Overview
Increases the food yield available from farms.
Effect and affected units
Horse Collar changes farms provide +75 food 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 Feudal Age at the Mill. The recorded cost is 75 Food, 75 Wood, and the research time is 20 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
Increases the food yield available from farms. Effect: Farms provide +75 food before they need to be reseeded. Research becomes available in: Feudal Age; Research at: Mill; Research cost: 75 Food, 75 Wood; Research time: 20 seconds. Its payoff is economic: the benefit accumulates through later work, so researching it earlier leaves more time for the improvement to matter.
