Why does the "land" eat food?

I thought the food consumption is based around population. It clearly doesn't.

Huh? It IS based around population. Why do you think your food production jumps back up when you lose troops?

Hey Spaceminnow,

Territory doesn't "eat" food outside of the initial population fee, but the more villagers you have the more food will be being eaten. Possible you missed some population increase while expanding your territory?

The observation I made my population was about 18. I looked at the food and it was hearty and healthy. The more territory I took I noticed food became a problem.

LAND EATS FOOD.

I was happy to leave the pop at 18 in that game. The game doesn't allow it. It appears population must grow with new territory.

News territories give happiness who speed up the generation of news villagers. You want more informations about your food income? Put your mouse on.

I think what happened is that you fight to clean the territory you want and when you back your army on your territory the healers stop harvest food to heal your troops.

In this situation if you do a bad move and are realy low on food it can be better to keep your army out of you territory to let you healers harvest more food and not reach 0. If you reach 0 food, people will become sick and will work less, healer will need to heal sick people and you will have a very big penalty of happiness which will further decrease the production of your villagers.

If you don't see that coming you are realy in the *** and the last move you can do is stop production of all not necessary villagers to put them on food.
