GAME RULES
General Rules
Scale Time: Scale the game time to real-world time.
Choose one real minute = 10 game minutes, one real
minute = 20 game minutes, etc.
Difficulty: Set the game difficulty level here. Pick one of
the following options:
• Easy: Animals are less aware of human presence and
they frequently react to attractants. The hunter will bag average-scoring animals most of
the time.
Post-rut (early winter): Deer rejoin their groups and spend their time eating and storing fat for
the coming winter months. During the post-rut, laying food can be an effective technique.
Download Custom Maps
