One thing about wars in Winter, for the time being anyway, is that you can only be in starving regions for 5 days.  At that point, you have to head to a region that will not starve.  And remain there until winter is over. 
When will the "Buy Provisions" be set up?

I'm sorry, am I missing something here?

You want to solve the absence of food by having the ability to ... buy food? Which isn't there? Otherwise there wouldn't be starvation?

You can't gain provisions right now.  The only time you can gain provisions is when regions provide a surplus.  In winter there is no harvest.  You can buy food, but you can't buy provisions.

There most certainly is harvest in winter. It's just smaller.

Are there any regions with a surplus?

There should be many rural regions that produce more than 4 times what their own population needs to survive (which is what you need for a surplus in winter).

Ok, I guess there are just none near me.  In winter we produce 25%?

That's what he just said, and seems to fit with what I recall.

Also keep in mind that the massive negative production that drove a dozen regions rogue last winter is no longer in place.

I'm pretty sure that winter is 50%, spring is 75%, summer is 100%, and fall is 125%...

And you think you know better than the guy who wrote the season-based production adjustment code why?

Winter is 25%, spring is 75%, summer is 100%, autumn is 200%.

Hey, easy there. I just said what I thought it was, not that I knew for a fact.

Charles

I knew it had to average off to 100% across all seasons.

No Asylion regions starving since the begging of winter. Quite good.
