Egypt Campaign #2: Foraging

Screenshot
These villagers are part of the way home already, since they've built a dock

Goals: This scenario requires you to build a storage pit, granary, and dock.

The Skinny: You will have to forage for food and chop wood to complete this scenario. Most players will want to build new villagers and a house, as well, to speed up the process.

You start with three villagers. Send two villagers to forage the berry bushes just to the east of the town center. When the bushes are gone, cross the river at the shallows to forage more berry bushes on the other side. Use the third villager to chop trees.

Build more villagers to gather more berries and chop wood. Build a granary near the berries. The villagers will then deposit their forage in the granary, shortening their trip. Build a storage pit near the trees. The villagers will deposit their wood in the storage pit, also shortening their trip.

Build houses as needed. After the granary and storage pit are built, construct a dock in the river. When it is complete, you win.

Dangers: Wild predators are the only danger in this scenario.
