    • To build a Market, you need 58 logs, 62 stones, 40 irons, and 100 worth of labor.

  1. At this point, you must built a Hospital for your people as soon as you can; nomads may carry diseases from other part of the world and these diseases may spread and cause death to your citizens. If you have herbalist, the herbs they have gathered will be more effective.

    • You can only assign 1 physician.
    • If you have huge population, it's advisable that build more hospital.
  2. Since Nomads are uneducated upon entering your town, they will be dragging your educated citizens down, making the production low and slow. Also, adding nomad in your town means that the food reservation will be lowered due to the fact that you have more adults now.
    • To avoid starvation, build more farms and assign the nomads to work as farmer. Make sure to fill in all the vacant job to get the fastest and best production of crops.
    • If nomads have children, you don't have to worry about them. Children will attend the school like everybody else.
  3. If you still have jobless nomads at this point, build a fishing dock and assign them to catch fish. Citizens working in fishing docks, unlike farmers, won't stop catching for food even during winter season.
    • To build a Fishing Dock, you need 30 logs, 16 stones and 45 worth of labor.
    • Compared to Trading Post, you can build fishing dock in a close body of water. Though, as year passes, fish may become instinct.
    • Educated workers are preferred to work as builders, woodcutter and gatherer since they produce more, compared to uneducated citizens.
