Thread: Playing with 0 food without repercussions. For weeks.

  1. #1

    Default Playing with 0 food without repercussions. For weeks.

    As the title says, I have been scouting one person who stole my hero (from scouting). Anyways when I killed all his scouts I noticed he had 0 food, and hundreds of thousands of archers & warriors. I checked from stats and he only has one city (very odd) so no city transfers. I have been scouting him for 2 weeks and he still has 0 food, 90% loyalty and still has all his troops that defend from attacks.

    How can this be possible? Did Envoy disable refuge camp?? (I did some digging and some people mentioned that). That is totally unfair if you can just sit with 0 food without repercussions. I have -1mil on couple of my towns and have to farm my butt off to feed my troops.

    Would like some feed back from knowledgeable player and Envoy staff. How long do you have on 0 food until your troops hit refuge camp?

    If it is a bug it should be fixed.

    Maybe his food rate is exactly 0. That would be very hard to get, but I suppose it's possible. So as food is produced its immediately consumed. I think you'd still see numbers jumping back and forth though.

    1. If food is at 0 you cannot dispatch troops. They will just sit in your city. You cannot send them anywhere.
    2. It is not unfair because everyone can do it.
    3. It is possible that, as Red Squirrel said the player may ask for other alliance members to send him food. In which case it is consumed quickly. So when you scout it you always see 0.
    4. If the player only has 1 city with zero food then that player is STUCK. They cannot send troops anywhere, build anything or do nothing because food is at 0. So maybe they are waiting for you to kill off the troops so food will go back to positive. So, if your city is at 0 food then you run the risk of locking yourself in a box and not being able to build, send troops or do anything.

    So with 0 food you cannot play. You are stuck in "I can't do anything" land...

    Yeah, good point. But if they didn't build a market..... ouch...

    lolz imagine a box
    now imagine being outside the imaginary box
    now try thinking....
    confused?
    get back in the box....
    The idea of life is not to arrive at ones grave safely...
    But to hurl oneself at deaths gate with contempt in a body that can take no more....


    But where does this Death guy live? coords if you have them...

    There are many possibilities.

    The most likely is he went idle.

    The consumption rate ate his food and his troops refugeed until break even stasis. (without bug)

    The consumption rate ate his food until it hit zero and the excess did not refugee. (with bug)

    Either way he should still have troops. Just build a rainbow force to colonize him and dont worry about it. You have had weeks.

    Other possibilities out there but complicated and probably not happening with a 1 city, low prestige player.

    If its Age II, troops do not refuge.
