Effect & research conditions
Research costs 350 Wood and 350 Coin and takes 30 seconds. The +0.15 Influence auto-gather bonus applies to Sheep, Goats and Cattle. It does not improve Villager gathering or the animals’ Food fattening rate; it affects the Influence stream associated with eligible livestock.
Research condition
Available to Africans from the Fortress Age. Research it at Livestock Market.
When to research
Research when a working herd can remain near the relevant livestock economy long enough to accumulate Influence. With only a few animals or a short remaining match, the trickle may not repay the cost. Protect the herd and make sure Influence is useful for the African army or technology plan.
Influence from a herd
Eligible Sheep, Goats and Cattle auto-gather Influence at a rate increased by 0.15. The technology does not improve Villager work or increase how quickly animals fatten for Food. It adds a distinct stream to the African livestock economy.
Research only with livestock in operation
Transhumance costs 350 Wood and 350 Coin and takes 30 seconds at the Livestock Market in the Fortress Age. Its return depends on keeping eligible animals active and safe. Consider whether the resulting Influence will be spent on units or technologies before delaying other production.
