What is the opinion on the fact that one can still grow food during winter? Does it make it too easy to complete? Does wheat grow in germany, in winter?
Winter is 15 days. With a family of 6, you would need 90 food to survive winter. That means you need to add 3 food above and beyond what you use during every day of summer and autumn. Or in other words, you need to harvest 9 food every day or you will die.
More importantly, since you can't gather food in the forest in winter, going into winter with not enough food means you know you will die. I see this as a frustration factor. If you know you are dead and there's nothing you can do about it, why continue playing?
The yield in winter is at best 4 food for a plot. That makes it hard enough to survive if you don't have reserves.
