Effect & research conditions
The technology costs 50 Food, 50 Wood and 50 Coin and takes 30 seconds. Its bonus applies to Villagers working the listed sources; it does not improve every gathering task or Fishing Ship automatically. Imperial Bureaucracy is the listed follow-up research, so this technology can begin a broader Asian Market upgrade chain.
Research condition
Available to Asians from the Exploration Age. Research it at Asian Market.
When to research
Its broad 5% bonus is easiest to use early, when Villagers still work a mixture of hunts, berries, trees, mines and Mountain Monasteries. The 50 Food, 50 Wood and 50 Coin cost is small in absolute terms, but workers building, fishing or using an unlisted source do not benefit. If you intend to continue through the Asian Market research line, account for Imperial Bureaucracy as a separate follow-up purchase.
Five percent across a defined source list
Civil Servants improves Villager gathering from Hunts, Berry Bushes, Cherry Orchards, herdable animals, trees, Mango Groves, mines and Mountain Monasteries by 5%. The technology does not automatically improve fishing or gathering from every building and source.
Opening step in a longer investment
Available to Asian civilizations in the Exploration Age, it costs 50 Food, 50 Wood and 50 Coin and takes 30 seconds at the Asian Market. Imperial Bureaucracy is the listed next research. Treat that follow-up as a new cost and timing choice rather than assuming the first upgrade completes the chain.
