Crop Rotation
The final shared farm-yield improvement in the standard research line.
Overview
The final shared farm-yield improvement in the standard research line.
Effect and affected units
Crop Rotation changes farms provide before they need to be reseeded. The affected target is be reseeded; the bonus does not automatically apply to the rest of the roster. This is the main reason to research it; compare the affected units with the army you expect to field.
Research cost and timing
Research is available in Imperial Age at the Mill. The recorded cost is 250 Food, 250 Wood, and the research time is 70 seconds. The linked progression is Horse Collar → Heavy Plow → Crop Rotation. Consider whether the upgrade will affect enough units or workers to repay that investment before the match is decided.
Effect and research timing
The final shared farm-yield improvement in the standard research line. Effect: Farms provide before they need to be reseeded. Research becomes available in: Imperial Age; Research at: Mill; Research cost: 250 Food, 250 Wood; Research time: 70 seconds. Its payoff is economic: the benefit accumulates through later work, so researching it earlier leaves more time for the improvement to matter.
