Moctezuma leader

[Tsamu]

Having multiple accounts is more common that you think. And even if you only have one account, collecting resources without the research takes 17*11 = 187 seconds, or a little over 3 minutes. With the research it is 17*2 = 34 seconds. 2.5 minutes less. So rather than spend a bathroom break collecting resources, you can make an attack.

I don't know if it's true that a lot of people only keep one worker available. Has there been a poll? If not I will do one.

if/when i am able to hunt, i hunt inbetween attacks, no down time that way. start the hunt and then search my attack.

 

[Imaera]

BHG irony. Since the introduction of this new leader, it takes longer to hunt animals.

 

[LordJestix]

care to explain? when i have the workers it seems to be faster to me. much faster.

 

[Imaera]

As opposed to the mines and fruit trees, when you start gathering or mining the process starts immediately, but with the animals, it takes forever for the workers to get to the animal. Before Moctezuma, hunting was same as gathering. No matter how far the workers were, the killing process was starting as soon as you clicked hunt, without waiting for the workers to catch the animal.

 

[Quovatis]

The game has always required the workers travel to the animal and kill it. Nothing was changed after introducing Moctezuma. It's been that way since launch.

 

[Navalis]

This research has definitely impacted my ability to squeeze in hunting & harvesting at work. I don't have a lot of down time so this is a welcome boon!

 

[Imaera]

Yes, but the timer was starting the moment you hit hunt, including the travel. Now it starts after they get to the animal.

 

[Quovatis]

Nope, you are wrong. It's always worked the way it does now.

 

[Imaera]

I don't think i am. Maybe our devices act differently, i don't know.
But pay attention to tree gathering, which before Moctezuma also required traveling. Now the gathering starts instantly, the worker doesn't even have the time to get to the tree. Animal hunting behaves different.

 

[Quovatis]

For me it has behaved as it does now since game launch. Nothing has changed.

 

[TinSoldier]

Quovatis is correct. Villagers need to run to an animal before harvesting can begin, even at higher ages. (Before Gunpower, your citizens need to chase their prey. After Gunpowder, they still need to line up the shot.) We haven't adjusted any hunting or gathering mechanics.
