With a population of 48 people I had 26 people focused on gathering food (54 percent of the population) and I still had a low food reserves alert and by year 38 my village suffered from mass starvation and the game was over.

If you choose to play straight vanilla you will need at least 45 percent of your population focused on food collection or production with low populations. There are several mistakes to be made early game, but not having enough of your population focused on food production is the most fatal. Straight vanilla is beyond difficult on food production. Even with all the deaths, my food supply never recovered РІР‚вЂњ in part because the vanilla food system is incredibly difficult to maintain. My second village grew so fast that I lost 13 people to starvation in the second winter. I learned to keep my population to be bare minimum until I had at least 1000 meat in storage. The second, and arguably most important, tip: go slow. Personally I felt like it was slow and tedious, but it was helpful in pointing out that food and firewood were going to be needed immediately. It was really helpful in picking up the key gaming mechanics. The first tip that should be followed is: play the tutorial. I am currently on my eleventh village with 46 hours of game time and I have made several mistakes.

I had a steeper learning curve with Village Forest than I expected given that there was tutorial. If you are only interested in my review you can scroll down to the end of the page. The concept of Village Forest is perfect for me because it is the city builder without the conquest, which is all I ever wanted. (It is unimaginable now to think there was a time I wasnРІР‚в„ўt connected to the internet in one way or another, but the late 90s and early 00s were a different time.) Living in near to complete poverty as we were, we could not afford any sort of video games on our computer but that didnРІР‚в„ўt stop one of my brothers from downloading the Age of Empires demo, of which we played repeatedly for a couple of years. The later, more stable part of my childhood allowed me to have a computer and Internet. I am a sucker for city builder games, even though I donРІР‚в„ўt believe that I am very good at them. This time around I played Life is Feudal: Village Forest Well, 2019 is here, so move over unplayed game library. I have never taken the time to play them, but I got them.
