Pah!
You are all fools. You are all wrong.
Farming has got nothing to do with collecting resources in the most economical manner. Only major league nubz think that.
Likewise the other definitions you nibwads have given are wrong as well.
The only correct use of farming refers to the collection of skulls.
At the Bear Empire we are all Vikings, we pillage and we raid, we destroy and we kill, we put all to the sword and we stand around laughing, drinking mead and falling over as our enemies' villages burn.
And what are the fruits of our labour? Why, simple, its HUMAN SKULLS!
Which we then make into skull cups.
Yes. We collect the heads of our enemies (battle axes come in very handy for separating the heads from their previous owner's bodies). We then cleave off the top of the skulls, scoop out the brains, block the eye sockets with wax, and drink MEAD from them. Yup. The benefits of this are obvious. After enough Mead has been drunk you can then have an entire conversations with the skull, who always listens respectfully, never back-chats, and can be made to agree with every word you say by merely tipping it back and forth in a nodding motion.
The value of such conversations can be shown by evidence of my recent exploits.
Mike$: "Shall we attack that village with two xbows, black walls, bk, aq, maxed cannons, mortars, archer towers, wizzie towers, and enough empty spots to indicate the presence of powerful teslas?"
Skull: "Sure, GO FOR IT!" (nods vigorously, spilling some mead)
mike$ "Its only got 10k of gold and elixir and only enough de to make one minion, and its highly likely I wont even win"
Skull: " Ah, but are there any villagers there whose skulls are worth taking?" (rocks back a little, looks pensive)
mike$ " Well yeah, all the time, as usual"
Skull: "THEN BY THOR ATTACK! SKULLS ARE WAITING TO BE FARMED!" (suddenly rocks forward and fixes me with those empty eye sockets)
mike$ "More mead?"
Skull: "Yes thanks, fill me up" (nods)
As a result of such sage advice I keep collecting skulls. I have many now. I put them around my room and have little chats with them before I go to bed. They watch over me while I sleep. I had a hard time sleeping at first because they like to talk among themselves a lot, I hear them as I am drifting off to sleep. I am sure they talk about me when I am asleep, call me names and poke fun at me. I used to wake up suddenly, sure they were planning something, but they would all go quiet and act like nothing was happening. I just ignore it now. One day I will fill them up with some Chardonnay, hah! That will show them who is boss!
