The meat farm is a collection of food production buildings.

Description[]

The meat farm is a processing facility, where deer and other wild animals are taken and dismembered for their meat. The processed meat is then taken to the granary.

Information[]

The hunter at this building ventures out and hunts animals for their meat. He uses a bow to kill venison and then takes their processed meat to the granary. One hunter brings 6 units of meat with one delivery.

Hunting can be a reliable source of food, but its effectiveness heavily depends on the distance and number of deer herds. Using numerous hunters can lead to over-hunting and eventually removing all deer from the map. Some maps contain no deer and therefore hunter posts cannot be built, although meat is still available in the market.

Deer carcasses will remain in their place for a prolonged period of time. However, they will eventually disappear, as sometimes the hunter will be very slow to reach his target due to terrain and long distance.

Trivia[]

  • Hunters are among the few workers that can actually defend themselves. They fight with their pocket knife in melee combat and are more resilient than most peasants.

The hunter's post houses a hunter, who hunts deer and rabbits for their meat. After venturing out and having taken the carcass back to the hut, the meat is processed and then taken to the granary.

If there are no available animals in the vicinity, pheasants will spawn very close to the post. There the hunter shoots the birds down, which are immediately taken by the dog to the granary.

Animals yield different amounts of meat: a single pheasant is worth 1 piece, while a deer can be worth as much as 25 pieces.

Hunting posts are a very effective method to acquire food as they are the smallest food production building (being 2x3) and food comes in on a non-stop basis, with the only determining factor being how far the post is from the granary. However, as most meat is stocked in low quantity, many posts are required to maintain meat levels.

Trivia[]

  • The hunter uses a pocket knife for self-defense. He can also use his bow for attacking bears, however their meat is not used for consumption.

The meat farm comes in two forms:

  • chicken farm (available for Good, Evil)
  • seal holes (available for Ice)

Chicken farms are fenced coops that hold chickens, while seal holes are big openings carved into the ice where seals can be caught. Both buildings yield the same food output, albeit seal holes cost a little more to build.

Meat farms come in two variants: sheep farms for Arabic players, and pig farms for Crusader players. The two buildings vary only in style, otherwise they function identically.

Farms hold livestock that must be brought up to a steady supply before the building is operational. These animals tend to wander around the neighbourhood, but they return on the farmer's calling, after which they are culled for their meat.
