How many villagers on every resource after boom?

[WindBlownLeaf]

I did a bit of googling, but I wasn't really able to find anything. Build orders don't say either. I'm aware it varies from civ to civ, but a ballpark number would be much appreciated.

it depends on your follow up strategy, so its hard to say a valid number
for example if you go archers you need more on wood and gold, if you go cavalry you need a better food economy.

maybe this site is helping you a bit to understand how many villagers you need on each ressource:

Spend you ressources, don't spend time counting the villagers.
Losing games with 5000 wood, 5000 food, 2500 gold in bank shows me I completely messed up.

I've found 100 vils is more than enough. I dunno, about 30 wood, 30 food, 20 gold, 20 stone? I pretty much only play vs. AI or co-op.

Edit: Okay, that's way too much stone. Like 10 stone, 30 gold.

I find 120 or 60% of max pop is my golden number, allows you to have a mainforce of 60 with 20 as backup/raiding.

The ratio realy depends on the army composition

Yeah, I played a quick game with persia. 2 castles and 2 stables training knights and war elephants is too much for 30 food, 30 gold. probably gonna have to raise my vils.

As rule of thumb you need 6farms/6 gold miners per knight and 18 farms/8gold miners per elephant.

You needed 48 farmers/28 gold miners for that production level, plus wood cutters/stone miners.

The 60% rule never fails me on endgame


PS: You need trade for this and to reach this stage of the game, also any decent player would zerg you with halbs

Thanks for the tip. Fortunately, I only play vs. AI and co-op.

Post Imp 200 pop.

Generic: 35-40 Wood, 35-40 Food, 40-50 Trade Carts. Zero on stone because you'll have mined it all.

Persians (Food Heavy): 20-25 Wood, 60-65 Food, 50-60 carts.

Celts (Wood Heavy): 60-65 Wood, 25-30 Food, 50-55 carts.

There's your ball park :)
