Can't Bytro just add..

... the option to sow crop on 'Plains' or create agriculture in order to make more food. Maybe even add options to drill for oil and rare.

But most importantly there need to be done something about food shortage on 100 player map. This can't continue like this. My food production is dropping and dropping more and more into the negative as I invade more lands.

Or just do the easy fix and adjust the balance. NOW!

Ja. I agree.

I do like the idea of farm buildings (such as those in Thirty Kingdoms)

mrgreeen4567 · Dec 2nd 2015, 5:02am

Yes this is a great idea and what about different environment like plain: dessert or Plains:Grass land and depending on the environment you could build different buildings

Doesn't have to be more complicated than building something that produces extra food (turns a province into a food province)

Too overpowered, this would solve a person's food problems almost instantly. It would need some balancing.

Sure, only certain provinces can be enabled for agriculture.. and it should be expensive..

Okay, good. I thought you meant, say, Washington D.C. to be able to be turned into a grain province... with max building IC already...

wildL SPQR · Dec 4th 2015, 12:00am

No I was thinking only plains or some plains provinces to be able to make food provinces

purplepizza117 · Dec 4th 2015, 12:01am

I agree with you.

As much that there ideas and suggestions to resolve the food production imbalance, it feels like very little / nothing is been done about it.

because ... there is nothing to be done about it, except starting to handle your country properly.

Except for my first 1 or 2 games, I have never-ever-ever-ever experienced food problems. And I guarantee you, I play the same maps in the very same game called Call of War.

Now, how is it possible that I do not ever have a food problem, but win maps constantly (see stats: losing some 10% of my conquered provinces) and you guys do have that problem?

There is NO food problem. Not even in the 100 player map.

The only problem there is, is your play-style and accompanying lacking country management!

purplepizza117 · Dec 9th 2015, 7:52pm

I have successfully managed my country in all of my 100-Player Maps to be plus 200 food every time and plus 400 oil every time, which is awesome. So, I agree it is play style sometimes.

Thank you for your contribution!

*sighs of relief*

purplepizza117 · Dec 10th 2015, 2:20am

Haha, yep.

Now to the complainers:

It is by now proven by many 'good' players, that there is NO FOOD PROBLEM

Now that you know this:
a. read-up on the threads
b. digest the information given by those that don't have food problems
c. learn from that
d. implement sound development policies for your country

wildL SPQR · Dec 15th 2015, 9:35am

This is so stupid, there ARE food issues.

The issue is that non-core with barracks or damaged barracks consume extra food than a province without barracks. The only way to get rid of this is to bomb the barracks away. NO it does not help to switch the barracks off, province will still consume 200,500 or 1000 extra food compared to a province without barracks and depending on barracks level, switching barracks off has no effect on this. Look in info on the province with barracks and compare to one without. (both noncore)

Food problems also depends on which country you play.

For instance Egypt has 1 double food province and two normal. Some countries only have one double or two normal making it MUCH more difficult.

TwistedSister · Dec 15th 2015, 11:38am

Oh hi!

We're working on it, but we totally can't decide which sort of seeds we want to introduce - flowers? "Exotic herbs"? Or ... spinach, because it makes you big and strong? So hard to decide... if you could just feel my pain!

Also, should we introduce ponies or chicken coops first? Maybe we should make it poll on it. But then again, the struggle with the name: Call of Farmville? Call of Crops? Your guess is as good as mine.

TS.

(jk. We've REALLY been working on it.)

I really hope you dont dumb this down just because people is incapable of managing their countries properly.

WildL,

The (not) turning off of consumption by barracks or harbours is a different issue.

Further, even on the 100 player map, a number of players keeps the food problems well under control.
Now, if they can, the rest can too. That is simple logic. It does require a lot of attention and input though ... on the 100 player map.
And concerning the smaller maps, really, there absolutely is not even a shimmer of a problem, except that players don't accept to work on their food issues.

The food in the game is not the problem persé. The attitude towards it, is.
