The Herd is the Word

In the Redwood Forests, I discovered a flock of Ovis under the threat of annihilation by a determined Thylacoleo. I wasn’t about to let this tree-climbing predator turn the party of five into a mutton buffet, so I decided to save them from impending doom. Four of them survived the ordeal, while the lowest-leveled runt wasn’t so lucky. That feline sprung at it first, and lacking any ranged defense, I went all berserker at the tree-lion.

It was an honorable sacrifice. Still, the majority of the flock survived, and after a quick domestication with the Veggie Cakes I stockpiled, I shepherded them back to the Weathertop with the rest of my tamed brothers and sisters. Rest assured, I now have enough Ovis to start breeding towards a productive wool factory for the Cluster. This can, in turn create a fledgling economy across multiple servers that can lead to the tide that rises all ships.

But wool is just one commodity among the vast others that survivors need. If you need munitions to keep the peace, you need metal. And there’s just one dino effective enough to mine it. But, that is a story for another day…
