Its important to note that , many people play this game purely for its singleplayer and that the multiplayer has had a rocky start for a few these days. Perhaps what we saw in those stats there is more kills with trebuchets due to campaign missions , than double boar lures in dark age.

Another thing worth mentioning is screwing up your opponents boar lure with your scout. If you manage to make your scout last hit the boar, they get nothing. If you manage to block the luring villager, it will disrupt their lure and kill their villager. If you manage to take their boar, you can scout lure it from their base to yours. Pretty much no matter what you do to mess up their boar situation, it hurts them significantly.

Extra note on the goths, the extra carry weight for hunters makes the numbers work out so 7 hunters can carry a full boar, so even if you kill it off your town center decay won't be a problem, only the walk distance (in theory you could send 7 vils forward and lame your opponent, but that would be costly)

Another trick to this is when you're luring the boar or other animals. Hit the animal twice with the same villager and they will aggro all the way back to your base without stopping from losing aggro. You can then use the scout to block its path and it wont lose its aggro.

I object! The math at 17:45 is incomplete!! To lure your boar, you need to take a village off your 5-6 starting villagers. This reduces your mining speed for - let's say 30 seconds to by about 20%. If you factor that in, into the 0.41 gather rate - then it gets complicated. However, let's work wit the simple timings you provide for 8 villages at 17:35. 4 villagers should then be able to gather half that amount in the same time, right? So factoring in that one villager is missing for luring the boar for the assumed 30 seconds, we will need to reduce the base gather speed of 0.41 by: 0.41 * ((3 [villagers] / 4 [all villagers] * 2:41 [minutes]) + (1 [villagers] / 4 [all villagers] * 2:11 [minutes])) / 2:41 [minutes] = 0.41 [gatherrate] * 95% = 0.39 gatherrate per villager In case you have more villagers, it gets more efficient, like, for example for 8 villagers, you get an effective gather-rate of: 0.41 * 0.98 = 0.40 gatherrate Bottom line: Do not take your boar right at the beginning of the match, but a few minutes in --- Duh! ;-)
