One thing I did not mention, but should have: When hunting always use control groups to your advantage, so you can quickly switch between hunting and other tasks, such as exploring, assigning new villagers, etc.
Thanks for the info! Side note: I think you might have fudged your description here a bit. Also, out of curiosity: What is the take on the animals rotting once you've killed it? that it's "better to just kill all the deer when they're closer and lose some food to rot; than to take longer to gather all the food? Also, does rot still occur while hunters are gathering?
A) Kill all deer (actually gazelle) at once like he does in the vid. Otherwise some might run away and they're too hard to micromanage. Thus - let the deer rot, and if you're worried and have guys on berries - take a few and stick them on deer. B) You can lure the next Elephant near your TC or storage pit and kill it when you're ready. C) Does Rot still occur when gathering? Smart question, I don't know but possibly. You'd have to kill 2 deer at once, leaving one to rot while eating the other, then doing the math.
Thanks for pointing that out! I will change that. I always copy the stuff from previous videos. Pretty sure they still rot while taking food. But in general you should not worry about rotting. You should always kill everything at once, it's more important to have all the food in one place, than it is to kill every deer one by one, having to spend a lot more time micro management, which cost way too much time. The only time you should be concerned about this is when you are playing on a map without sea food and you can't find a lot of food. In that case you should still kill them all at once, but you might want to put more villagers on the deer, taking some foragers and using them to hunt instead.
Okay cool - thank you both! I was wondering - I've been using my foragers to harvest the gazelle while i create my lumberjacks, but I feel like this might be counter-intuitive? should i wait until after my woodcutters are created to hunt the gazelle?

A random note: If you controll grouped an artefact and it gets occupied by another player you lose this controll group as well^^
Very useful and very hilarious. Made me smile a couple of times, liked!

I would take 3 villagers and hunt all them down and drop a storage pit next to the herd
Nice videos I love age of empires 1!
Thanks!
Old vid I know but with the amount of time this takes to get them back to the tc is it worth it?
4:45 lmao
