KhitansShepherds and Herders generate +10% additional food civilization bonus removed.
Herder walking distance on Pastures increased.
Herder gather rate adjusted, so the overall income is reduced from +12% → +7% compared to generic un-upgraded Farmers.Developer Note: The Khitan food economy provided too much early tempo by receiving ~64 food from Sheep in Dark Age, followed by exceptionally efficient Pastures. These changes will adjust the overall food income to be in line with other food bonuses in the game, while maintaining the unique strengths and feel of the Pasture economy.
