I bought the game last weekend. Villagers had succumbed to famine or frozen to death. Took me a few tries to get the hang of it. Managed to stock pile so much food that i need another 2 more barns to stock pile them. My town is slowly growing, manage to build a town hall so i can get nomads in.

Questions though...how do you get cows so you can put them into the pasture for the herdsmen to take care of? There's eggs to buy from the merchants...so where do you get the chickens? Or sheeps to make wool?

I haven't even seen barley seeds being sold, so i can't plant barley seeds to make ale yet.
