Hello community, 

When does it make sense to use the available resources to upgrade gathering technologies, rather than use the resources to train additional citizens? What is your opinion and what is your reasoning?

In a rush situation or playing on the border, 10 soldiers before upgrading wood and farm. In a situation where you're certain you won't receive a rush, upgrade wood before the barracks, then a barracks and farm upgrade.

Of course it's very situational, but in general this is how I do it.

Woodcutting 1: Before training
Farming 1: Before training, except if you have a lot of additional food

If you have a slinger civ and collect stone early, you can also take the stone upgrade early

If you have like 100 pop you can go p2 and then immediately woodcutting 2, then farming 2.
After clicking p3 you can also take stone 1 and metal 1.
After reaching p3 obviously take wood 3 and food 3.
stone 2 isnt really worth it, unless you plan a lot of slingers during a long game.
Metal 2 and 3 can make sense if you have extra metal.

Well, as borg said, it depends on the situation you're in. 

If you are doing a boom, get level 1 woodcutting as early as possible. Get level 1 farming once you transition to farms.

If you are being rushed, priority is to defend yourself, so make soldiers.

Get level 2 as soon as you hit the town phase.

IMO if you so many questions you should learn to calculate that yourself, check out replays, spectate live games or check the popularity of techs post that I linked you before in another thread. 

Capacity upgrades are not very popular.

But you can carry on the conversation with others of course. But how would you know they are right?

My intention is not to arrive at right or wrong, but rather see how others approach the questions, so I can arrive at my conclusions. And maybe the conversation helps others too, if others share their opinoons.

I will indeed try some new things mentioned here :D.  

What I think would be great is, if we had a "0 AD SotL" who would actually share videos about such calculations. I think this has the potential to improve gameplay design as well as make the game more popular.
