Should we rename Foragers

You can talk about anything here, not necessarily game-related. You may also advertise here.

Farms is better. New people coming to the game find it easier that way to know what makes the food.

As well as it makes a lot more sense...

Farms is a much better name for them... Whenever I see foragers it makes me think of people not buildings...

The only problem I have is that "Foragers" isn't a structure. XD

It is a structure in the game, just not in English. Don't worry.

I voted for farms, because it's generaly easier to understand. However, I believe foragers to be the best thing to use in this spot, as it is self explanatory realy, to forage means to gather, so that's my opinion. Renaming it to farms makes it easier for new players to the game, but having it as foragers sounds more advanced. Well, IMO,
