| Resource Overview | History |
Horses are one of the 31 rare resources. They appear as a group of four namesake horses (Equus caballus) with white, pinto and bay coats.
Overview[]
Like with all rare resources on land, Horses can be gathered by sending a Merchant from the Market to the resource location. Horses provide the following benefits:
- +10
Food gather rate - +10 Metal gather rate
- Base cost of Stable and Auto Plant units reduced by 15%.
- The discount does not apply to ramping costs. It also does not apply to ramping costs on unit upgrades (upgrading multiple units to a more expensive unit provides exactly the same discount as if you had no units and researched the upgrade).
The gather rate of rare resources can be increased in various ways, as described in the main article. Note that 
Metal is not gathered until a nation has entered the 
Classical Age and linking a Horses resource while still in the 
Ancient Age might not provide the full benefit.
