So the FULL maximum is now 100? I think maybe the high upkeep might only still go to 90, so in other words it only applies to about a ten unit of food difference now. To be honest, I agree with ABF. I liked it before. The better solution might have been to make peasents and peons only take up half a unit of food. That way this fix to allow for more harvesting as they say wouldn't have such major ramifications across the board. Sure, the food cap reduces the infamous battles from previuos games to skirmishes of two small gangs of people meeting each other, but I loved those skirmishes!
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
