Does eggy (empowered) farming have a hidden bonus??
The reason I say that is:
Regular resources gathering, for any civ, is at a certain rate.
Farms, and fishing are the only things that are unlimited resources...
Now, when eggy is empowered, they gather resources at the same rate as people, but when they drop off they get more res in their stock pile...
The downside to this is that if they get 3 extra res then the gathering site loses the 3 res...Correct me if I'm wrong here, because this was my understanding..

Now, if eggy does farming, they dont have that loss, because farming is unlimited...its really not a bonus but its removing a loss that they would have had on the resources...
I may be thinking a little foggy, but would this be a good thing for them or not? I cant see a way it would be a bad thing, but It makes it seem like there isnt that much wrong with leaving hunting early, with eggy...it doesnt hurt you as much as with other civ's....
This is all assuming you are only empowering food...
I dunno my mind is clouded at the moment...someone tell me im wrong PS Does empowered docks do the same thing with fishing ships..? Just curious
