Thread: Bring Back Barbarian Farming - Our Troops Are Starving!!!!

    Unhappy Bring Back Barbarian Farming - Our Troops Are Starving!!!!

    hi dudes.. as we all know price of food has gone up more than 10 fold as of today, we're unable to feed our armies given the crappy regen time and great defences of the NPCs. for myself my troops will have to start eating each other within 2 weeks. I would like to ask for ppl who support:
    1: The imposing of a price cap on food
    2: NPCs sell food in the market
    3: Bringing back of barb farming
    4: Lowering the CRAZY food consumption rate of units ( i SWEAR its crazy).
    ( if u guys have more ideas to add feel free )
    please sign on this thread. to developers: the game was more play-able during beta ( minus the dissappearing troop bug)
    Thank you.

    please lower consumption. why would my mechanics eat when they are idle? their operators are on holiday. why do my workers eat when they don't work?

    I'm no longer having that much trouble keeping mine fed... though, I can't go on vacation or to work now... and if I have to drop a deuce, I bring my laptop with me... farming lvl 3's, 4's and 5's 24/7 is a pain... but everything is working as intended!

    /sarcasm off.

    I feel ya bro... but that's not the answer. At first, I was outraged.. but after my initial impulse to sit in the darkened corner of my room, (listening to the cure, putting on black nail polish and mascara, writing poetry about razor blades and monkeys,) had subsided, I decided to adapt and overcome. This is just another challenge to work past and sort out.

    In fat times, I send food to my alliance members who need it.
    In lean times, they help me out.

    It's an online game, with alliances and members.. I suggest you reach out.

    All the best...

    1. the idea is just insane
    2. Right up there with NPC cities coming out to plunder your cities
    3. there are actually good and sound reasons for what they did, and that it makes things difficult for you is just something you have to live with. or quit, and let us plunder you...
    4. Now that is actually a good idea. Imagine if troops use half their current amount of food while sitting around town, and twice the current amount they use while on campaign, or defending a valley.

    the downside to #4 is that it will encourage people to keep their armies at home, because of the food cost to sending them out. make for a whole new dynamic.

    I've kind of seen the food consumption as a sort of salary, too. I mean, we're not paying the soldiers gold, so maybe we're giving them food to feed their families with instead. Mechanicals don't eat food, sure, but I guess their operators get payment for being on active stand-by should you need them on short notice.
    It's all Rodri's fault.

    1: yea i know its insane XD
    2: that would be nice eg lvl 10 npc will attack ppl with prestige 200k n above every 48 hours (free honor ^^)
    3: perhaps u have never gotten a negative 5 million food prdn rate. yea u can try to plunder me they disabled barb farming which just means we'll have to farm dudes with prestige 3 to 4 times less than ours.. hence scaring away new evony players that could spend money on cents.. thus a loss of revenue for the devs
    yeap just my 2 cents worth ^^ peace out! XD
