That is soo true, that is why when i jumped in on one of this the server, i jump with accumalting food first in mind, it was all about food, sell excess resources for food, buy food with gold. etc The problem is, even billions don't last very long onces you recruit a massive army. You lose food in recruiting, you lose food in maintaining, you get hit twice from food.

I think the food consumption should increase during active war such as on the march where food concumption can tripple.
Also a palyer should be able ot assign his choice a CAPITAL CITY that is uncapturable with 3/4 reduction in food consumtion plus tripple the poppulation.

Food has been the biggest issue for both the defender and the attacker.
If you are concern about being attack by players with huge army, don't worry you can also be attack by multiple players from 1 or multiple alliances which is even far worse than 1 player with a huges army.
