So because I have no life I tried to test the actual impact of the hausa gather rate Test 1: 24 hausa vils with grannary vs 24 british vils for about 10 mins ![image](https://forums.ageofempires.com/uploads/default/original/3X/6/a/6aeb01c51155e1e7913f4f6ab278e13381289ae4.jpeg) ![image](https://forums.ageofempires.com/uploads/default/original/3X/9/e/9e25466d7f33028cdfcbad16d24d2a8a1287e2f0.jpeg) its a about equivalent, there were minor variations due to the fact that I couldnt set the african civ AI to just collect the res ( they start doing stupid stuff) At first I saw that the euro vils were gathering more but i discovered this was because I didn’t pack them fully (24 vils on 4 mills). When it was 24 vils on 3 mills the efficiency was the same Test2: same as 1 except hausa vils have +10% speed from market tech ![image](https://forums.ageofempires.com/uploads/default/original/3X/3/b/3beff870e860d0da93234039c1d482f466294018.jpeg) ![image](https://forums.ageofempires.com/uploads/default/original/3X/2/7/273e781f4417f934c77bafee2bac17e6f39f018c.jpeg) there might be a tiny tiny effect like 0.5% difference also looking at the idle villager graphs I think its clear why the net gather rates are more similar ![image](https://forums.ageofempires.com/uploads/default/original/3X/3/5/35526ef2dee03af77f757414e64291bbe203ad9b.jpeg) on average about 4-5 euro vils are idling due to all the bumping and moving around hausa vils are only idling like 2-3 So from that the net hausa food eco is probably comparable to a civ that is missing food silo.
