First, thanx for your comments.
Yup, AoE was balanced for 50 pop, but since almost everyone online plays it at 200 pop, I think it needs rebalancing.
You get +2 damage and +50% hps, and it's one of the cheapest superunit upgrades. (not to mention one of the cheapest superunits)
Farms: the more food you get from them, the longer your villie is farming instead of chopping wood for FBs. That farm upgrade takes up villie time equivalent 630w if the villie was chopping, or 506f if he was picking berries. No matter how much food you get from a farm, at 0.40f/sec it's still the slowest and therefore most expensive source of food. Increase the farming rate, and everything changes.

1. I read that the Chinese had an improved collar round the 4th-2nd century BC, probably got it from the nomadic tribes living to the north of them.
2. How is the support for the petition?

1. No, they got the horses, chariots, saddles (invented by assy) and toe stirrups from the nomads, but foot stirrups and horse collars were of their invention. However the horse collar did not spread to the west until the medieval ages, and was the major techonological and economic cause behind the crusades.
2. I have no idea, check with HM.

Actually, I managed to slip in at HonoredMule's, so we can discuss EOR there.
