Tips and Strategies

Wood Gathering Elephants have extremely powerful stats for a woodgatherer. Each elephant gatherer could replace 2 default villagers for the rate of gathering wood. Like all consumables, the three Wood Gathering Elephants would cost zero population, effectively freeing up 6 pop to be allocated elsewhere without hurting wood production.

Of note, is that the speed of the elephant is 5 vs the villagers 6, but due to the elephants max capacity of 50 vs 15 at full upgrades, this more than makes up for it.
