Mills are used to attain a steady (and more sustainable) source of Food, but does not provide as much of the resource per Settler as hunting unless a significant effort is made in both upgrades, home city cards and native upgrades. Up to 10 Settlers can work on a Mill at once, though due to collisions between units it's best to only have 7 per structure. Mills placed to closely together (side by side with no space between them) may cause some villagers to "migrate" to the adjacent mill, this bug occurs with plantations and rice paddies as well. Also, there are some upgrades that the Mill provides for faster farming. It is comparable to the Plantation, which works the same way, but produces Coin. Mills also replaces the role of Farms in the previous series. However, farms are reintroduced in The WarChiefs expansion, it acts as the Native American version of the Mill and Livestock Pen.
