Shadow gathering

Post by somp »

Why do they have to bring it to every single new civ? Like dutch/japan (and china) were not enough. Part of strategy is trying to cover your back, not you just make buildings every corner which cant really be sieged cause the moment you go far enough to siege high-hp buildings, you lose your any kind of FB. And not like shadow gathering bs does not outscale you anyway.

They should make a new civ with vills +10% gathering rate but 75hp. But nooooo, gonna be another civ with 3 vills and 300 buildings creating res.

Somp only respects resources that were gathered by the hands of the workers themselves. Everything else is dirty capitalism.
Whatever is written above: this is no financial advice.

The only solution I could think of this issue is to make auto-gather buildings deliver crates instead of just gathering, so you'll have to put some vills to work somehow, and be vulnerable under pressure. This would totally kill some turtle strategies of course, but having banks gather you 1000c per minute while all your villagers are garrisoned seems a bit odd when you think about it.

haciendas just shouldnt be able to garrison vills, thats what really makes the mexico eco unraidable. adjust other things accordingly to balance
