Can we talk about food?

Mack10

Just thinking, would a Spell be a better idea for this?
24 hour spell length "Fertilizer" or "Dietary restrictions" that makes food not eaten as much by peasants?

You could use Wood to Food as it has probably never been casted in this entire round (Iron to gold either lol).

Lord Thane

Mack10 actually i2g was bugged out for a little while and needed to get nerfed. Keeper converted something like 1k iron to 600k gold lol

Wood to food is such a useless spell, unless you can cast it against a gnome 😭

Sweglord

Growing crop to a 12 hour duration also would be nice

Mack10

Lord Thane I dont know when that was bugged, I used it last round and converted 750 iron to 4500 gold.....

I dont think you can cast it on offence, just like I -> G. That would devistate some KD's

TheKeeper

Mack10 I tried in my dev environment, 4:1 schools, elf, max tech, now is capped at up to 102 gold per iron

Keep it on topic here guys please… will we be getting a 12:1 peasants/food fix or will it be gated by tech?

I would prefer the 12:1 just happen for everyone. It makes no sense to add more tech at this point… let’s get our ducks in a row for next round.

I think it's a cool idea to drop food consumption, though I do feel like it disproportionately helps me more. Like @Jets says, I just balance it into my build, but as Thane says, it's less about the food and more about the reconfiguration of buildings. And I'm all for it.

I also love @Mack10 's idea of having a spell, basically the opposite of Freeze, where all food consumptions are 0, call it King's Feast. Since many people want casters to be useful and specialized, this could be for them only, like Freeze is.
