I cant get poles to do a 29 pop up fast imp and immediately have the resources to drop a wonder... or even get close... can you?isn't poles better than italians and byz? they save a lot more res 11
The food bonus gives them 140 food instantly with 8 farms which saves a few villager seconds in total over a standard civ .... which means they can use those seconds to collect a different resource, but need more wood to do this because of the falwark. it doesnt actualy help with food that much. And the stone/gold collection bonus is great, but doesnt add enough to allow them to pull off a mega fast time.
Comapare it to italians, who dont need to gather 150 gold and 444 food, which means they also dont have to gather 150 wood by not needing 3 extra farms. And all that bonus for Italians cant match Malay.
Am I missing something with poles?
