Farming in Empire: Total War

The folk at Sega are releasing some of what the units look like for Empire: Total War and here we have the European-styled tenanted farm. From the description, "Tenanted farms can only generate so much income from rents. With an increase in town size, and an increased demand from industry for agricultural products, it is more profitable to have herds of animals, not a gaggle of tenants. Meat and wool demand increases rapidly as towns grow. Apart from any other considerations, moving people off land also creates large areas where landowners can indulge a passion for hunting. While this generates little income, it does give social status."
