Effect & research conditions
The technology costs 100 Food, 100 Wood and 100 Coin and takes 15 seconds. Its gather bonus applies to the listed worker and unit classes, including Klamath Riflemen under the recorded rules. It is not a general 5% bonus for every unit or every resource source. Secure the Klamath post and check which eligible units are active.
Research condition
Available from the Exploration Age. Research it at Trading Post or Tambo on a Klamath settlement.
When to research
Research when Villagers or Fishing Ships are already gathering and the army includes Klamath Riflemen that can use the effect. The benefit accumulates over time; it is weak if the workforce is idle or the map offers no safe water. Compare its mixed-resource cost with the buildings and units needed to maintain those gathering lines.
Several gathering roles share the same improvement
Klamath Work Ethos is unusual in applying to Villagers, Fishing Ships and Klamath Riflemen. Its payoff can span land and water economies, but only if those units are actually gathering under the relevant rules. A 5% increase is gradual, so protect the workers and boats long enough to collect its value. The Klamath settlement connection is also a map objective; losing the post can disrupt access to the improvement and other allied options.
