Precisely, but not only does it require a forward vil, it also requires a barracks, stable and either scouts (or militia/m@a/pikes) to leverage it.This would synergize amazingly well with the cheaper scouts and free forging.
As for Gold Rush, similar to massive amounts of hunt it seems like the map is the problem there not the civ bonus.
Ps: you are aware that you quoted yourself and you can edit posts?
Pps: dont need BS for the free forging, good to know
