The profits of mills led to conflict and competition, and the right to grind grain for a community had to be paid for and defended. They became part of the rising middle class of merchants and craftsmen that grew in importance as the Middle Ages progressed. Farm Farms provide a renewable source of food. Farms are built by villagers, who then gather food from them. Each Farm provides a limited amount of food before it goes fallow and must be rebuilt. To rebuild a Farm, select a villager, and then right-click the expired Farm. Before you can build Farms, you must build a Mill. Farms cannot be converted by enemy Monks. You can farm enemy Farms that have been abandoned. You can increase the production of your Farms by researching Horse Collar, Heavy Plow, and Crop Rotation (at the Mill). The technology of farming was carried forward into the Middle Ages and improved. Northern European soils were often rich glacial deposits hidden under dense forests. Over the course of the Middle Ages, much of this land was cleared and converted into farms. Key technology improvements in farming were the improved horse harness, the heavy plow, and crop rotation. The new horse harness did not choke the animal and increased pulling power. The heavy plow could cut into the dense soils. Farms in Europe were largely communal affairs where each family received the produce of several rows in the field. The production of some rows went directly to the local lord as his rent Mining Camp The Mining Camp is used to deposit stone and gold and research your stone and gold mining. Build Mining Camps near stone or gold mines to gather these resources faster. Mining continued throughout the Middle Ages, especially for iron, salt, copper, tin, gold, coal, and silver. The invention of gunpowder greatly increased demand for 50 Chapter VI - Buildings sulfur and saltpeter. By 500 AD, valuable surface deposits were rare and mines had to be driven into the earth. The desire to improve mining productivity and safety led to many important technology improvements. Early tramways for pulling ore carts out of mines foreshadowed railroads of the future.
