Howdy, Chiefs and Chieftainesses!
As per our latest update and the beautiful road of the last 6 months, our dev team is busy tweaking and bettering the second era of the game. Centred all around farming, cultivating the land and having animals of your very own to look after – oh yes, that chicken coop will definitely come in handy!
In the meantime, for all those getting into the game and those doing migration, let’s have a look at what made up the palaeolithic diet the way it was. Not just gathering but when the Gods aligned their divine wills: hunting!
🏹 Hunting tactics 🏹
🤫 Stalking
This tactic is all about silently following your prey and remaining in the shadows before the perfect moment to strike happens. Best to use against slow-moving animals and definitely worthwhile to lock your target once you have to burst from your crouched position.
⚔️ Pushing, flushing and driving
Best to implement as a group tactic with your fellow tribe people as it relies on moving the target or herd towards a predestined location, hopefully one that enables you to deal with the prey immediately. That includes driving animals towards cliffs, awaiting tribe members at the ready with their weapons, or using the terrains to your advantage, whether valleys or open grassy areas that make aiming your javelins easier and more reliable.

🎯 Stand or blind hunting
One of the tactics that persevered over the ages, relying on stillness and tricking animals into thinking you are a natural part of their environment because of the lack of movement, camouflage, and more! A lot of today’s hunters rely on this method and the booths are iconic parts of the landscape on the outskirts of forests.
🍓 Baiting
Using meat, berries or any other delicacies in order to lure animals. In our game, it’s possible to use this technique in order to domesticate a friendly and loyal friend to aid your hunts – check out our future updates for further details!

🏃 Persistence, exhaustion or long distance hunting
The old and tried method of tiring down animals and relying that just because we can hardly catch our breath and our stamina runs low, theirs will deplete over time as well! It is speculated that this particular method allowed our ancestors to survive and evolve over time to build the advantage over our prey.
You may be pleasantly surprised that our ancestors used the terrains just as much to their advantage as you, players of the game, can do! Some of the strategies survive throughout the eons and hundreds of years, having evolved into the style known by modern hunters across America, Europe, and beyond.
