Strategic Analysis
The Lumber Camp is crucial for efficient wood gathering. Wood is needed for almost everything, making Lumber Camps one of the most important economic buildings.
- Placement Distance: Place Lumber Camps 2 tiles from the treeline. This allows villagers to deposit quickly and immediately find new trees.
- Multiple Camps: Build new Lumber Camps as the treeline recedes. Villagers walking long distances waste significant gathering time.
- Upgrade Priority: Double-Bit Axe (+20% speed) should be researched immediately in Feudal Age. It pays for itself quickly.
Warning: Long walking distances kill your wood economy. Relocate Lumber Camps frequently as you cut through forests.
