Resource Overview History

IconFish

Fish are a rare resource found only in ocean. They are gathered by Fishermen and provide a basic income of 10 Food Food and 10 Wealth Wealth. They are found on all sea maps as well as some land maps.

Fish are an excellent way of bringing in Food Food, as they are plentiful and each site requires one Fishing Boat. Similar to Farms, they can only support one gatherer, however. Still, fishing in friendly waters is a steady and efficient source of Food Food and Wealth Wealth. The one disadvantage is that, unlike Farms, they can obviously not be built, limiting the amount of safe fishing sites. Fishing Boats are not armed and cannot outrun the large guns of battleships or cruisers, and can be sunk in one torpedo volley, requiring that they be protected, or only be gathering Fish at a secure site.

The Food Food gather rate of Fish can be increased by Agronomics research at the Granary, and the Wealth Wealth gather rate can be increased by Taxation research at the Temple.
