Food

You can't control food production, we can just improve it.

You got red maybe because you have too many units (mostly infantry) that eats a lot of grain as upkeep, and you never made any attemp to improve grain production, because you got red on a country that you said rich in grain.

I also suspect you came from S1914 yes? If so I tell you this: Adapt or die.

and welcome to th game! Where the old die and the new prosper so yeah I will said it again: adapt or die.

Sorry But I started off playing for the 1st time in this game, your assumption makes an A__ of your remark. within 15 minutes of playing I was red in food production. No I did not come from 1914. Never heard of the game till I found the forum. I'm a fast learner but this game leaves a lot to be desired, very steep learning curve, and long waiting times. In the 6 hours I have invested in the game so far I have built a laundry list of things that would be needed to fix the game. The US east coast was more farming than what is portrayed in the game for one. When units are on the move they should tell the user eta when curser is over the unit. Resources should be linked to the providence with an arrow or a bold line as when viewed; some times looking at the map they are in the next providence which is in another country as it stands right now. there are other fixes or improvements that can be made but I won't go into them here.

PS Looks like I will be restarting my 2 games as The system cant seem to keep track of my account. Huuummmmmmm. Bug? Logged in/created account w/ facebook but every time I log off it cant find my account and makes up another account. So I'm eternally stuck on the 1st 2 days of the game.

you have builded barracks in first 15 minutes, each barrack have upkeep on food.

Build Infrastructure lvl 3 in each food provinse. build infrastructrure lvl 2 in each food non core province and you will never go out of food

Check how much food getting consumed, if you got red in just 15 minutes then you build barracks everywhere, some province that produce nothing but money and manpower is best not improved upon.

This last I seem to have found out. in trial and error. A little brief by someone who knows what happens for a short walk thru would be most decidedly a helpful thing. If you build infrastructure then industrial complex, does the complex wipeout the infrastructure that you just built?

No.

Complex and infra stack together.

money increase by morale, infra and complex increase morale? anyway there is no way to increase money production than to conquer new lands and wait for the morale to rise

Infrstructure in Cherson increase money income!!! als i think it does everywhere.

Tips for maintaining food:

1. Upgrade all core food provinces with level 3 infrastructure and at least level 1 infrastructure in all non-core food provinces. Some non-cores will have the "double" food marking...I usually build level 3 infrastructure there as well.

2. Only build barracks in high manpower provinces with factories. Barracks increase manpower production. This will also allow you to build Infantry versus militia.

2a. NEVER build Militia...they consume the most food of any unit (150 per day) and are really useless (wimpy and cost prohibitive). If you start the game with militia, use them in attacks so they die early and replace them with infantry.

3. Do not upgrade barracks until you can produce Mech Infantry (barracks level 3 required). If you don't go this research route, don't upgrade barracks at call. I don't recommend Motorized Infantry which require barracks level 2.

4. DISABLE all barracks UNLESS you are producing an infantry unit. Even damaged level 2 barracks need to be disabled since they still count as a level 1 full hp barracks. Level 2 barracks consume 500 food a day versus 200 food for level 1 barracks. Level 3 barracks consume a whopping 1000 food a day.

5. If you are still negative, start using obsolete units as cannon fodder in attacks so they die. Since you can't disband units, you have to "suicide" them. In late games where opponents have no significant air-force, the need for AA guns and eventually even fighter planes outlive their usefulness. I usually suicide artillery if i had bothered to build them.

6. Switch from infantry production to tanks. Tanks use 50 food per day and infantry use 100 food per day. You might run a fuel shortage but hey, you have more food now!

bumping since i have seen this question come up 2-3 times in help channel today

Why would you bump it? Noobs rarely come here and even if they do, they will just make a new thread most of the time.

If no one cares, why does the game get updates, have an active community and(most importantly of all), why do you continue to argue if you(and no one else) cares?

BeerBelly you do know this is a community, basically everyone is a stalker

Lol BBB tends to have an urge of making his 'mark' on every thread xD adapt Beerbelly

That's Bill for you, making his mark on every thread is his job here nowadays
