Actually egamma, price has nothing to do with it. Iashular withheld shipment because of church politics for a short time. Besides which, we haven't been sitting around twiddling our thumbs, I just bought 500 bushels of food that our banker secured, while Asylon has also been trading with us (one of the conditions for the food from Asylon was signing the defensive alliance treaty with them in the first place).
So if you'll excuse me while you get off your high horse.
By the way, the 500 bushels was secured at over 50 gold per 100 bushels. So it isn't like we're being miserly.
