Function & construction
Where it is available to the player, Villagers gather its Wood like a resource source; exact access and placement depend on the map or scenario. Some market technologies also affect Wood gathering from Mango Groves.
Placement & timing
Use the Grove while its resource remains available and safe to reach. Scout for nearby threats and compare it with tree lines before moving workers away from protected resources.
Gather finite Wood and move before depletion
Mango Grove is a map or scenario Wood source rather than a general building or unit. Villagers gather from it where the current mode provides access, and some Market technologies affect its gathering rate. Check the map’s placement and remaining resources before moving workers; exact availability is scenario-dependent.
Use Market improvements only where applicable
The Grove provides finite Wood and can receive some Market gathering improvements. Its location and remaining amount are set by the map or scenario. Check the technology’s source list before researching and move Villagers before the Grove is exhausted or the gathering route becomes unsafe.
Finite map resource and gathering capacity
A Mango Grove is a 3-by-3 Wood resource site with 5,000 Wood in the recorded profile, a maximum of 25 gatherers and no destruction mechanic. Grove Rickshaws can place it for civilizations with the relevant access, including Indians, Prussia and the German Confederation; it is not a universal replacement for a forest. Villagers gather its Wood, and Water Wheel affects gathering from Mango Groves as well as trees for civilizations that can research the technology. The fixed stock makes worker congestion important: sending substantially more than 25 Villagers does not raise the Grove’s listed gatherer capacity. Place or use it near a protected economy when possible, and move workers to another source when its Wood is exhausted. Since the resource site cannot be destroyed, the opponent cannot remove its remaining stock directly, but can still raid the workers or control the approach.
