If you instead sell wood down to 76 and use gold mining to generate the rest of your gold to buy F, it costs VS, for a VS savings. That's a VS savings, or more than the Mongol bonus. Compare this to gathering F by farming it costs VS.
Buying F at the market using only gold that's mined costs VS. However, with proper marketeering the Saracens can save at least that many VS or possibly even more. The Mongols are considered the fastest civ with their hunting bonus, which gives them about VS savings compared to baseline. Although selling wood for gold is more efficient than gold mining as a means of gold collection only for the first 3 trades, wood is typically not a resource that is exhaustible so the long- term effects of selling wood are far less. This was the empirical break-even point where the VS difference between farming and buying food FROM sold wood started declining. Compare this to farming, which has a VS cost of 4. Note: This is significantly higher than the values recorded in my Real Resource Gathering Rates because that value is for 12 vils at a lumber camp. This can allow the Saracen to research horse collar before farming and delay needing to get wheelbarrow, allowing for more villagers early on and more efficient farms later. A Saracen can buy food before that method is no longer efficient.
Here are some of the conclusions I came to. However, I was in the process of trying to develop a feudal strategy for every civ so that I wouldn't be stuck not knowing what to do with a random civ which had just happened a couple of times and I decided to give Saracen marketeering another try. I won't go INTO a lot of details on why I think that's foolish suffice it to say that there's a big long-term sacrifice made by spending all of your stone and gold at the market. Either way, they tried to completely avoid farming and got all of their food FROM the market. However, I always wrote those posts off because they all either used the stone-for-gold-for-food method or went super-heavy on gold mining. This is a strategy I developed about weeks ago can't remember exactly when after playing around with some of my resource gathering rate numbers.
