Effect & research conditions
Research requires Timber Trade and costs 1,000 Food and 1,000 Coin; it takes 30 seconds at the Asian Market. Once complete, Villagers gather Wood from trees and Mango Groves 50% faster. The effect does not improve construction speed or gathering from other sources.
Research condition
Asian civilizations; Imperial Age; Asian Market; requires Timber Trade; 1,000 Food · 1,000 Coin; 30 seconds.
When to research
The 50% increase is a major Imperial Age Wood upgrade, but only pays back while Villagers keep gathering from trees or Mango Groves. It costs 1,000 Food and 1,000 Coin for 30 seconds, after Timber Trade. Check remaining forest, worker safety and late-game resource priorities before completing the full Asian wood line.
Final step in the Asian Wood chain
Tropical Timber Trade increases Villager Wood gathering from trees and Mango Groves by 50%. It follows Timber Trade and does not improve construction speed or gathering from other resources.
Imperial Age cost and timing
Asian civilizations research it at the Asian Market in the Imperial Age after Timber Trade. It costs 1,000 Food and 1,000 Coin and takes 30 seconds. The large percentage should be weighed against forest availability and the time left to use the faster rate.
