230 wood is basically a TC that you have to delay because of e-skirm upgrade, while behind going xbow you can start booming immidiately, especially since xbows dont cost food
Food is way harder to get in the midgame than gold. Since trash is very food intensive, usually kinda slow and almost always weaker than gold units, it's never really the preferred choice. Due to the food price it's way harder to boom as well.You should have more wood in this case because you do not have to put as many villagers on gold.
It does not matter butSo what do you wish for Byzantines ?
