It is important to note that this food rebalancing is not just an attempt to balance food. It is something that has been percolating on and off for months. It was enabled by Tom's implementation of the new dynamic map, and all the features and stats it allows us to generate. It does not solely focus on food, but on gold as well. It is also not simply a balancing, but a complete recalculation of both gold and food. We use procedural methods to derive the new values from the actual characteristics of the region, and not just pull numbers out of a hat. Anaris and ban have done a *lot* of work on it the past few days.
While this has been something that has been floating around for a while, the recent debates have brought it to the front. It is also important to note that this will affect all islands and all regions.
