Description:
Introduction

Horse Ranches is a mod that adds a new peasant building that allows horses to be produced without an R.G.O. in certain climates.
The horse ranches consume grain(either wheat, corn, or sturdy grains) as supplemental feed for the horses, and lumber for building and maintaining fences.

Purpose

Large swathes of the planet do not have any horse R.G.Os and are unable to obtain them through the Colombian Exchange. This can lead to a massive shortage of horses in certain markets, which causes countries that were historically able to raise their own horses to be left without. This mod allows those countries to obtain reliable access to horses, even if the amount is not economically significant.

Valid Climates

– Oceanic
– Continental
– Mediterranean

Research

– The horse ranch is unlocked through the Ranching advance.

Economics and Balance

– Horse ranches are limited to rural locations, and each has a maximum level of one.
– They are decently profitable, but only in areas where horses are in short supply, so they shouldn’t affect game balance very much.
– The AI should eventually build these on their own if their markets are unable to obtain horses through other means.
