An idea on provisions

[Alpha]

I haven't seen this posted anywhere on the forum regarding provisions. It may be against the balance behind the idea.

In addition to the current way to get provisions, why can't a noble buy provisions like paraphernalia? A region lord could set aside x bushels to be sent to the market to be purchased as provisions. The conversion from bushels to provisions would depend on unit size.

I didn't post this as a feature request because I wanted to get some input on it first.

Two things I believe, the current system was somewhat easier to do so it was just made with the intention of working on it more later, like the not starving at the same level as the region instantly when you run out of provisions that was done. Secondly, I am not sure on this but Tom might not be doing for game balance reasons but I am not sure, I  just thought I read it somewhere.

We do have plans to do something along these lines. We just need to have the time to make sure it is, in fact, properly balanced.

As Tim said, this is already planned. However, the main problem is this:

Right now, there is no relation between bushels and provision percentages. We need to add such a relation, and we need to figure out how it is going to be. It also depends on unit size and so on - in short, it's a bit more tricky, which is why it's not yet been added.

Has the bug been fixed yet that drains your provisions when in regions with a food deficit, even when that region has surplus food?

I believe so, yes. That should have come in with the other provisions tweak I made a week or so ago.

Is it on testing right now or both? :)

Ah—it's on testing.

It seems to have proven itself pretty much bug-free, though, so today I'll move it to stable.

Good to hear, thanks.
