5 mistakes that can cost you your energy

I just joined Wolf Globe. No experience. Didn't watch tutorials. I thought I was smart. I lost all my free starter energy in 48 hours. Here is what I did wrong so you don't.

MISTAKE 1: I BUILT MY FIRST DEN NEXT TO TOWN
I was scared of wilderness so I built right next to town and road. Worst idea.

Your den has a 15km circle around it. Inside you get 150% nose boost. But if your circle touches town, high level wolves live there. They have Bloodlust. They can bite you for 2 energy and then for 24 hours anyone can kill you. To take their house back you need 50 energy. You start with 30.

Fix: Open satellite map. Find town. Measure 17km away from ANY road or house. Why 17 not 15? Because other wolves also build 15km from town on other side. 17km gives you a 2km buffer. No fights. At Level 1 you cannot fight. Avoid fights.

MISTAKE 2: I BUILT MY DEN ON TOP OF A HILL

I thought high = see everything. Wrong.

On hill top, wind blows your scent in all directions. Deer smell you from 1km away and run. Other wolves see you from far. And you burn extra energy running up and down.

Fix: Build at elevation 1600-1900m, but in a small valley or behind trees, 1km away from water. Not on the peak, not in the swamp. Middle ground. Deer come to drink, you hide in trees.

MISTAKE 3: I HUNTED IN RAIN
I saw rain and thought "deer still need water, let's go". I wasted 12 energy.

Rain cuts your smell by 50%. Even with den boost. Fog cuts your vision by 50%. At Level 1 your nose is already weak (0.6km). In rain it becomes 0.3km. You will walk for hours and find nothing.

Fix: Check weather top right. If it says Rain, Fog, or Strong Wind - DON'T HUNT. Go sleep in den. Sleeping saves energy and you regenerate 1 energy per hour. Wait for Clear weather. This alone saved me 80 energy per week.

MISTAKE 4: I TRIED TO CHASE 3 DEER AT ONCE

I smelled 3 deer, marked all 3, and ran between them. All 3 ran away. Lost 9 energy.

At Level 1 you have low stamina and low damage. You cannot kill 3. You can barely kill 1.

Fix: Only mark 1 deer at a time. The closest one. Check wind arrow bottom right. If wind blows FROM you TO deer, deer will smell you. Always go around and approach DOWNWIND. Wolf must stay downwind of deer so deer can't smell you. Kill one, eat, go back to den, repeat.

MISTAKE 5: I FOUGHT A WOLF STRONGER THAN ME

I saw a wolf in my circle. I bit him. I thought I was defending. I paid 2 energy to bite. He was Level 9. He came back with 3 friends. I lost my food, my den was camped, and I got Bloodlusted for 24h.

At Level 1 you have 30 energy. A Level 9 has 200+ and better teeth.

Fix: Don't bite any wolf in your first week. Even if they are in your 15km circle. Just move. Your den cannot be stolen, only your food. Let them take the deer. Save your energy to buy your first female wolf (60 energy). A female helps you hunt and you get pups. That's how you grow, not by fighting.

Your den is not just a house. It's your farm. Take 1 day to find a good spot.
