Looks good to me, it is great to have 2 by 2 farms to save space and be efficient when villagers are closer to mill or town center not to mention that they don't farm the extra tiles anyway.

:@ I cannot activate the mod, is installed but inside the game is not possible to activate it, I wil really apreciate any help

It's a great mod, but as it's considered as a "pack of data", it's not possible to use it with some other overhauls mod.
It's a pity, as you're making a little change in the game compared to many others :/

Slinger cant be a team bonus since they are in the same slot as the skirmishers
Vince  [author] Aug 31, 2017 @ 5:16am 
I think it'd be a bit too strong as a team bonus. Perhaps the Slinger becomes a team bonus, and the farm becomes a civ bonus. Would make them a bit better along side the other American civs.

This would be a great replacement for the fairly terrible Incan team bonus. Perhaps Andean Farm could be a unique building for the team that costs a little extra wood to start but the standard wood pricce to reseed.

Check the description; there's a non-DLC version there.

Vince  [author] Jul 20, 2017 @ 12:09pm 
Yep, reloading modded games is difficult, so try to play in 1 sitting.
Adiemis Jul 20, 2017 @ 11:55am 
nice mod, but i have problems in reloading games :(

Cool mod, but there is a bug when I click on a field an other field is selected :steamsad:
Vince  [author] Jul 8, 2017 @ 1:56am 
No worries, Hugojandro.
Hugojandro Jul 8, 2017 @ 1:19am 
Vince, my bad.
Vince  [author] Jul 8, 2017 @ 12:39am 
Check the description.

Is there any trouble if I play it in multiplayer? and it can be some kind of cheat in a multiplayer game?
[+ENS+ Arrow8D] Jul 6, 2017 @ 8:07am

Vince  [author] Jul 6, 2017 @ 1:20am 
Finish the games in 1 sitting.

Farms become 4x4 after reopening a saved game. How can this be fixed?
Nerva Jul 5, 2017 @ 12:22pm 
neeee el juego esta bien porque le hacen estooo, porqueeeeee
Phepho Jul 4, 2017 @ 2:00pm 
Lol, I saved a game and when I returned the farms became 4x4 and bugged everything '-'
Vince  [author] Jul 4, 2017 @ 1:14pm 
No, the only way that would be possible is if you were to edit one of them and just manually trace over what you want copied.
Heller Jul 4, 2017 @ 1:01pm 
any way to use this with other mods that need to be activated at the start of the game?
Phepho Jul 4, 2017 @ 9:26am 
Oh, I found it :D
Phepho Jul 4, 2017 @ 9:24am 
I tried, but I coudn't do it.
Vince  [author] Jul 4, 2017 @ 8:29am 
You can not do that for campaigns. check the description above to see how to do it for regular games.
Phepho Jul 4, 2017 @ 8:08am 
How do I do it?
Vince  [author] Jul 4, 2017 @ 1:47am 
Well that makes sense, since you need to enable it at the start of a game.
Phepho Jul 3, 2017 @ 7:03pm 
Didn't work on Expainsions campaigns :/
Vince  [author] Jul 3, 2017 @ 8:29am 
Try it; if it doesn't work go for the other one.
Enquidou Jul 3, 2017 @ 8:07am 
WIll I need all expansions?
I don't have the Rise of the Rajas - will it work nonetheless?
Vince  [author] Jul 3, 2017 @ 7:50am 
I assume so yes, but cannot confirm this.
[+ENS+ Arrow8D] Jul 3, 2017 @ 7:20am 
dose this mod still allow me to earn in steam achevments?
Skalius Jul 2, 2017 @ 6:09pm 
Farmers farming to the northeast of a farm or TC, would have a shorter distance to drop their ressources of, so they should collect faster.
Vince  [author] Jul 2, 2017 @ 2:24pm 
On a 3x3 farm, the villager only uses 2x2 - 5 tiles are not used.

2x2 still however makes it slightly faster because they're more compact.

So you're both kinda right - for single farms it's the same, but adding everything up it does save a bit.
canuckcowboy Jul 2, 2017 @ 2:19pm 
Ergo more farms = shorter walking distance to center or mill = faster food? Compare walking distance from center of 3x3 vs center of 2x2. Yes you are dealing with microseconds but it would add up on a farming map. Correct?
Majacura Jul 2, 2017 @ 1:57pm 
Fun fact: the villager only move in a 2x2 area on 3x3 farms anyways, it does NOT speed up the farming (the youtuber 'Spirit of the Law' mentioned this in a video about farming in AOE 2)

You're a hero
Bane Jul 2, 2017 @ 9:11am 
good idea good mod!
Martinxx777 Jul 2, 2017 @ 7:07am 
nice

thank you!:steamhappy:
Vince  [author] Jul 2, 2017 @ 1:21am 
It doesn't matter since you can adjust your economy balance accordingly.
leow193 Jul 1, 2017 @ 3:27pm 
well still, it breaks balance since farming will be faster while farming is supposed to be one of the slowest food income
Vince  [author] Jul 1, 2017 @ 11:47am 
It's not cheating because everyone will have it - it's a data mod.
leow193 Jul 1, 2017 @ 11:04am 
Isn't that kinda like cheating ? If the farm is smaller, the farming is faster
Vince  [author] Jul 1, 2017 @ 5:54am 
I don't really want to bother, if anyone wants to use it feel free to do whatever.
Drakiros Jul 1, 2017 @ 5:45am 
may i suggest you talk with some of the guys who made a modpack kinda of thing to add your mod into it ?
Benji Jul 1, 2017 @ 2:19am 
Nicu
Vince  [author] Jul 1, 2017 @ 2:03am 
It's not supposed to be realistic, it's supposed to be fun.
