If this occurs, have the scout go to where the sheep is. Occasionally, one of the sheep may already be visible in the fog. Finding the 4 initial sheep is critical in the Dark Age - the earlier they are sighted, the better. Select your scout and scout around what is currently visible to you.Once the two houses are completed, have the two villagers build a lumber camp near a forest (your scout should have already found at least one by now). Do not have one villager build one house each - both villagers build one house at a time in order to keep the steady flow of villager creation. This will temporarily increase the population to 15, allowing more villagers to be created. This pattern is perhaps the most important hotkey pattern in the game. Thus, the fastest way to do this is to press H and then press shift-C. The default hotkeys are H for town center and C to create a villager (only after selecting the town center). Immediately create 4 villagers from the town center, depleting all 200 food.When the game begins, there are a few steps that must be done in very quick succession:
