Food - DEI

[Wombatmeister]

Hello everyone.

Does anybody understand the mechanic of the Food System? I watched
the YouTube-Videos about DEI, in german and english. I tried to understand
the Manual about Food System. But for me it is too difficult to find out,
where from the Food comes from, or which +/- gives the total Food.

There is the edict system (Food Export, Panem et circenses) I cannot understand,
how it`s working with the total of Food.

As well with the number of the Food produced in the regions. Where does the Food
goes, if in Latia every City produces +2 Food, and in the total of province rome
there is only +1 of production? (Start with normal campaign, no extra buildings).

Thank you.

Greetings.

I had the same question not long ago, look here for answers:

Each region has a certain food bonus so you will get some from each of those. Armies use food (less when garrisoned).

When is there a good reason to use the export food edict? It always seems like a huge loss of food for not that much extra wealth.

[Dresden]

When you have a lot of extra food, the effects should be better with higher tier buildings.

Dear Sirs,

thank you very much for the Explanation.

May I ask, if you can tell me, which factors
I have to calculate altogehter,
to get to the total Food of 12 (e. g. main-rome-GC in DEI)?

Thank you

Base food for each region, buildings (both +/-), armies consuming the food, agents, events (like summer, autumn, winter), technologies, possibly edicts if you are using any that have an effect on food plus there might be also some global modifiers that must be considered here - that I'm a bit unsure about.

[Dardo21]

Don't forget the global supply cost either.

After reading some tables. There is reduction in food linked to size of your empire (imperium)
