When to research
Choose Royal Banquet while the named economic source is active: Sells all herded animals for 50% of their food as influence. Its value depends on workers, buildings or deliveries actually using that system, so compare the research investment with immediate production and switch plans if the source is exhausted or unsafe. Use the Livestock Market for research. Research takes 5 seconds and costs 250 coin.
One-time livestock conversion
Royal Banquet is an Exploration Age technology for African civilizations at the Livestock Market. It costs 250 Coin and researches in five seconds. Once used, it sells all herdable animals the player currently owns and grants Influence equal to 50% of their Food value. It can be researched only once. Because the conversion consumes the livestock, it removes those animals from future Food gathering and any other use.
Choose the moment carefully
Wait until the herdables intended for sale have been gathered and their Food value is worth converting. Researching too early can sell animals that would have produced more Food if kept alive; researching too late may leave Influence with little time to spend. Check the current Influence balance and the units or technologies it can purchase before triggering the banquet. The short research time makes it easy to overlook that this is an irreversible economic choice, so treat the button as a deliberate exchange rather than a routine upgrade.
