Dotage

• Early on, especially during the tutorially bit, be careful of investing in making a resource you can't directly use. Especially when buildings need a profession (which will need you to have tools). You can poke and right click around the Agepedia if you want to be sure.
  • For instance : Herding chickens, requires other building to make use of them while needing seeds to keep them alive. Wild chickens feed themselves and respawn except in winter. Hunt before you herd.

• Planting Tomatoes is great early. Planting Barley, not so much.

• Cooking is a big food multiplier.
