It occurs to me that as the Lords and Masters of all we survey, we should be able to construct buildings that improve the standard of living for our devoted peasantry: Theaters to decrease the rate of losing morale, Mill's to decrease total grain consumption, waterwheel's in riverland regions or mines in Mountainous regions to increase production and/or gold with less peasantry. Churches should have apothecaries that increase birth rates.
And with food seemingly more of a problem than ever before, lets start fishing with Harbors!
Just some food for thought from a hopeful fan of the game!
