Can confirm, thats what I do late game from observing players. Thats.. quite an exploit, might as well set global limit, having more doesn't benefit the player. Me with 50 cows and on the other side a penguin nirvana about 50(I don't even know what ice house is).

It's a good thing that it gives the thing it costs. If i trade, I start to set the trade on 100% metal to finance the training of traders until they are enough. So I see 1. more as a pro corral argument. The corral training tech. It slows the investment down, so one can invest more of the gains the current cows are giving. This is not a important point though. It is more micro, but not much. You can do it in a non-crusial time of the game. It is also a set and forget thing. Just place a coral at some time, Just activate auto-training, set a way point on the ground next to the corral, set a way point on the corral to garrison. So its something like ~5 clicks. The cow production stops automatically if there are 50 cows. The value of food varies during the game very hard. Since populating up is a extreme high priority one make >10 fields. Then when you reach pop cap, the value suddenly drops, while you still have the farmers on the field. The best use is to be the first at the market then and converting it. But then when the game drags on it's best invested in the corrals to free up the pop of the woman on the fields. Persians sure can do both but it's advisable to do the less efficient one later when the efficient method is fully exhausted. Just for note there is also a little trick possible, build a house as extension of your territory, build the 5 ice houses as the extension. Delete the house. Let the ice houses go to gaia. Build 5 new ice houses. Capture the old 5 ice houses back. Interesting for the "survival of the fittest" game where the Persians are OP.
