Note: Not every type of villager is able to build all economic buildings, but it is possible to gather from a building of your ally.

Note: The Indian and Japanese civilization cannot gather from herdables.

Note : Villagers have idle time when walking around on Mills and estates. The adjusted gather rate (accounting for walking time), is about equivalent to farms on the respective

resources.

Note: Dutch settlers have a base gather rate of 0.69 gold per second from mines.

Note: Indian villagers get free age 1 and age 2 wood upgrades (Water Wheel and Regenerative Forestry) from Market.

Note: (Cree) Coureur the bois gather from cherry orchards with a base speed of 0.67 food per second. This is the same as a normal villager and is most likely a bug.

In the upgrades and shipments below, both berry bushes and cherry orchards are referred to as "Berry bush". Trees and mango groves are referred to as "Wood".
