INPUT VALUES Miscellaneous Notes:
Type of Travois Plantation 1.) If trying to generate XP (for a particular strategy or to level), the gift dance is more profitable than spawning the most XP generating building, the plantation.  This of course does not include the fact that wood will be saved or the time spent gathering that wood.  It merely states that if a building is not needed, do not use the travois dance to generate XP.   
Travois time to walk to build location (sec) 10[4]
Wood Gathering Rate (Tech)   Base
2.) If the travois dance is used opposed to chopping wood, it is cheaper to generate most buildings than actually chopping wood depending on the wood gathering rate.  Never use a travois on a longhouse, market, or fire pit in order to save wood.  Building a dock or corral will only save wood if forest people ceremony (+40%) has not been researched and 25 dancers.  A War Hut is only profitable if forest spirit ceremony (+60%) has not been researched and 16 dancers or more.  A farm or plantation is always cheaper to spawn at fire pit opposed to building even researched deforestation.
[1]
NOTE:
Compares the same amount of villagers chopping wood vs. dancing the travois dance. 

Does not include build time or walk time since this must be done anyway if chopping / building.  Although the build times are longer without a travois. 
[2]
NOTE:
If used settlers to chop wood rather than dance the Gift Dance
[3]
NOTE:
Amount of XP gained using the Gift Dance rather than spawning travois buildings for the same amount of villagers dancing either dance in same time frame.
[4]
NOTE:
This is an assumed value of the time it takes for the travois to reach the building location from the fire pit.  Feel free to adjust.
