I've seen several recorded games of bad fish booms, and players commenting that fishing on bf is inefficent, or that fish farms are waste of resources. So I made 2 recs, both times I picked spain (becuase no eco bonus, other than faster buidlers), no loom, no extra boars, i lured deer both times. Keep in mind this is for pure boom, playing games will be a bit different but I think this is a good guidline.
Also, farming gather rate in dark is 0.319food/sec, fishing shore fish is 0.24 and fish farms are 0.34. So it just makes sense to me that using lakes is more efficient since it acts like an extra "tc" in dark age after pop 15.
The Results:
Booming without fish, at 31 min I had ~140 civilian pop and around 31 army of knights with a +2 army and bloodlines (i think)
Booming with fish boom, at 31 min I had ~140 civil pop and 51 army of cavaliers, with +2 armor and bloodlines, Also had 2 rams upgraded to capped rams.
Conclusions:
Fish boom is good. From my experience, you need at least 3 shore fish. WIth 1 dont fish, with 2 shore fish I think it doesnt make a difference (unless some kind of bonus, like vik, jap, maya). With 3+ fish fish boom is better than a boom without using fish
Edit: I will make sure to rename the next bf game where I fish boom, so you can see it in an actual game (i have recs of fish booms, but its all saved according to date and I dont feel like seraching through all my recorded games)
Update:
Here is a game where I show fish boom. Not ideal conditions either, where i lost 5-6 vils to wolves, but was very good lake
Results: At 31 min i had 32 army with +2 and bloodlines (i think), also had 3 or 4 capped rams and 1 mangonel.
