Got Food?

food

“Feed us! Feed us!” cry your famished villagers and military troops. “We need to eat!”

So what's a villager to do? It's not like there's a supermarket out there in the Middle Ages. Well, take a look around you; there are sheep, berry bushes, fish, and much more food just waiting to be gathered, picked, or hunted. Here's a list of all the food you'll find on the map and quick tips on how to gather each food type.

Sheep
Value: 100 food

Each villager can carry: 10 food

Quick Tip:

You can usually find 4 sheep near your town center. Get your scout to find the sheep and herd them back to your town center. Send your scout around the map to find other roaming sheep. Once you've found additional sheep, move the sheep to open up various parts of the map. But be careful! Your opponents can steal your sheep.

Berry Bushes
Value: 125 food per bush

Each villager can carry: 10 food

Quick Tip:
Build a mill close to your berry bush. This saves lots of time for your village to stockpile berries.

Boar
Value: 300 food

Each villager can carry: 35 food

Quick Tip:

The boar is tough to kill. You need at least 5 villagers to successfully hunt a boar without losing a villager. If you have the time, try to lead a boar back to your town center and then hunt it there.

Deer
Value: 125 food

Each villager can carry: 35 food

Quick Tip:

Deer are very easy to hunt down. It only takes one villager. But deer can leap pretty quickly when being hunted and this may lengthen the distance between the deer and your town center.

Farms
Value: 375 food without upgrades

Each villager can carry: 21 food

Quick Tip:

Build your farms close to your town center and mill. In the mill, the farming upgrades (horse collar, heavy plow, and crop rotation) can increase food production.

Wolves
Value: 0 food

Quick Tip:

Stay away from the wolves if you can! Wolves will attack you and chase you down until they've hurt you. And if you send a villager out to scout around, make sure you send villagers in pairs! Two villagers can kill a wolf, although one might not make it.

Types of Fish
Here is a list of the types of fish you'll find in the lakes, rivers, and oceans. A quick tip for fishing is when you're in the Feudal Age, build fishing traps. Fishing traps collect 15 fish each time, the same as regular fishing ships with nets, but the main difference is the fish in the water will more than double when you use traps. And remember, only one fishing boat to a trap. If you send two fishing boats to one trap, one of your boats will just be sitting there in the water gathering nothing.

Dorado
Value: 225

Marlin
Value: 350

Perch
Value: 200

Shore Fish
Value: 200

Snapper
Value: 225

Tuna
Value: 225
