Server 1 it's at 0.2, up from 0.07ish
Server 5 hasn't seen much of a change, if any.

I think this sums it up darn nice, thanks Devs
Food will skyrocket =(
You can buy lots now then sell it at a higher price
How on earth do you sell it later?
Army eats it, really fast.
isnt it obvious that he's not one of those with large army? hence he is able to do so.
I think my army would starve, long before food dropped in price.
Server 2 is at .2 / food now. Up from .04 yesterday (and .11 this morning when I bought like 50 mil :P)
Server 3 @ .11 now from .04 yesterday...
Price isn't that important, why? Because if I need a lot of wheat, means I have a large army, and if you are selling, means you don't. I'm going to give you my gold, and them come to you and take it right back.
This is the only even remotely valid point made on the topic.
The problem here though is the reasoning of the markets will rise based solely on the "nerf." This may be true in the short term as player with mega armies struggle to feed their troops, but that will change when it becomes a losing battle. Armies will consolidate adn shrink. Prices will return to normal.
Server 5, food was 0.01 this morning.....0.038 ish now. Did flip up to just short of 0.1 for a while, and I made a nice profit on my investment, thank you very much mini stock market :)
No, they wont. You are foolish to think it will drop back down to excessive supply level prices. Do you know anything about economics? Or do you just think everyone is going to delete over 90 percent of their armies?
Yea, except when you actually have an army that needs food you will be paying out of the ass for it.
Yes, BUT THAT WONT REDUCE THE DEMAND AND HIGH PRICES FOR FOOD.
Adding a smiley doesn't change reality or supply and demand. Scarcity breeds high prices and insatiable demand. Insatiable demand breeds even higher prices.
At this current rate, the resources in the game are going to burn themselves out until no one can attack anything because no one will have the army size to take even on wall fortifications.
I think you misunderstand. My army will not starve off, I have significant stores of food for such an event as this, and I have no intention of having my army idle around waiting to starve or for prices to drop. But for anybody without a sizable army, making one is going to be that much more difficult, you have successfully raised the bar for them. Nobody close to me is going to either, because now I want their wheat and their valley where I previously left them alone, because all I wanted was their honor.
food up to .35 on server 1:(
Holding steady at about .22 on server 2, people actually seem to be selling food right now to make a profit, which I think is keeping prices low for now.
You lack the intelligence to comment of the issues of economy and supply and demand. Please refrain from spouting your ignorance any further.
And even though you won't understand it when I explain it to you in simple terms, I'll try anyways.
As people can't keep massive armies fed, resources will be invested into a more worthwhile investment, wall defenses. As everyones walls become behemoth fortresses, the lack of any large armies will insure no large players can ever be touched. Once all the small players have been picked off, there will be nothing left to do in the game but sit around building more defenses because no one is going to waste their troops trying to attack walls they can't possibly defeat.
Now, get the **** out of this thread.
Your stores of food won't last forever. You won't be able to farm NPCs anymore to keep your supplies up and you won't be able to farm other people because they can't farm NPCs to keep their supplies up.
Now, as you kill off the smaller players, less and less supply of food will be available to you. Then what? You sit in your little desert island of victory with nothing to do but twirl your thumbs while your food supplies slowly run out?
It doesn't matter how strong you are if there isn't enough food to support your army.
The game will devolve into sparsely dotted areas of mega cities who can still manage to farm their NPCs by shutting everyone else out.
