The issue I believe is not that the food economy exists, it is that the mechanics which are so location dependent in regular BM may not be appropriate to be location based on the War Islands. Would food and drafts still be relevant if you could perform the actions from anywhere?

Not totally trivial, but not difficult, either.

However, I believe that food is an important strategic resource, and as such, management of it is part of war.

If you remove food as a factor on the War Islands, rural regions essentially cease to have meaning. Looting your enemy loses half its punch.

So many things depend on food being a factor.

Nah actually looting rurals has more effect now than it ever has because it kills the income of fringe knights that nobody care about and so become disaffected and quit.

This reminds me

Next time I'm running on a platform of organising a base income everyone should strive to achieve and having someone tell everyone what size to put their bloody estates. The only difference from the current system would be that we'd do that at the start.
