not building markets in the corner or at the end of the map. 5. walking halfway across the map to cellect rescources. most of the times those are much closer to an ally. 6. forward castles. 7. walling on the wrong side of recourses most of the times relics. Maybe im stupid not using fishing ships or walling to early. Only you would know. Since you know evrything about the game and I love it. You've taught me so much

[@freefallintoflames]

If you have something like 3+ shore fish in a pond, fishing ships are worth it. Their collection rate isn't that great, but the fact that you can produce eco units out of two buildings instead of one makes it worth it. You can also put them on fish traps later and still have good collection rates if you're playing the expansions.

[@AndrewTheFrank]

Isn't deer hunting usually done in Dark Age or early Feudal? At this point you wont have wheelbarrow and you are probably looking to have food/min to tech up asap. This gets into what The Viper always tends to do. Send 2 villagers to kill deer, as they drop off food he re-tasks them to build a camp or farm. When you don't have villagers or resources to spare, you wont be building a second mill by the deer, and if you want to build a camp, mill, farm or barracks soon after hunting that 3rd or 4th villager could have been collecting resources (such as wood) during that hunt time. That is to say that once the boars are gone you should be getting food from sheep, berries and deer while you are trying to build up wood for your first farms.

[@jacob933]

I thought u were suppose to hunt it with 6, I often mill the berries, then go and pull a boar to the berry mill, take the boar, then go to the deer with the boar vills, then go to berries(if deer are not near berries, I will mill the deer versus the berries first). The villagers doing the boar/deer have less time often going back to berries or another resource then if u had to build 2 mills(i.e, berries and deer). If the difference is such little food(i.e 1-2 food a minute difference, the idle time of villagers walking back from a mill on deer more then compensates if u just use the same 6 for boar/deer/berries.

[@freefallintoflames]

Pulling a boar to the mill is not a good idea, it's much more efficient under the TC because villagers can drop off food without bumping. It's also easier to have more on the boar that way.

[@Ayakinim]

In dark age you need minimum idle time and consistent food stream to sustain villager production and race to hit the feudal button. That's why you need to lure the boar to the tc. If you have a basic economy already established, then you're absolutely correct on all points.

@Spirit of the Law I have a doubt I remember you explain about "Lanchester's Laws". Will a base unit let's call it "X" be better if the X has it's attack and hit points be doubled be better than 2 X (Base unit)? My question is based on a Homecity card from AOE3 that makes Chinese chu ko nu and spearman have 100% Hitpoints and Attack but makes the unit cost double as well. How does this card work?

[@Ayakinim]

Lanchester's Law doesn't explain this scenario. You have to use salvo theory. But yes, one unit with dbl stats is better than 2 with half stats because it won't die mid-fight. With 2 units, one of them will die and when this happens, your total atk stat is halved.

[@Thomas-dd8xs]

I appreciate your effort and hold this video very deer to me.

[@JSTM2000]

I think 2 total villagers might be the best for a lazy person like me as they can never form groups of 3 even if they decide to split across different deer. No bumping, no need for micro, just forget about them and their gathering rates are almost identical when compared to a group of 3 but you can have that extra villager do something else. It would've been interesting to see more stats about 2 gatherers but I get it that it's not the most competitive strategy. Especially after Wheelbarrow, 3 has to be the best even for this lazy strategy.

[@tommyhakansson5066]

Would be fun to see you play some more games😊

[@hbarudi]

When I put several groups of 4 villagers per deer and go back to find out unequal numbers of villagers and so many slaughtered deer decaying away or even the ai player walking across half of the map for hunting to put the food back in their distant town center or mill...

[@MegaFarinato]

But the real question is... whats the point of carrying meat to a mill? meat bread?

[@Pengon88]

I would also argue that, if you have 4 villagers before wheelbarrow, you could put 4 into a deer and get between 15 and 25 more food than 3, or put 3 on the deer and the last onto a farm, in which it can collect this New food with similar efficiency to 4 villagers, and while providing more food in the long run

[@Ayakinim]

The fourth vill contributes more food and faster food than a farm and also doesn't need wood to build the farm.

[@ramiel7666]

Is it a viable strategy to destroy forests around your enemies, so they run out of wood?

[@Weldedhodag]

the only time I use more than 4 villagers on a deer is if I'm on black forest and planning on using 3 berry villagers plus the deer hunters to collect a sounder of boar later on and I run out of berries before deer, which usually only happens if I manage to lame some sheep.

[@hemogoblin3076]

You are the best kind of nerd sir!

[@agreeable_frog]

Answer 4 : you max your population with villagers and send all of them

[@pete26196]

What about with no walking distance? It's very common to see deer pushed under TC's to maximise efficiency, and with no walk time I'd be interested to know how that changes things. As an extension from this, deer are usually pushed at a point when you are taking sheep / boar and need to take villagers away from this to collect from the deer - sometimes as few as 6 vills, sometimes 10+ on food. Since you want to minimise decay by finishing an animal asap is more villagers overall more efficient here?

[@Ayakinim]

Yes. Since it's already under the TC anyway, you don't have any problem with efficiency and can saturate it with vills. If you want to minimize decay then put all your vills on the thingy that will finish gathering faster (usually the sheep, unless your boar has some food left). If you want to maximize gathering speed, then put as many vills as you can on the boar/deer because they gather faster and let the sheep rot.
