Improving the viability of Indian wonders for treaty mode or extended play

That’s a good observation. Judging by the analysis I could run on my side this is not the case, although it has to be considered that export gathers passively. The thing is that even when you try to gather it actively with the 5% 10% resources sacrifice for export, because the original passive gather rate is so low, the export you get in return is still minimal. Here’s the calculation:

Sounds good on paper. Let’s do the math… 0.03/s gather rate upgradable to max 0.06/s. Five musks (shadow-teched) cost 400 export, that is 13,333 villager seconds, vs 390 villager seconds that it takes to train regular musks. That is 34 times more, and even with 60% gather rate it’s 20.5 times more, and that’s without counting the wasted 10% resources. This sounds extremely severe…

Even more absurd, when taking into account its theoretical value through exchange one time cards like Dowager Empress (China) Exchanges all export for 1.6 times the coin, it has a theoretical converted export gather rate of 0.38/s and with Red Seal Ship (Japan) Exchanges all coin for 0.83 times the export, it’s 0.5/s. Of course these kind of trade cards like Fur Trade with French is meant to give you a greater value, but this is about 10 times its actual gather rate.
