Population food upkeep

saadht

Undead population eats, but combat units don't.

I feel like my population eats a lot.

Being able to starve your population was a nice perk of old thardferr. New thardferr is more humanitarian and children don’t have to walk over the corpses of their parents to go to work. We’re going to have much smaller armies than we have memories of having.

The current state is just different than we remember.

For my point to be understood, i guess i have to just wait for someone to complain about sending their 90% of 0.5 GH troops to be wiped clean by a 1-1.5 GH kingdom who is being fed from outside.

4:1 house is pretty standard for initial protection. Has nothing to do with keeping up with the shortened techs. Building 1:1 market is. Since you have no outside threats under initial protection you max your mill mine to fill more lands. Maxing mill mine means you need lots of population therefore houses.

A kingdom with 40 land and 0.4 full gh is stronger than a kingdom 20 land and 0.8 full gh

saadht if you are running 4:1, either use a condom or up your farms to 1.25:1, you have the power to feed your people, you're not North Korea...

Ya again here maybe there is something to during initial protection the rules are different, your kingdom can’t be fucked with by outsiders so maybe everyone is either fucking a lot more or they eat less because they don’t have to worry about the cruel hard winter while in protection… so we can increase pop growth and reduce food consumption or reliance on a stockpile it’s kind of like hand holding through a tutorial on the game it will make it more friendly to new players also. But a slightly rude awakening when you break prot and you have an extra 2k food per tick you need to account for…

Xliest I am having a hard time understanding why your food deficiency is such a problem. I find myself constantly adjusting my buildings accordingly. Not seeking perfect harmony of 1:1 but rather finding the balance between what I want to do and maintaining a positive econ. I suggest decreasing something to build a few more farms as the 60 per is highly effective and 120 per is just to assist with poor community planning/war.

Jets I’m not worried about it I’m just brainstorming ideas building off of others suggestions. I’m not hard set into giving more food, I can adapt to it I’m just looking for a direction to move, I don’t mind it being back forward left or right but let’s make changes take chances, make mistakes, fix them, and start again. We aren’t going to get it perfect on the first attempt no matter what anyone has to say about there are parts of the old game that even I dont remember. But if we want to baseline a game to use as a model for change the og game is a pretty good place to start, don’t you agree?

Jets

Xliest yes I agree to set the baseline. I believe that irrigation should have a second tech that takes 300 days and increases food by 10. And then another one that takes 450 days and increases food by 5. Mostly because if we want the rounds to last several months. Happy to have more techs
