too little food

there is too little food, which is proven by the number of deals on the market. there might be 1 or 2 deals offering food, but there are dozens needing food.

Then why is collective farm in the 3rd row of the industrial tech? this makes no sense!! Especially as food is in the first line in the previous eras.

I agree, especially about the food being too far down, in the 3rd row of research, in the Industrial Age. That's a long time to wait from the last food production upgrade.

Agree with all of the above

why is there not a food global in every climate?

A thought on a Food Global, food needs to be a guaranteed aspect of the game and not random as other globals are. If, what you meant was, the food global was in addition to the guaranteed, I like that idea. But, the basic amount of food would need to increase first before adding a random global food concept.

The increase amount t when upgrading any resource plot is so low, It would help to have at least 50 more per level of every resource when upgraded. 

Which is why you can make towns on 9x food spots to compensate. I held top 3 in trading income for 3 or 4 weeks on my first hero(which was just in medieval) just because the huge demand on food makes it so profitable to sell. 

I think it's a great aspect of large multiplayer games that there's an actual fluctuating free market that decides the flow of the game a bit, and that people can try to get ahead by exploiting that. (A great strategy that makes a lot of mmo's more exciting than just a grind to level).

I don't think any adjustment is necessary(although the tech tree can always be improved of course)

if you don't have an army and you are collect, that is fine. if you are a despot with an army, you need more food! 

did you ever make it to industrial or info age???

I've made it to info age, and never had any problems with food but I had 3 towns with 9 food spots in that run

That explains why you don't ever have problems with food lol.  What about stone, lumber and iron? Or oil even?  Any problems with those?  :-D

no wonder you were always asking for wood stone and iron!! 3 towns with 9 food spots gives you too little other res.

Not true! That's because I was rushing the wonder, I never had any deficiencies in the other resource areas, also I got a lot of resources by trading away the food at a good rate
