How the hell do you get people to hunt?

[ignocts]

I recently bought this game with the summer sale and I noticed that you can hunt. Now I made a pack of hunters (about 6) and a hunting shack and clicked the hunting shack which a handy website told me to do. I clicked work... they wouldn't work. There was a pack of deers (again about 6) so why not kill them. I tried and failed please tell me what to do. Thank you !

When you build a building, it is work ready. I suspect, just suspect mind. When you clicked work, you shut it down. It should look grey with white words. Also, do not put 6 workers on a Hunter's lodge. At max you need 3, it cannot produce enough for 6 workers.

Ignore the deer, they have no bearing on hunter's lodge. When you read people say you have to place them near deer, ignore them. They are 100% wrong. You can place that hunter anywhere you want, no need even for forest.

FYI, when I say anywhere, you still want a clear area with no buildings.

I enjoyed watching the hunters hunt in games like Stronghold, but unfortunately, there isn't much visible detail like this for the hunters in this game. I consider it a build-it and forget-it building.

However, other than clicking off the work, which you may have accidentally done, you just need to assign the hunters, and they will get busy hunting and skinning the deer.

I have found, I should say, it seems to me. I place more than 1 hunters building. I will turn one off and one on, when I dont see any more deer in the area of the one working I will turn it off and turn the other on, seems to work better that way at least for me.

Well I place my hunter hood just in a empty space (cuted all trees, stones & iron in the area) and it produces about 1k meat a year and about 25 leather. It also works in areas where no deer is visible, I think the deers are just something like decoration.
It works perfect in areas without deers too! It's just have to be far enough from your citizens houses. (in my case, there are no other buildings inside the hunter's area. Oh wait... yes there is a orchard inside the hunter's area. But it still works fine.)

You never click work. It's like reverse psychology. LOL
