More food provinces in the US

Sounds good, I have played US a couple of times and food is a problem, I think it starts out at +10 or something.

Food was pretty scarce in US before WWII just ask anyone who grew up then.(ie, depression) -- the USA didn't become a huge food producer until after WWII. This also slows down USA growth as its the only country with now natural enemies.

If they had so little food, how did they constantly supply Britain with food during WWII? I believe you, just curious.

You just answered your own question. Now you know where all the extra food is going and why US has so little. -- USA growth rate doesn't really kick in till 1942, in most games about WWII so something has to be done to reflect that I suppose.

Also, the land that would be considered the bread basket of US food creation is not represented on the map. However, both grain provinces are on the coast so you can really crank them up.

Alright, thanks.

Know your history. US had food. NY (Buffalo in game) was fruit, dairy, and grain. The New England area was grain and fruit. Florida was known as the citrus capital until California took it over in the late 50's early 60s. California and a lot of the western portion of the US was mainly isolated towns. It truly was the eastern 50% of the US that provided the world with what it needed. Rationing didn't start until late 1940. Ration cards themselves came out in 1942 to support the war effort. The upper Midwest which was the breadbasket of the US on the late 20's died in the dust bowl drought at the start of the 30's. All that meant was that the cost of food went up. Not that there was a lack of it. Europe is where food production got tight due to the destruction of farms and industry. Many of the producers were wiped out or crippled. The knowledge base was lost. Fields destroyed. Europe had a production bottle neck across the board. US needs 1 thing the rest of them don't Transports.
