the point you're trying to make is what exactly? youre not arguing that the ratio of consumption is inaccurate you're arguing that the rate of consumption is inaccurate.
you've based this argument on the assumption that 1 unit of food = 1 lbs of food... an assumption you came up with solely to give you a way to argue the rate of consumption
at the end of the day you're asking for a lower consumption rate, you want your troops to eat less food


I made 1 = 1lb after reserching the normal consumption of humans
EXACTLY you MADE 1 unit = 1lb because you realize that based on the normal consumption of humans using that scale would make evony's numbers inaccurate thus giving you an argument to have them lower consumption rates
well... what if i decide to "make" 1 unit = 1 centigram
hmm... i think evony should increase consumption rates to make them more historically accurate. EVONY MAKE MY TROOPS EAT MORE FOOD!!!


if 1 unit ='s say 5lbs then the math is way off.
ok, say 1 unit ='s say .0001 lbs, what then?

Yes this is true but is accounted for in the food required to march your troops into battle
Actually shows how much you know about this game... the "march consumption" is actually something that is off because it doesn't take into account the true march time (techs, relief station, ect) so youre troops are actually eating way more than they should

Yes I did, however Phract do not walk around a pasture with armor on
what about when they're training?

All original arguments are inherantly flawed, but as usual instead of people attempting to mold an idea, you are bitter that you dont have original thoughts of your own, As for my food ratio, it is a historically accurate number based on reserch made by many scientific organizations in an effort to judge the food consumption arc over the years
thank you for admitting your arguments are flawed, can we move on now?
im not bitter at all. your food ratio is not a "historically accurate number". the only number that has any research behind it is that the average human will eat 2lbs of food/day. the ratio is something you pulled out of your rear-end. the ratio of 1 unit : 1 lbs is not a "historically accurate number" so don't try to make that claim
also please refer to my last comment...

at the end of the day this is a GAME and the ratios and #s were chosen to serve the game and not give a realistic representation of real life.
