The feeding

This is not fun, is just some technical stuff for those who happens to be new on Evony.

On Evony as in life, you have resources,. But the difference is that in life resources are many types, and in Evony just few. Food, Lumber, Stone and Iron. There is gold too. And medals, items, soldiers, game coins can be considered resources too.

For building, making troops or other activities you need primary resources. All of them, or just only gold for example. But troops constantly costs food to be kept alive. Some are economical, like workers, who consumes 2 units of food per hour, or other are quite devouring food like cataphracts 35 units per hour, or catapults 50 units per hour. So 10000 catapults, will eat half million food per hour, 12 million food per day.

You can have food building farms. One farm at lvl 10 will make 5500 units per hour. Of course, researching food production at 10 will double this production, having an hero as mayor with good politics will give more than double, conquering high level lakes or grass fields will give some more too, but in a final you cannot get much more over a million production of food per hour per city. So the army that can be fed is limited.

But there are the npcs who have theyr own production. The trick is that balistas having high range of attack can wipe out all deffences of npcs till lvl 5 with no losses if you use enough ballistas. And that 5 lvl will give you 3 million of food. So here starts farming. You make ballistas and trasporters and at every 8 hours you attack npcs for feeding the troops.
No big deal to throw few attacks. But if you have 10 villages. 9 heroes in each one, meaning 45 atacks, and every attack click on npc, click attack, type or paste the number of ballistas, idem transporters, select the hero, and send the atack, click ok, close the window, and this sequence 45 times in a row, and repeat this row maybe 10 times per day, soon you will start losing your senses.

The feeding will be part of some stories, so now you know what feeding means.
