People exaggerate the rng aspect on nomad. Ofc u need to find some food but you can still win even when you find 0 boar or sheep. I played one nomad 1v1 and noticed there were more boar but less sheep on the map. Maybe because i had a version with llamas.
issue is not food. I too find the spread of wild boar, deer, berries, and sheep better than we had before. but issue is gold & stone (mostly gold) in my opinion.
It is very common to see one part of the map completely lacking golds, the other side would have a few piles. the total number of gold piles on the map is just too low. Even if you have a gold, it can be a 3/4 tile gold pile which wouldnt last till late castle age.
Ofcourse, these situations did occur in the past, but now it got much worse with the very sparse gold generation on nomad maps..
