How the heck are we meant to produce the food we need?

from Elemental Forums

Surely I must be missing something, but Ive tried 2 games now, one as empire and another as kingdom, and they both go the same way. I build a garden in my city, which then lets me build a house.

Now my city can grow to level2. However now I cant build any more gardens, so no more houses, and my city is stuck.

I can build another city and build a garden in that, which lets me build another hut in my first city, but then Im stuck again.

 

I want to test this game properly, but I really cant do jack with my cities cripples like this.

 

Please tell me Im missing something and what it is. This cant be how the game is meant to be.

(Why I cant just build another garden escapes me)

I agree it's going to lead to torch and burn strategy. Just run in torch the crops and run away. Wonder what little units will be best for this strategy? Something invisible and fast?

BTW does this one have any multilayer maps like Age of Wonders Shadow Magic? or even Master of Magics ethereal realm? Magic Roads? stuff like that?

Well that's a good point.  Torch and Burn.  Probably the worst possible atrocity.  Your allies turn on you.  Your followers question you.

 

In a desert, poisoning wells is considered truly wrong.  In a wasteland, the same can be said of burning food.

Well if you use invisible units to do it with your allies and followers won't know. <sinister grin>

If you don't get caught... in a world of magic, invisibility is not necessarily foolproof

I like your counter idea though if a player uses the torch and burn ability then the ai should be very harsh against him from then on. Kind of like we did Hitler.
