but the point is it is a very clear advatage to stealer- clearly more than 200 wood at the same situation in ghame matters a lot!

]so as long as you don't **** up your economy while stealing you get an early advantage.
IF enemy survives it,[quote OFTEN TIMES they will be better off than you, because they have a more "set up" economy with steady farms, steady vill distribution.
less differnet food sources to worry about = simpler to play.
it's the same concept as someone winining sea and then going full fish boom while enemy goes land boom. after a certain point, the fish boom guy will actually be behind and worse off 11
I've managed this a few times, but it's only guaranteed to follow if you already tried stealing it otherwise you have to do 2 hits which means you're going to get hit anyway or else it won't follow 100%one of the best stealing i saw was done by FeAge a few days back vs TheViper (in AoFE) where he stole the boar without getting any single hit on EW , managing eco too at same time, that was too good to see , maybe a new way to steal boar- hit boar when it is running/walking away
If you look at it purely economical point of view, the advantage would last forever till the game goes, until post imperial age. but if you involve military also then advatage would dissipate, because if the person who had his boar stole performed good militarily and killed more army with less units, the advantage would shift. your statement that there's nothing a guy can do to get back advantage is incorrect and there are lot of recorded games that would disprove it. There's definitely an advantage in stealing boar, but the point of this article was the advantage is not 700 food that people think, but it's rather less food and more wood.
Of course I took into consideration the walking time and everything else, also I know that the data and numbers are not accurate, It's just one testing, but I just wanted to make my article in as layman's language as possible so I didn't included all this in my original article, that work was my rough work which I done separately so not included in main article, I thought you guys would be smart enough to figure it out by yourself, that the numbers of course would vary, so I didn't feel need to mention all trivial things.
