[quote who="TroubledWaters" reply="65" id="2775387"] Unfortunately I need that food for housing for two cities. Food is a unique resource in the sense that it is capped and you never really get too much of. Wasting a precious food is a horrible move for one paltry gold per turn, which I could get more easily by killing stuff. [/quote] Are you using Caravans? They give a food bonus. I haven't had any problems having enough food, due to the use of Caravans.

Reply to Empire/Kingdom Balance and flavour in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Droghar" reply="6" id="2771137"]Have I missed where the Fallen get a +7 prestige building like the Palace somewhere? I've never gotten to high level cities with them (note I never play to the end, once the game is obviously very won I stop) [/quote] No, the Empires get a +50% Prestige building. But the point is that Empire civs don't require high level cities like the Kingdom does.

Reply to Empire/Kingdom Balance and flavour in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I don't think you are looking at the balancing between Empire and Kingdom. Some examples: Empire civs don't need high level cities, because almost everything they can build only requires a level 3 city. While an Empire civ requires 500 pop for a level 4 city, and a Kingdom civ only requires 400 pop, the Empire civs get level 5 cities at 1000 pop vs. Kingdom civs at 1250 pop. IIRC, Sions only require gold, not resources, to build, and Empire civs get mul

Reply to Loving it in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I just want to add a couple things to what Stax77 said: 1. Be sure to use Caravans... a lot :) They can provide huge bonuses to your food production. 2. Huts (which is your starting "population building") are used to allow more people to live in the city, so the city grows. As you research the appropriate Technology, Huts will be upgraded so that each population building allows more people to live in them, allowing your cities to grow even larger. 3. It's not

Reply to I'm Confused - Caravans and trading in War of Magic Elemental Forums

More information... the food bonus % provided by caravans is based on the distance between the two cities... the farther away the cities are, the higher the food bonus %. The food bonus % has no effect on cities that don't produce any food, so unless you just need a road between two cities, you should always send your caravans to cities that produce food. The cities that produce food should send their caravans to cities that do not. Also, caravans will connect with the first city they
