Some notes:
Thieves are a pain in the ass, supposedly a certain random event lets you get rid of them but I haven't found it yet and I'm already fairly late in the game
Supposedly a good build for a maxed out village is 25 gatherers, 5 charcutier, and [[JUST AS I TYPE THIS THE CERTAIN EVENT FROM ABOVE POPPED UP]] 50 hunters so that you can collect cured meat for mining and adventuring later on
I would give spoilers in transparent text but this is really a game that should be played without any knowledge
