Make a mod that remove all gui buttons that can be executed with just the mouse (units actions, formations, etc). Also remove selection box since you can always shift+click units when you want to make a multi-selection. You can even remove auto-drop-site deposit and things like that. Surely you'll experience fully the real-time-strategy at it's full potential then. Since real-time obviously means clicking a lot, and anything that allow users to make batch orders are blasphemes.

Why though? It would be 2 developers working against each other. First develops a game mechanic where each farmer has x0.9 of the efficiency of the former. Second just optimize the effect automatically to a minimum making it meaningless for the player. If you like to plan less for your setup, why don't you just suggest to remove the feature that's also not full documented with the numbers? I'd just keep it as it is, but it should be documented with the numbers clearer.

Oh, i completely misread that, i thought we were talking about expanding the radius a villager goes to a new farm if necessary. Because that radius is quite small actually.

If the farm is full, this is already the case, like for all resource gathering. Gatherers have diminishing efficiency in function of how much they are on a single field, hence the initial suggestion of having them spreading.

This update does have the issue:    https://github.com/JustusAvramenko/delenda_est/issues/76   It doesn't happen on choosing 'Skirmishes' maps Only happens on 'random' maps with map sizes above small(768)
