Harvesting or Farming is one of the most rudimentary techniques used in online play.

Farming is done when you are taking [[brave]]s, depending on the size of the [[tree]] (E.G: If the [[tree]] has three [[wood]] piles you'd take 2 [[brave]]s, if it has 4 [[wood]] piles (maximum) you would take 3 [[brave]]s) and click on the [[tree]] while holding down ctrl and then ctrl-clicking the ground.

Harvesting or Farming is one of the most rudimentary techniques used in online play. It allows a player to increase their wood surplus, by carefully controlling/monitoring the cutting process of the trees in the immediate proximity to their base. It is mainly used on the levels; Craters, Two on Two and sometimes Face Off.
How It's done
Farming is done when you are taking braves, depending on the size of the tree (E.G: If the tree has three wood piles you'd take 2 braves, if it has 4 wood piles (maximum) you would take 3 braves) and click on the tree while holding down ctrl and then ctrl-clicking the ground. Then it is repeated until you have done the same routine 4 times (maximum you can do). Farming a tree with 2 pieces of wood is not recommended as there's no point in doing so. That is the basics of farming. Another option could be, after ctrl-clicking the tree, ctrl-click it to a plan. That way the wood is already at the plan, speeding up the building process and decreasing the risk of cutting a tree down fully. Another way is to just send your braves to a tree near some huts, then your braves automatically divide the wood between the huts or plans that need it. Of course there is no point farming on maps which have vast amounts of trees (Pressure Point, Dead Sea) and other maps.
