Investment

Yes, but if you have regions that are at very low population, you can push production levels to far higher than they can normally sustain.  You can invest in a 100 pop rural and get some real food going.

Generally, you can't invest in such regions since the population is too low to support the Investment. You need a sizeable chunk of peasants first

We're trying to make a habit in LN to invest in rurals when they hit the halfway mark for population (assuming it's not winter), to get as much food out of them as we can.

Only if the max pop is 200 or less. And that would be a very small rural, with a very low food output.

Investing for food is in my opinion more tied to timing than investment for extra tax gold. If there's a harvest during the investment time then the conditions could change from a good harvest to a drought or bad harvest. That will absolutely affect how much you gain from the investment. So..best to invest right after harvest when good conditions are in effect for maximum gain.

Heh, have you seen some of those spawning regions?  Terribly low pop.

But that was just a random number drawn for sake of drama, admittedly.  Still, it can make a difference to invest in the right time with a less-than-full pop region.
