Hey guys, The thing is you can't consider only the first 40sec. Because yeah you'll get more food in 40 sec but not enough to invest into anything. I consider that: - you can produce non-stop batches of 5 villagers - gathering food is 0.5f/s - time to create 1 female (1 by 1) = 8s - time to create 5 female (batch) = 29s The first table is the results when you create females 1 by 1 The second table is the results when you create females 5 by 5 What you see is that after about 90sec, creating batch is more efficient (more food gathered and more villagers created). And the extra ressource you get by creating units 1 by 1 in these first 90sec are not enought to invest into anything. so 5by5 >>> 1by1. Please tell me if I made a mistake Alex
