I am sorry for you man, that sucks.
Is it possible that the gold abuser is the reason for your food shortages being crippling?
You mentioned having a comfortable lead in military strength. Might normal conditions have allowed for a better expansion?

Right and so if in addition to the additional food provinces , all provinces (if recovered from war) produced a small net positive amount per my previous post as well , then this would be mitigated somewhat?

With 600VP in the pocket and so many more provinces and thus a well developped economy, you should be able to beat any goldspammer on your own Now at 140 provs and have 3rd largest army on 100map....and not a trace of moral issues nor food problems yet, while 90% of my grain provs are not even developed beyond lvl1 roads (and not even all of them)noblepeasant wrote:
I quit at 600 VP because of an abusive gold user.
On another (22player) map I have 248 provinces from North Africa to the North Pole and going into Florida, without a trace of a food issue and (after having moved my capital) only fortresses built in North Africa, again getting all my provs up to 99 or 100%
In 6 days he went from inactive to 14% of the worlds military might (while i was previously in first place at 8% with a comfortable margin). Each province he took he simply purchased level 5 forts + all other buildings. He purchased every single research upgrade available. And he was actively deleting air bases out from underneath me.
He used gold to reveal troop locations, and started posting this information in the newspaper.
I had 8 subs in the water between alaska and russia. When it became obvious he was massing troops to invade, i started sinking convoys. In response, he build a level 5 IC, a level 3 air base, a level 3 fort, naval base, 25 naval bombers, and about 20 ships to kill my subs.
When he saw that I had an airforce, he rushed 35 fighters and 30ish AAs, all max research level in addition to the rest of his army.
While i controlled basically all of north america, fringe provinces (alaska) were simply lined with air bases to allow connectivity for my airforce to bomb landing zones. I denied the first round of landings.... So he started deleted airbases out form underneath me.. my 55 TACS and 35 INTs are now worthless.. it's an 8-9 hour march backwards to the next air base.... which he then deletes.
Now his landing in alaska is uncontested, and he can continue to spam forts and units. Continued gold use like this will defeat any non-gold user's army regardless of the size.

My army (100 planes, 100 ground units on day 20) consumed about 10k food per day.
My civilians (600 VP) consumed 34k.
I produced 35k per day.
I had ICs upgradning on core food provinces with infastructure maxed, ICs building on all double food provinces (infastructure maxed) and infastructure at various levels of upgrade on each food province in north america.

BTW, starting to have moral issues now, with provinces not going 70%, but that still yields more food than it costs, especially if well developed. In short, not having food issues and never had (except 1 or 2 of my first games)
