Trading posts and even bridges can reduce the food output, a crowded river can reduce a 2000lb fishing dock to producing less than 300lbs even with 4 workers.Īt this point you should be running low on tools, clothing, and firewood. Make sure not too build any overlapping fishing docks or anything else in the fishing docks radius. This generates atleast 2000 lbs of fish per year.

Next build a fishing dock, (Note: if your playing on easy and youve started with animals build a small pasture right away, you wont get much food at first but otherwise wait until you can trade.) When building a fishing dock pick a chunk of river with the most water in the radius build a storage barn and two houses right next to the fishing dock, and make sure its not too far from the town center. You should be able to generate about 4000 lbs of food 400 logs and enough herbs and leather for a few hundred people. And make sure there is little or no rivers and/or mountains in the outpost radius as every little square counts. Then build 7 houses encircling a 8x8 storage area, have the houses on the side of the outpost that's closest to your town and place a storage barn on the corner, of this housing circle closest to town (this will save your vendors some walking distance). Pick a piece of the map where you dont want to develop right away and build all 4 buildings right next to eachother make sure the radius of each is nowhere near your town, but not so far away that the workers can't walk back into town easily. I love this game I've built so many towns I thought I'd share some tips and tricks I've learnedįirst dont underestimate gatherer's huts and hunting cabins, when you first start the game you should build a gatherer's hut/hunting cabin/herbalist/forester outpost.
