Lets get a saver source of food this turn, it is only the first month of the winter so the bear should sleep for a few more.

And what's the maus for the trapping roll? Does it get a boost by being made by the Great hunter?
Total malus is -50 from winter and weather and yes, Snow-Fox bonus applies, though it's a lot lower outside combat.

You get +20 from Great Hunter and another +10 from the Winter focus.

Wait, in that case @Artemis1992 is right.

Also, come to think of it, if the Snow Demons are desperate enough they might attempt a raid on our camp to get food (b/c they're going to die anyways, may as well go out with a bang) so having the hunters home this turn would be better.

One month of hunger will weaken/kill enough Snow Demons to make hunting next month even safer.

Changing my vote, even with snow foxes bonus to the hunt that winter debuff is too big for me to risk it when we probably have a war around the corner. Get the better snow gear and see if we can't reduce that malus for future actions.
 
Seeing that the overall malus is just 20, I'm changing my vote. Next month we will get the income from trapping. If we delay this, it will be a turn lost. We can do the winter equipment and the great beast hunt next turn with no overall loss.

@Azel, since this is the Ice Age, how many months of winter are we looking at here?
If this was still an ice age, your valley would be mostly filled by a big glacier.

It's three months of actual winter, though penalties for large amounts of snow will persist into spring if it gets bad enough. Another month of snowstorms and you are likely getting two months worth of weather penalties in spring.

Okay. In that case the bear will be very much asleep next month, and even weaker too!

Might as well make Winter as a whole easier on us.

Curious. I've expected a much stronger negative reaction to you guys getting Ruthlessness.
 
Yeah, I personally feel like Ruthless is a bit worrying, even if our victims deserved it.

@Azel, what's the comparison of our winter gear vs the winter gear of the enemy tribe?
Yours is barely adequate, favouring mobility over protection as your tribe never needed to deal with long periods of snowfall and thick snow cover on the ground. Biggest problem is your stitches, which can widen easily while moving and then let in the cold and snow. Hence many if your hunters wearing additional pelts over their clothes, which cancels out the hypothetical mobility advantage while still offering lacklustre protection.

As for snow shoes, you got nothing. The first days were pretty bad, since your footwear couldn't even deal with more then ankle deep snow before the tribe made some hasty alterations to them.

So yeah. Your winter gear kinda sucks right now.

Well, I had no idea it was that bad. We definitely need to study their gear in hopes of improving our own.
