How long was it, four or 5 days? A week? I think there was a colony in Sallowtown that died that fast. Or was it Qubel Lighthouse? Meh.. it was in one of those places in D'Hara. Some guy with 100 infantry walked up there and colonized it, with no support and no one else helping him. It died pretty quick.
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.

I think 8 days. Maybe 9.

Porto Lancia had its capital revolt in seven days: http://wiki.battlemaster.org/wiki/Porto_Lancia

Does anyone remember anything at all about Quadrivium? http://wiki.battlemaster.org/wiki/Quadrivium
"All that is know about this realm is that it existed at one time, and very briefly, on the island of Dwilight."

It was in D'Hara, I think in Port Nebel. Some character bought the city and tried found a realm. It had very little support and Corsanctum wasn't really strong yet (I think it was meant to be SA). It fell quickly.

It's a hazy memory, really, part or all of this may be wrong.

After all it's a roleplaying game.

Mmm, I remember that now. Yeah, it was definitely in D'Hara. I can't remember who founded it though, or how long it lasted, just that it wasn't around for very long.

You have XXX bushels of food stored.
This store will last you about 200 more days.

What is the food problem?

region pop of 1, is it?

On the topic of food, the way that food deprivation is currently handled is really poor. If a region is producing 6 bushels a day, and it needs 7, it still starves really badly. That's like saying: if you normally eat 7 slices of bread a day, and you now eat 6, you will starve. Serious wtf right there.

The only possible reasoning that I can think behind this is that the richer people horde the food and let the others starve. But the food is distributed from the regional granaries, so presumably it is controlled in some manner.

Burning and stealing food do not have the same effects.
The above is accurate 25% of the time, truthful 50% of the time, and facetious 100% of the time.

Either way, it quickly snowballs. Starvation eventually kills production, which in turn increases the deficit.

Well, this is what is says from a region that is mssing one to two bushels daily:

"Starvation is horrible, people are begging for food in the streets."

The only one that I have seen worse is "Starvation is literally killing all life in the region".
