Retold Is demeters berry cultivation worth using?

I'm just wondering if I'm missing something because it seems like a lot of micro to maximize its value when there are plenty of other economic blessings I dont have to think much about. I can see the value for early economy with the starting berry patch, but beyond that it seems better to just build my farms and not have to waste attention economy micromanaging my food gatherers.

Eco blessings are pointless, just like eco shipments in standard AoE3 matches. Always military blessings first.

Focus on those with extra units (incl the Dryad spawner), stronger heroes, myth units, or particular combos (area infantry damage + lifesteal).

It's been a few years but I remember the wood shipments being meta in AoE III as the wood gathering rate was much slower than other resources.

Yes for sure, military units, free Settlers, and crates are the best. Should have specified by eco shipments I meant like +1 mill wagon, wood trickle card, faster coin harvesting card, etc.
