The Garden is a building in Age of Mythology: Tale of the Dragon that is only available to the Chinese. Gardens generate resources and are the only way for Chinese to gain favor. A Garden generates 0.05 favor per second (3.0 per minute), but can also be tasked to generate any other resource, at 10 times the rate. A maximum of 10 Gardens can be built, with each one increasing generation rate for the chosen resource. All of the Gardens must be tasked on one resource, meaning the player cannot make one generating favor and the other generating food. The first two Gardens are cheaper, but only the first time they are built, not if they need to be rebuilt.

1. Gardens can be tasked to generate any resource, but they only generate one at a time.
2. The Plenty Vault generates all three resources simultaneously.

History

“	The Garden is a economic building unique to the Chinese civilisation. Aside from its pleasing visual, the Garden's purpose is to generate resources based on the player's choice but with the caveat that only one resource can be generated at a time. While the player can build more than one garden, they will all generate the same resource without the option to set them individually.	”
