Thread: Food Disappearing?

  1. #1

    Default Food Disappearing?

    Okay so for us older servers with bigger upkeeps, most of our food is either stored in valleys or sold then bought.

    For me, i like to store mine in local valleys but lately when I have been recalling my food, I will recall, switch to another city for literally a few seconds and when I come back to the other city the food is either gone or still showing but 'insufficient resources' appears when trying to queue even though i have recalled a few hundred million from my valley.

    Last night I was preparing for an attack and recalled 700million food from a valley. I waited for it to come back and in the mean time I was moving scouts around to make them undraftable. I clicked back to my war city where the food just got back from the valley and it shows 702million food, then a second later drops too 300million food within a couple seconds with a minus 124million upkeep. This is not the only occurance. This has happened alot over the last 1-2 weeks with me and my friends. I am not sure if this is happening on other servers older or newer but it is happening on mine and costing me a whole lot of time to re-cooperate my losses!


    [Alliance]<02:31>[Pitts]: nice ty evony
    [Alliance]<02:31>[Pitts]: 900 mil food gone in 30 secs

    I thought I would make a thread when i realised I wasn't the only one! So I asked around and its happening all over my server!

    I didnt want to send of a ticket to evony to get an automated response, i thought it would better for everyone to comment on here and see if this is game-wide....Thanks

    i have a pretty big upkeep, and ive got to say that keeping food in valleys seems like a really dumb idea because your upkeep is doubled for troops in a valley

    EDIT: saw where u said drafted troops idk about age2 but age 1 bad idea to store res in valleys

    yeve got rats lol

    but seriously that sucks, when ive to go away for a while i do store food in valleys too. and mechhead in age2 you can store food in valleys while your account has 0 food whatsoever. a risk its true, an enemy could come along and slaughter the troops there, but its one worth taking sometimes

    in age2 there is no refuge
    you can store all your available food in valleys because even though the troops eat a lot of what you have in stores they don't eat what they carry
    normal players have a lot of carts and move their food out of the city into a nearby low level valley while they're off line

    maybe this is another improvement to age2

    Mech, there is still upkeep, you just can't refuge. If you don't have food, you can't send out attacks, and can't train. It's just as annoying as refuge. Just not as devestating for your defences.

    troop upkeep is the same as age1 (as far as i know)
    but once you run out of food, you're just out of food
    if you load carts up with all they can carry and reinforce a valley the upkeep doubles but they only eat the food in the city, not what they carry

    so if you have 10 mill food in some valley you would have plenty to send out your farmers even if all your food was gone in the city

    age2 also has facebook food gifts that can get your farmers out but when it comes to training troops they just aren't big enough to make a dent in the required bill for filling the racks

    age2 upkeep is actually half of what age1 upkeep is (100k archers in age1 = 800k upkeep, in age2 100k archers is 400k upkeep), furthermore you reduce age2 upkeep by 50% Via the hungry no more buff from facebook, add a vesta or one of the special promotion buffs to that and you have 0 upkeep.
    Also when sitting with 0 food any reinforcements sent to you will bounce and return to sender.

    At the OP.....Lewis I have ran 0 upkeep for a long time and even way back I noticed strange food burns when putting food in 1 city while the rest of the cities were without food, my suspicions are that upkeep is more that what you think it may be when it this situation but its most likely a glitch that evony will ignore forever.

    i didn't want to further confuse the age1 player but yeah it's even more complicated
