A stockpile-based Coin trickle
Berber Salt Caravans is an Exploration Age upgrade at a Trading Post or Tambo on a Berber kingdom. It costs 150 Food, 150 Wood and 150 Coin, then creates a Coin trickle based on the player’s current Food and Wood stockpile: 0.001 Coin per stored resource, with a minimum rate of 1 and a maximum of 4 per second. For example, a combined stockpile of 2,000 Food and Wood corresponds to a 2-Coin-per-second rate. Because spending Food or Wood can lower the rate, the upgrade rewards a large reserve but may fluctuate during a major army or building purchase. Consider it when the economy can maintain the threshold without delaying essential production.
