so i have seen some top players place the house making vills card in their treaty deck, but i have never seen anyone actually used it. is it worth it? i mean with the house boom, brits already gets a faster production in vills, i can only see this card being used for fast aging cause once in age 4, after the card the vill is going to massed in couple of secs, but what about in the late game, when u need vills, they will come out so slow, is it worth it?

Well, there are a few better cards the Brits have that might be more worthwhile then Estates, but getting to age 4 and shipping the card in pretty much means you max out villies a minute after you hit age 4. Brilliant for early maxing, but in the long run there are a few much better cards you could fill the deck with.

But I'm not an avid treaty player, don't take my word too seriously..

Yeah, Estates is basically used if u go to age 4 fast and then max vills. It is also useful late game if your a n00b and your eco gets raided and you then you can retrain your vills fast but by then you probably already lost.

allways use that card, u max settlers way faster with that. After manor boom u can go straight to 4, and then max vills (or go to age 5) very fast.

Also Remember that the Villager Training time Doubles, So I don't know if its Worth it or Not.

Well... let's see. A villager takes twice as long to produce.

 So instead of 15 secs, 30 secs.

With this card you build 21 vills in 30 secs.

With 3 TC's, you build 6 villagers in 30 seconds. Is it worth it?

Hell yeah. 

i play treaty only:

u can get to age 4 booming with about 50 villies in 14ish mins. easy.

if you use the card you can have max villies and be aging by about 16/17 mins depending on how much food you have (cuz its still 2000 food to make 20 vilies so every 30 secs you need that)

but at the same time youd have your 2 facs sent....

so if done right you can end up with 99 villies 2 facs a cow boom going and in the imperial age by 17/18 mins......

Combined with a proper cow boom (not a noob cow boom where you spam cows to an ally lol) its definitely worth it.

if your a noob and dont use cows, or you cow boom by sending to an ally and not the proper way then its probably going to slow your aging down alot to do 20 vills at a time through houses.

also need to add the lost gathering time in of 15sec, but yeah 21 vils is still better :P

I even made a little mistake, the villager training time is 25 not 15. But i'm not kind of nerd that knows that by heart :P
