Curious to see the results of this. It seems to me that not very much food is actually being used, which is interesting.
Probably has something to do with the ponies selling all that food at 15 bux
No, I mean that not very much is being consumed. It doesn't matter much what is being sold, people need to eat to some extent. Just curious where people are actually getting it.
I buy what I can from mercs and I buy the rest from the PM with 15% foragers. 15 bob food standard from bots has ruined any farmers this round to be fair but its nice to have a supply whenever i need it. concentrating about 70% food production and 30% cash helps aswell now we can balance it.
I got all my food from foragers when I was playing.
I never need to purchase more food than what I can get from mercs.
All from the foragers. You just need to know what the balance is
That's smart Durz, I can't get mine balanced right. I'm struggling with my foragers trying to get self sufficient.
Honestly it is situational based. If you need more food change your balance so you produce more food for a while and then switch back, or build more foragers.
Ya, I can see that. Right now I'm just spending like 400mil a run on food. lol.
send me your settings in game, I might be able to help
Wolves FTW!

Thanks but Pippin is fixing me up already, I'd like to keep my setting secret as it is from as many as possible even though they are jacked. If you wana see my account you'll just have to espy me.
But that only show what you have on the main page, not settings.
I know, I appreciate the offer but I hope you'll excuse me if I'm overcautious, especial given our recent history.
Nothing against you
Well if you are really trying to help then I appreciate it, but I don't know enough about this game to even know if there is a threat in you knowing my settings so I'm gona play it safe and just trust Pippin who is an old friend.
Wait, are you another brit? Awesome! :P
There isn't any threat in helping people with the basics. Most vets have their own tricks up their sleeve, but balancing your economy is basic stuff, so feel free to share it!

I'm not sure if you are talking to me but if you are then no, I'm American.
Then how do you know pippin.
He probably knows him ingame. ???
Old Internet friend
Is he the one that got you into RWL?
Negative.
*facepalm* right you were around a long time ago. Right?
yea, I left about 5 years ago. Me and Pippin were 11.
!! He told us about this I think .About a friend who got expelled for supposedly stealing a bike. Or are you a different person?
First time I heard of this one
Wait, what? I'm confused.....
About the bikes. Must not have been around to read.

I'm different, I live in America. I don't know Pippin in real life. I used to play this game about 5 years ago and me Pippin, and Firetooth were good friends. Shadow and I were kinda friends as well. Peace Alliance however I remember did not care for me at all. I think if you are old enough you can probably guess who I am now.
Nope. Only joined this game a year ago :P
No, I will have been around for a year next june

Well, I'm sure you're a far superior player than me. I've forgot so much than I'm only a small notch above a total noob.
Well turbo became what it is a couple months ago, so it is relativly new to everything else
Yea, it's so much different than what I remember. Is it generally being well received? I like it much better than reg simply because of the turn rate being quicker.
It's liked by a lot, except a certain few because it interferes with their domination ;).

Hahah
I was considering making a topic about this earlier actually, now that it is maturing a bit and people have had a chance to play with it. Is it an improvement?
I think so. It seems more like the books because workers are very important, and practically all the major, MAJOR warlords had workers to do their dirty work. It makes me fell important :P
