I've decided to test what's the difference in brave resource and mana between a player who harvests a lot and a player who doesn't do it at all. I've made my tests in the Face Off map - unsymetrical maps show great dependencies for different tribes.

Test had three stages for each tribe:

  1. Very intensive (about for 1 min) harvesting before building.
  2. Harvesting to the huts - most common way for harvesting among populous players.
  3. No harvesting.

I've been checking breave resources and mana every one minute, intensive dismantling and not using trees from the hill (green's people without harvesting stole some wood from a hill - that's why on the beginning green without harvesting is better than green with harvesting).

Becouse 1) and 2) methods gave almost identical results (!) these two ways are marked as a playing with harvesting.

Intensive harvesting is very useful for every tribe apart from blue, blue needs fast mana to make pressure on the opponent. I'm sure when you expand land as a blue you will need harvesting as well.

The difference between harvesting vs no harvesting can be clearly noticed after 10 - 12 mins.

I was dismantling very intensively but i didn't need to build towers nor need to repair damaged huts - during the real game difference between harvesting vs no harvesting can be noticed much faster.
