Resource encounters, such as Wild Farms, Lumber Mills, and Mines, are locations where you can gather essential resources. To collect efficiently, check your army’s resource collection speed before sending them, for example ore collecting speed per hour. Ideally, aim to complete gathering within 12-14 hours to avoid holding up resources for other players.

You can increase your gathering speed by:

• Improving Civil Research for better gathering rates.
• Raising your VIP Rank or Prestige Level.
• Training a hero (army leader) with a gathering bonus.
• Using specialized gathering units like the Huntress, Lumberjack, or Miner.

With these strategies, you can reduce gathering time to 8 hours or less, making resource collection faster and more efficient.
