Assigning Settlers to Fd crates right at the start

Just incase there's anyone who didn't realise this, if you leave your settlers alone right at the start of the game they always go straight for the food crates.

I always used to assign them. These days I don't bother.

Unless your Dutch or India in which they go to Coin and Wood accordingly, and also Ottos, I think they go wood first? or i could be wrong i usually task them on wood first.

In vanilla, you still need to micro them to the food crates. I guess they changed that starting in TWC.

Micro them to different food crates, because they sometimes run into each other. Playing Russia its important to send your settlers to 3 different food crates. So your vills don't have to walk from crate 2 to crate 3 and you can queue your first bunch of vills a little bit earlier.

^Yeah, that's the only microing I do.

always micro at start def if you're russia (1 on each crate), it will save u some age up time and the first vil will be queued around 7-8 secs
with aztecs i put 4 on food crates (2 different) and 1 on wood so I can build the firepit asap and get my first shipment faster

always micro them, and pop them through tc of course if the walking way would be too long and oyu can decrease it

+1

Usually I just task 2 villagers on a hunt already, put two on the nearest food crate and put two in the TC, put gather point on a far away food crate, then press N like twenty times lol. The lag at the start of the game also gives you the time to send you scout away.

No kidding. If you just let your settlers do there own thing... oh my wow! Just a bad use of crucial early villager seconds!
