At the moment, each house can accommodate two citizens. You will need citizens to help build your empire as they will be in charge of hunting and gathering of Food and other precious goods. Your citizens will also be in charge of mining Gold from the mines, clearing forests once you are ready to expand your territory, and also upgrading all your structures and resource buildings. Therefore, it is best to have a lot of citizens available to carry out your command and help your city grow.
With the presence of citizens, one of the first things that your citizens will be able to do is to begin gathering Food. In order to put together some food, people have the option to hunt animals like deers, stags, and even boars. Aside from hunting animals, your citizens can also gather food by harvesting fruit trees. Fruit trees may not be available in the area, so to have fruit trees to harvest, you may purchase them from the store.
As soon as you have some working citizens available, they may be able to clear forests in the area. Clearing forests reveals a lot of surprises. At times your citizens may find Gold mines, more animals to hunt, more fruits to harvest, and even a couple of barbarians you may hire to protect your tribe. Clearing forests also allows players to have a larger area of land to work with and more space to build more structures and buildings.
