Dead animals in AoE deteriorate with time. Therefore, efficient hunting requires that hunter walking time be minimized, and multiple hunters need to work on each animal. Sheep cooperate with the mission, but wild animals do not. Deer will run away from humans, which they really should. But you want to kill the deer close to a depot, so you need to start the hunt by herding the deer towards the depot with your beaters. It is quite realistic, actually. Furthermore, you need to keep an eye on the hunters, because once a carcass is depleted, you need to start the beating all over again with the next deer. If you do not micromanage the hunters properly, you will wind up with a lot of rotting deer carcasses in random locations. Because of the large amount of micromanagement required, hunting is generally not worth the trouble. | Dead animals in AoE deteriorate with time.

Wild Boar are quite dangerous. Do not hunt them unless you have Loom. Make sure to use a minimum of 5-7 hunters. Even so, the villager being hunted by the Boar needs a safe place to flee or a monk standing by, otherwise he or she will die. The use of Bait-and-Switch tactics are definitely appropriate. | Wild Boar are quite dangerous. Do not hunt them unless you have Loom. Make sure to use a minimum of 5-7 hunters.
