Hello Kerberos. I am a level 55, and to be honest, I have only recently discovered that hitting robber barons, barbarians and cultist towers are a good source of income. You state that the higher your PO, the more farmhouses you can build, but the flip side of that is this, in an 8 food 2 wood environment, you can have 8 level 10 farms which produce 880 food per hour basic. What you are forgetting is that, if you add a 9th, 10th or even 11th farmhouse, your production for each additional farmhouse will get less and less so, it would be better to use the additional space to build either parks, jousting lists or festival squares. These are probably more productive than additional farmhouses. The aim is to make your castle as productive as possible. With too many houses or too many woodcutters, farms or stone masons, the chances are that the PO will go up only slightly. Use the space, and use it wisely.

You have a fully build 8-food op, so it's hard to see the changes. From what i understand from your earlier analysis, you have 14 jousting lists. correct?

If I may suggest: (best to try the following after you have demolished all ur dwellings, as the changes in production will be huge)
1) Record the food produced (final ouput) of your lowest producing farmhouse
2) store 1 list. record the final output (for that farmhouse)
3) store all lists. record the final output (for that farmhouse)
4) restore all lists and if you have room build a level 1 farmhouse. Is the final output higher (or a bit lower) than original output after building reduction and po are applied?

If so, imho, it is worth upgrading that farmhouse

keep in mind that , pixel-wise, the park and the festival square are exactly same size, and in the space of one of those, you can fit 2 production buildings.

jousting list on the other hand, is 1 pixel wider on one side (that's why festival square is more expensive, because it allows you to fit more of them in a given area than jousting lists)

so you have to decide. what is better? a jousting list or 2.66 farmhouses? (the 0.66 is added to show that in the space of 3 lists, you can fit 8 farmhouses, due to the 1-pixel-wider-than-festival-square effect i mentioned earlier. not that you would add 8 farmhouses and remove 3 lists... just saying)
