Ive always liked the sicilians, and the farm bonus as I interpret it gives you wood starting midgame because you have double the farm effect, ¿Is it comparable to teutons, and is it a good wood bonus? , ¿Am I interpreting the wrong way and overestimating it?
You save wood long term. Since you don’t have to reseed as often. Horse collar in particular is more valuable. You probably don’t need to research crop rotation with the insane amount of food you have. This in turn helps you save resources to invest in other things.
