So clearly, it’s not just the Berry bonus that is at work here.Īs for the free Farms, sure, free Horse Collar is nice to have, and I won’t deny it saves you quite a bit of wood. In my view, the Berry bonus is something that kicks in mostly in Feudal, you can use it to get a 19 pop Scout rush, but other civs like Lithuanians or Mongols can do that too and they aren’t considered OP. I generally agree with nerf proposals to top civs in here, however, Franks is the 1 civ of the “top tier” ones that I consider as belonging to a slightly different group.
