Gold Mine (Celtic)

The Gold Mine is a Celtic economy building in Age of Empires Online. 
PvP Values which are different are put in brackets ().
== Overview ==
*Built on top of an existing Gold Mine.
*Trickles Gold at the rate of villagers garrisoned inside.
*Garrisons up to 20 villagers.
*Provides bonus Gold conservation (50% in PvE, 20% in PvP)
** There may be times where you might prefer for a gold mine to run out quickly, e.g gold mines close to the enemy base (so they have to resort to caravans earlier).
**In Champion Mode, the Gold Rush technology grants another 20% conservation (+5 Villager garrison capacity), while all regular gold gathering technologies grant +15%. With Pickaxe, this puts the total at 55%.
*Prevents other villagers from mining the gold resource.
*Is destroyed once the Gold Mine has been depleted.

==Tips==
*Unlike a storehouse, villagers may sometimes not automatically enter the Gold Mine after its completed. It's even a drop-off point for regularly mined gold, which can result in villagers starting to gather gold from another nearby gold mine instead.
*Although all civilisations have gold conservation in Champion Mode, lessening this benefit in comparison, Celts still come out ahead even compared to those who have access to Hydraulic Mining (+45% total). They are tied with Romans, which have the advantage in Bronze Age.
* Since the gold is mined as a steady trickle, Wheelbarrow and Hand Cart don't have the usual side effect of longer gathering cycles for little to no gain.
*Provides a measure of protection from enemy raids, being much sturdier than a storehouse and shielding the villagers from harm.
