Yoruba Herbalism
Yoruba Herbalism is an Exploration Age technology researched at a Trading Post or Tambo on a Yoruba kingdom. It improves Villager gathering from trees and Mango Groves by 10% and allows Native Warriors and land Villagers to regenerate 1 hit point per second near trees or Berry Bushes.

Effect & research conditions
Research takes 40 seconds and costs 250 Food and 250 Coin. The economic bonus raises the Villager work rate on trees and Mango Groves by 10%. Native Warriors and land Villagers also recover 1 hit point per second while close to trees or Berry Bushes; the entry does not give a numeric radius. The healing is a terrain-dependent sustain effect, separate from the gathering bonus.
Research condition
Available from the Exploration Age. Research it at Trading Post or Tambo on a Yoruba kingdom.
When to research
Research it when Villagers are actively gathering Wood and the army can use wooded or berry-covered ground to recover between engagements. The 1 hit point per second regeneration can help eligible units remain useful after a fight, but its value depends on the terrain and proximity. Do not rely on it to heal units during an open-field engagement or beyond the listed terrain.
Two effects with different conditions
The gathering bonus is tied to Villagers working trees or Mango Groves, while the regeneration applies to Native Warriors and land Villagers close to trees or Berry Bushes. A Yoruba Trading Post or Tambo therefore supports both an economic improvement and a terrain-based recovery tool. The source does not list the effect radius, so position the army close to the relevant terrain rather than assuming a fixed distance.
