Don't you know that Barca now consists for 1/3 out of D'Hara criminals and 1/3 out of Terran criminals because of all the peasants banished for leaving their homeland? ;)

Why bother with illegal immigrants when you have illegal emigrants? :P

"Go on! Go to Barca and never come back!"

Maybe its as simple as the never come back part. D'Hara doesn't need more mouths so if they come back rather than work Barca's fields, D'Haran nobility might be a wee bit angry..

And yeah, Barca is like Australia in the good ole colonial days. Sunny too (if you can see through the overgrowth). But we don't mind, because we need peasants to work Barca's fields and who has better work ethics than rehabilitated criminals who can never return to their old homes? They have nowhere else so they better start hoeing or whatever.

To the north and east: Terran and D'Haran bureaucrats all to happy to string them up.

To the south: Aurvandi fanatics who might sacrifice them to strange gods.

To the west: monsters. And then Zuma. Who will also sacrifice you to strange gods.

Best option for peasants?

Work your ass off in Barcan rice fields.

D'Haran criminals can have a light sentence, or a death sentence. If it's light, then they get to be sent off colonize and farm Barcan lands to make it hospitable for civilization. If they get the death sentence, we give just them a new home in Port Nebel. It's only a matter of time after that before justice is achieved.  8)

Keep on coming with those criminals. As long as they work our field and pay tax, they can stay.

Maybe we'll declare eating a crime. That way, you'll get more workers! :P

There already stands a punishment on eating, starvation.

Isn't that the punishment for NOT eating?

Finally Barca has achieved to take over Gallaecia, and will surely add Twainwood soon. Let's see how this game year advances and how far Barca can expand.

If only food production could go above 100%, I'd invest in Barca without a second thought.

Don't forget that most of the regions are underproducing ;) That means that most of them are sitting around 60% or so!

Is population high enough, though?

And if it makes production climb 110%, but food production only rises 40%, I'm not getting much returns on that investment.
