Food is supplied by 12 fishermen, 7 farmers, 12 hunters and 8 gatherers.

Firewood is supplied by 16 foresters providing logs to 4 woodcutters (any more woodcutters and they'd have nothing to do, lest that sound low).20 fuel workers.Īnd yet they are starving to death. Is everyone obscenely greedy, or is everyone extremely lazy? Perhaps the population count is representative rather than exact, and that 70 refers to an abstract grouping rather than the full total - but why, then, would the same not apply to the number of food workers? There is some imbalance I can't understand - how could a ratio of almost one food worker to every two people fail to provide enough? (Yes, I have been careful to spread fields, cabins and barns out so no-one has to make long, hungry treks for sustenance). I need to make yet more food, and I need to make yet more firewood: every two or three new citizens seems to increase demand on these key resources by the sort of degree you'd expect from a decent-size army.
