When constructing multiple buildings, it is more effective to assign different Builders to each one.
Usually the only reason I use multiple on the same building is because I’m gonna be housed soon
Yes, otherwise adding villagers would allow for extremely fast build times with not many villagers.
I think the game balances the extra villager time needed to build something fast pretty well.
Sotl found for tcs it was best to use around 4 builders to maximize efficiency considering time spent not collecting rez versus how soon you get the extra vills out and break even on spent and lost rez
It depends.
Especially if you’re building 2 production buildings with only 2 vils (double archery range after hitting fuedal, for example) it can be worth it to do two villagers per range.
Your first range will be up faster and you can produce archers immediately.
Sometimes having one archer out to prevent their archers from hitting your building vils or whatever can be clutch.
But in general yeah.
If you don’t need a unit out to defend ASAP, split up your vils when building multiple at once.
Yes
And there are probably 100 other small things that we are missing/forgetting etc.For example I knew that villls can drop any resources while building a mill/camp/tc but only fish food at a dock.
So my wood vill with 8 wood lost it while making the dock.
Dock is not a normal resource drop-off building.
This is something that makes sense to me now, but I would not have considered without being told about it.
Thanks for bringing this up.
You’ll use the second builder to build a market for an FC or for a house when you are exactly one pop below limit though because the timings are worth it.
Also, not shift building farms makes the vils seek out the nearest farms.
Did you not realize that addition villagers don’t have the same build speed as the first?
formula: `3t / (n+2)` where t is the cost in time it takes to build the building and n is the number of villagers
