Forums / Miscellaneous Discussions / Dwarf Miners

I was playing around with the difference between having miners at a ratio of 1:1 and 2:1 with my mines to see how much it would affect production and therefore whether it would be useful in the future. Well at 1:1 the production goes from 9 gold per mine to 13, and then 16 at 2:1. The increase from 9 to13 had an appropriate 200k jump in production(I have 60k mines so it should be 240k but that's close enough), but when it went from 13 to 16 the production did not increase at all. Not even 1 gold. I am using more food and the army upkeep went down, but the actual gold production does not change.

Below are my production charts for 0, 1:1, and 2:1
I'm working from Underdark so that's where the change should be.

So What am I missing? is there some evil mechanic at work here that is killing off my extra gold?

I think it is 1 caver per mine, the production increase that it says on the build page would just be a glitch or it doesn't take in the fact of cavers already in those mines.

oh...mer, how annoying. Thanks for the info
