Farmer - A unit that can build farms that can be used as a supply building.
My idea is to make this unit produce crops and livestock from farms that can increase maximum health or so.
My suggestion of stats:
Farmer
Produced at: Towns.
Cost: 2
Hp: 8
att: 3
spd: 3
armor: 0/0
Sight: 4
Mental res: none
Bonuses:

Can build:
Farm, Moats, trenches and swamps.
Upon building Farm consumes the unit.

Farm stats:
Hp: 14
Armor: 0/3
sight: 3
carry: 1
Produces:
Livestock (4) and Harvest (3).

Livestock effects: additional 4 max hp and 1 att is given to the flesh and blood unit for 4 turns. Can be used as payment for mercenaries.
Crops effects: additional 2 max hp is given to the flesh and blood unit for 3 turns.

Perhaps the effects can be stacking.
Livestock and crops cannot be added to the population.

Is intressting,tell more about.

i don't have anything more to say for this unit.
Just a supply unit or so. Im just waiting for opinions if there are.

I really like this idea, a combo of blacksmith and carts. Well i prefer a percent increase than a definite numbers.
Like 30%,20% and 15%,10%. So the buff can be comparable to actual stats and it wont give scout birds , dogs, spies , a +4 hp and don't be a shame for elephants.

Cost 4
Hp 16
Att 0

And
Livestock cost 7 crop cost 4
If the farm is too much , and insane production and spams could occur at such low cost. And once enough farms are setup, the cost wont be a problem.( a harvest might get longer than training a warrior for sure)

And i want to add
Passive aura
PLENTY SATISFIED
Units within the aura range gets 1.5 heal bonus
Rng 2

A new unit
Hay stack(what remains from seasonal crop harvest is all hay, but poor farmers made a way to sell that too!)
Cost 3
(Img idea, a rough man pushing a hay stack )
Hp 16
Arm 0/4 (hay stack that large might prevent some arrows hitting the farmer)
Speed 2
When near mounted units, by using ability 'feed' heals 5 hp and grants +2 p.arm for a turn.
(And finally , the production cannot be speed up by money couriers and valuables, money wont get past needed time to grow).

Livestock images can be cows or sheep with a small man in it.
For the harvest items, they can just be a cart with wheat or other vegetables, no human required like the minecarts.

And for this, hay stack would be large and won't fit in a cart , chill i can handle the img with a farmer in it. (At least the farmer is consumed so he can periodically get outside of his farm to get this hay stack to army.

Like this

Good image, perhaps it only needs some shading.

Crop feed icon

Veggie cart, its green and fresh

Veggie feed icon

Watch the enemies dripping from their mouth. Cause food grade cart with cooked meat is on the way to battle field

Meat feed

Phew , a lot of hard work.🥵🥱

All looks nice. I also like what you did with the veggie cart.
What's left is the Farm.

I gave Farmer a quick edit if you don't mind.

🥶

Kiddy doodle time.
This is what i tried for a farm with all these recipes.
I got some cows, a chicken, some pumpkin plants and a few hay stacks.
I know it looks aweful, but my imaginations were restricted by a 32x32.

I think i went back to my childhood where i draw my prestigious looking doodle houses which i was so proud of. ( probably like some age 5 or lower)
