Hunt

Hunting is a way to increase the food stockpile in Age of Empires. There are a variety of animals to hunt including Boar, Deer, and other wild animals. To hunt you can select any villager and order him to attack. After his prey is killed, he will go over and start collecting food. Food quantity depends on the animal. For example, if you attack a boar you recieve 200 food versus 100 food for the sheep.
