Hours and hours of farming isn't very enticing to any players age 1 or age 2 i know i dont enjoy it but thats what suiciding half your army is for
The goal is to make it fun for players, and we don't think its fun for the players who are playing within the game rules when others are able to out-pace them in food production.

As JapanPimp said, your troops will never refuge or die of starvation in Age II, so players won't lose troops either way.
