resourses gathering ques.......

[anksssss]

natives n euro[en settlers gather food fronm mill at 0.67 and from farm 0.5 , if v put natives settlers on farm , will they gather fast ?
i have seeen in team game people ask japanese players to make rice paddy for thm , they said they will gather faster from rice paddy ?,
is it true ?
what is base rate of gathering from rice paddy ?
mills, farms , rice paddy n plantation upgrade affect buildings or settler ?,
is japanese rice paddy gather faster for european settlers, becoz of many paddy upgrade japan have or rice paddy from india or china will perform same for european settlers?

the villager who gathers it does not matter (except it is a coureur de bois or a setller wagon, etc.) it solely depends on the building and to whom it belongs ( => upgrades effect it)
the reason why people ask japan for rice paddies is because they cost less. still makes no sense though, everybody should jsut gather on his own lands

The gather rates of paddies are actually really different. On food its 0.5 food/second, on coin thats 0,34 coin/second or something, compared to a mill: 0.64/s and a plantation: 0.5/s. This however doesnt tell the entire story. When villagers are gathering from mills they move around and then bump into eachother. The moving and bumping around costs time so effectively its about 0.5 food/second on mills.

I do recall reading something about japanese cards that didnt improve the villagers, but improved the paddies themselves. I dont know how true this is and I cannot confirm this.

jerom remember that pay back of colleting the extra 800/400w  is not worth it.  its like 20mins or something.

I actually think if youd do the maths that mills plantations and rice paddies gahter almost exactly as fast. So rice paddies are better because they are cheaper and more versitile. Id suppose

so 10villegers on mills is almost equal to 10 on rice paddy , thn what about 7settlers on mills compared to rice paddy , have someone done some study on scenerio ?

[jerom]

H2O did. 7 vills on a mill is slightly faster, however that slightly is sooo slightly that it takes about 60 minutes before they pay off the costs of having to build additional mills. But if you for example want to put 32 on food, you can put like 8 on each mill for an optimal gathering rate (instead of 3 times 10 and on time 2).

[joe4holly]

just put 10vills on each , not worth making extra mills to get a little bit more food or gold.  Its a waste of vill secs to get the extra wood.
