How about give rice paddies to all civs?

Post by paddy_jai »

Plantations are expensive
villi stuck cos of lag in mills and plantations
rice paddies are perfect for cowing

I think it'd improve the lag possibly, which basically makes it worth it right?

I'm guessing making gatherers on Mills and Plantations fixed isn't practically feasible to begin with, and that replacing those buildings with Rice Paddies is never going to take effect.

Pretty easy to make villagers just not walk around on mills and plantations btw (change protounit name - that behavior is changed to protounit). Did this in the old treaty patch I made a few years ago.

Then that would be great in some respects. Of course, you'd be forced to lower the gathering rate(s) accordingly...

I believe we did lower the gather rates to adjust for it.

Well, from what I've read the gather rate for rice paddies is lower so that it's equal to the one of mills and plantations excluding walking time.
Generally, though, it's one of those things that make Asian civs better in comparison, lower cost I mean, but there's not really a way to properly balance it, or just people seem reluctant to it in general.

If this could be done on the current treaty patch it would be awesome. Ofc with gather rates adjusted accordingly. It could do quite alot to reduce some of the lagg issues. Could we maybe see this in a future patch update? If not, why? @charlemagen @dicktator_ @Lukas_L99 @Gichtenlord @_NiceKING_ @Sabusa

We had brought it up before you came to the patch team. Brett and Matt couldn't do it but they didn't try very hard either

Should be able to nix the spinning anim from the animfile I'd imagine without much effort.
