Are you completely oblivious? How does this NOT effect my gameplay? I spent over a month getting my army, and now out of the blue they take away one of the MAJOR aspects of what I knew as this game... and my army can simply NOT be fed! I've farmed every target within 40 miles of my cities, and wiped them all completely clean. Yesterday I made 5 barb cities just to start helping to feed my army and though all was well, but NO! I had that rug pulled right from under my feet.

Now, at my armies expense, My troops are slowly going to starve to death until I'm back at positive food production.


That doesn't seem like a slap in the face to you? This destroys not only my gameplay, but what I have come to know as this game! I have spent the last month building my army, plundering cities, plundering NPC's... and now all of a sudden they decide they don't want anyone to have an army larger then what your city can provide for?



Get this:

If New York City was COMPLETELY shut off from the outside world, the food reserves would empty in 48 hours. Research it. Is it not realistic to believe that given proper strategy and coordination, ones army can survive on more then just the PRODUCTION of the farms in their city? Come on...
