Bank question

[ssaa22]

When building a bank, is it better to have more settlers build than one settler?

as i understand generally people build with 4 because it's up faster (meaning your vils / foundation is exposed less) and you get XP sooner. I thought that for most efficient resource gathering 1 vil was better but i was looking at this long time ago

Not trying to be rude... But if you have to ask, it probably wont matter to you :)

Other will probably come and explain about villager walking time, etc

yes for example your first bank, wile aging you got 90 secdons to gather 350 food and wood
and you need to make 100 coin to train a new vilie so the first bank you need to build with 4 vil.

all other banks its in my vison less importand so use 1 or 2 ( 1 bank and 1 vil on coin is enough to contineu training vilies)

Maths about this were made in some thread somewhere, you can probably find it with the search. But the answer is pretty much 4 vils.

I made a thread on how building works. Later on, I go into villagers on banks. Long story short, depends on how far the vills have to walk. Just remember that your vills also have to walk to appropriate build spots on the building. They can't all start building from the nearest corner, they'll awkwardly walk to spots around the building (if you've ever built an Asian wonder with multiple villagers you'll know the weird scramble they do before building).

In actual practice, 4 is a good number to go with. Just grab a group of 4 adjacent villagers and plop down a bank right next to them. Always build with at least 2.

Additionally, the MAXIMUM amount of gold you can generate through this efficiency is ~23 coin per bank. This assumes everything is perfectly lined up with all 8 villagers. This probably wont be the edge you need to beat a similarly skilled opponent, so don't agonize over it.
