Food, Food, Food
Keeping up with prior advice to stock up before winter comes, you’re going to need to get a lot of food ready. Basically the only two sources of food you will be able to get through the winter are from coops, hunters, or fishermen. The summer is the time to stock up on all of the fruits and vegetables from orchards, fields, and gatherers. It’s very smart, therefore, to have at least one worker in each of these buildings. So, yes, you need to build the food buildings quickly. For the first year, I like to start with one Fisherman’s Lodge, one Hunting Cabin, and one Gatherer’s Hut. Every free laborer gets distributed among these, and you’ll find your stockpile will be full enough to survive the winter in no time. Of course, as more laborers become available to you, and your village grows, it’s smart to also expand into the fields, orchards, and coops.
