Food Problems

[Jonathan.rde]

I have Food problems. My people need Meat and vegetables to grow. But i cant produce enough vegetables and i cant settle new citys because i dont have enough people! How do you manage this guys ??

If its solo play, then something might of gone wrong. If its multiplayer, then starving might lead to agriculture that lets you basically create farms,as long as you have enough of the vegi's to plant them.

If you don't have agriculture yet, then you are supposed to be short on food. Once you get agriculture, you can create more crops and feed your porcos.

I was in the same situation. Luckily an event popped up where some carrots were found. Had to quickly annex some fields. Now I am waiting for some barbarians to have apples or wheat so I can get those going to.

If you have agriculture, create fields for your gathering camp( 1 camp : 12-14 fields, depends on the workforce usage). you will get 1.1-1.3 food production per camp.
Build more camp like this will help you out for the food problem.

Old thread, but same problem.

My girl and I play on local multiplayer mode.

Some questions:
1. Is it better for Gathering Camps to have only ONE vegetable? Will you get a production bonus or the like?
2. We're still not into copper, but is it even possible to gather more then 1.8 or 2.0 per camp? My city holds 444 people and they demand 16 from each vegetable. That's 8 camps MINIMUM to feed one desire; 24 manpower just for that. Seems kinda unbalanced imho.

early agri like 80% of your pop is going to be farmers thats normal. Once you get barter then coinage then copper to upgrade it becomes like 20% and only gets smaller from there. It is normal.
