“ | Villagers gather Coin from Mines faster. | ” |
—In-game description |
Quechuan Metalworking (Incan Metalworking before update 47581) is a technology in Age of Empires III that can be researched at a Trading Post built on a Quechua settlement. Once researched, it increases the gather rate of villagers from mines and Mountain Monasteries by 20%, and Abuns from Mountain Monasteries by 20%.
Strategy[]
Quechuan Metalworking can be quite powerful for civilizations who send Home City Cards to stack with the technology or civilizations which already have superior mining rates (e.g. French who have Coureurs des Bois and Dutch who have faster gather rate from mines). However, this technology's usefulness is reduced if the map does not have many mines available.
