Intended (20 characters)
It is intended. As a matter of fact if you give your ally consent. They can gather from your farms as emergency eco… However the funny thing is estates and african fields are bugged in a sense that it will say its full for the other player even though its not. Rice paddies and Haciendas can be gathered from without that notification <3 enjoy
That is not true. You can test this and i have done it multiiple times. I play survival and a whole lot of other modes in team games. So i should know. If you don’t believe me. Find a buddy and see for yourself 
Intended I’m pretty sure. Though if you play an african civ, your gather rates will be terrible. A lot of the cards only apply to gather rates on fields. This may be true for native civs too
Horribly true for aztec age up. It doesnt boost the team hacienda either
Ah yes, i remembered it wrong from this video https://youtu.be/hFpOJCweJMY?si=_NCgTUcNlpd55Of2
But you are correct
Shared farms are nice, but what I wouldn’t like is for allies to be able to recapture livestock unless you want them to.
You could do this all the way back into legacy AoE III game.
They shut that down because it can be abused by Mexico and the African civs. If there wasn’t a limit you could get even more of an influence trickle and could theoretically replace your whole economy with cows using the Draft Oxen card. Although I’m not sure how realistic actually getting to that point would be.
There’s also nothing stopping you from just killing your ally’s livestock and eating them.
Don’t forget India getting huge amounts of XP every second. I think it worked on Legacy.
Infinite cows, infinite power!!! Lol.
I’m referring to when you capture wild cattle on the map, or when you obtain cattle through treasures. The ally captures them unintentionally, unless they have already reached their limit as you say.
