Outis Posted 22 hours ago Report Share Posted 22 hours ago (edited) 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? Edited 22 hours ago by Outis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borg- Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Player of 0AD Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outis Posted 17 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 17 hours ago Thanks for the answers, i was thinking more along the lines of, how many new lumberjacks is the first wood gathering tech worth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deicide4u Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outis Posted 15 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 15 hours ago What about wicker baskets? In what cases is it worth it? Does the starting patch of berry bushes justify its cost? Or should you be near a second patch or be in a biome like sahara with higher starting gatherables? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deicide4u Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago If you have additional berries nearby. Otherwise, not worth the cost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outis Posted 3 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 3 hours ago What about gather capacity upgrades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffm2 Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) 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?

And maybe the conversation helps others too, if others share their opinoons. 2 hours ago, ffm2 said: you should learn to calculate that yourself I will indeed try some new things mentioned here . 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
