Harvesting is a technique which can be very helpful. It means cutting the trees down untill it is 1 wood and then doing it again when it is back to 4.


Trees grow untill it gets to 4 peices of wood. If you harvest then you will get 3 pecies of wood plus 4 more because the tree has grown to 4 again. This can save you lots and lots of wood.


To use the technique, select 3 [[Brave]]s and hold down ctrl. Now select one tree and then select part of the ground then repeat this untill the number says 8. Do this again once they have grown back.

Introduction

Harvesting is on the most rudimentary techniques used in online play. Its 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.

How It's done

A player must first select 2 or 3 men (2 if the tree is near to a building or potential buidling and 3 if it is further away). Then whilst holding down ctrl, select a tree with the men then click on the ground. Repeat by selecting another tree then the ground until the integer 8 is visible or until there is no more trees to harvest. Some people like to use the last interation/s to patrol instead of just clicking on the ground/tree. As a result, more mana is procuded due to the brave's continuous movement.
