Proposal: Consume

S-K. Chronos

Add a Feeding sub-rule to Population:

Whenever the Hegemonist increases the Stocks of Commodities of a Country due to posting a Market Position, e shall reduce the Stock of Food (according to that Country race) of said Country by one tenth (rounded up to the next integer. Ex.: 1.01 becomes 2) of the combined Population of all Terirtories that Country controls.

If the Hegemonist is unable to reduce a Country’s Stock of Food, because that Country lacks enough food to allow that, the Hegemonist shall {Make a Post} with subject “Starving Warning: Country X #NNN”, where “X” is the name of the Country lacking food and “NNN” is a sequential number starting at 001 for each Country. The #NNN starving counter for a Country shall be reset to 001 every time the Hegemonist is able to reduce that Country’s Stock of Food in the manner of this rule.

Whenever the Hegemonist posts a “Starving Warning: Country X #NNN” with a #NNN greater than 002, the Hegemonist shall reduce the population of all Territories controlled by that Country by one tenth (rounded up to the next integer. Ex.: 1.01 becomes 2).

imperial This requires a lot of food. Most players won’t be able to support any territory that’s not underpopulated already.

That’s why Farms and Oil Wells are for. And they can always sell other commodities to buy food.

As it stands, it’s very cheap to increase a Country’s population. Let’s make it not that cheap to maintain a higher populaton.

Excalabur, that’s why you have 2 availabe races, with different food-stuff.

Some countries would sell me Oil/Metal to buy Grain while other countries would sell me Grain/Metal to buy Oil. Quite sustentable.

I agree that this is too much.  I would be out of grain quickly with this, and getting more territories will be a huge strain..

Mm.  but those are linked to ‘government’. 

I would vote for this at 5% or so.
