Doesn't flood of the nile give a small trickle of food? How should that be made a GP?

If everyone think like that, Hades' vault of erebus (provides free gold) could also be a god power. No, flood of the nile is just good. Help the poor little laborers a little bit...

a trickle of anything at anytime is good. since eggie get the food, greeks get the gold, the norse should at least get wood.

its as if you have one extra vill on food. But you have to pay for this and in a close game you need all the resources you have all the time for other things like vills units and buildings. Its like vault of erebus in that its only good in the later game but still its not gonna make much of a difference in anything. VoE is better too since in the late game you need gold. Basically i have never gotten this tech ever since im always hoping to end the game before it would pay for itself. And in titans in the small window of time where you actually have enough resources to spare to get it (later on) and the games not already over someone will probably just make a titan and end it sooner.

ummm... not that anyone would care, but i usually research hunting dogs, get 5-6 villies on food, send 3 to gold, next builds house-goes to gold, next build monument-go to gold, 2 food, next builds temple-goes to gold, 3 food, research flood of nile, 3 wood, 2 food, advance.... thats about how the first 4 and a half minutes are spent on hunting maps.... i love FH though, i send most units to food, build temple, house, advance in 4:45 and send most food units elsewere(gold), build armory and advance to herioc in 6:50... i usually get Flood of Nile after herioc in FH and get Flood of Nile at 3:00-3:40 on my regular strategy....
