Fish Pond

Constructed fish ponds were a central part of medieval life, often located near the manor house. This mod adds the ability to place three different sizes of fish pond in your territory. Ponds cost between 60 and 100 gold coins to build and require between 10 and 14 gold upkeep. The small pond employs one villager and the larger ponds employ two.

Fish production has been slowed to more accurately depict the rate of catching fish from a pond. Note that this slower production will also apply to fisher huts on the same map.

When placing the pond, find a flat or low point in the map and rotate the pond until no ground is showing above the level of the water. Since no terraforming is available yet in Foundation, the ponds are build within embankments that are raised above the level of the surrounding area.

Ponds give a significant boost to residential desirability nearby.

Villagers will fish from different spots around the pond depending on where they are coming from. It is possible for two villagers to fish from the same spot and overlap each other, but this seems to be a limitation of the game engine.
