Food

from GalCiv4 Forums

I have been half-ignoring food so far, because there seems to be no bonus/malus to it.  I do try to balance it somewhat, because I do know that eventually there will be some attention paid to it.

So, what does negative food mean in the end run?  Lowered growth?  Lowered morale?  The inability to launch colony ships?  

I've been really enjoying the Yor so far.  They make food irrelevant.

Yes, in the GC4 alpha so far when food goes negative your citizens morale might suffer.  If I remember correctly I've seen comments like "We're starving" when looking at individual citizen's morale.  If the morale gets low enough, the citizens can revolt.  When a citizen is in revolt it can't be moved to a colony or constructor.  So it is possible that you might not be able to colonize or build star bases.

Of course since this is still the alpha all this might change.
