Just make sure you have enough temples to keep the people happy and the rest of the plots should be production. Next, on provinces that have numerous Grain Towns you should construct Farms and Temples only. Just make sure to turn a few plots of land into happiness generating structures and you’re golden. You will now reap the benefits of this province without having to take the hit to your food surplus.
Upgrade every building to the maximum, and uncheck the ‘Tax this Province’ box. Build your most advanced Libraries, both types of Barracks, all types of Army Training/Upgrade Camps, etc. For this province, you can go nuts with building up non-production based buildings. Search for a province within your empire which has no grain towns. This technique makes use of the fact that if you choose to not tax a province, it will not have any effect on your food surplus or generate income through taxes. You’ll have to construct a level 4 temple just to try and break even.Ĭonsider the net bonuses provided by a level 3 farm and temple as compared to a level 4 and you’ll see what I mean. This is because the massive Happiness penalty such structures incur is not worth the increased food gain. It will slow your progress down to a halt and may even force you to backtrack by demolishing a few structures to make way for food consumption buildings.Īlso keep in mind that most Food buildings should not be upgraded beyond level 3. Having a food shortage can basically just put a monkey wrench in any visions of expansion you might be having. However, it’s always better to have a little over that so you stay at the optimum amount even after upgrading a building.īuilding the first and second levels of a building usually does not have that much of an impact on your city/province, but once you start upgrading proper you’ll notice an increase in Squalor and Shortage of Food.
The food surplus does not provide benefits beyond a surplus of 20. Keeping the food rate in the surplus also results in an increased population growth rate and a boost to unit replenishment. Food is needed in order to upgrade other buildings. Foodįood is produced by Farms, Animal Pens, Fishing ports, Delicacy/Food chain upgrade of the Forum/Market plot, Food-Related Temples, Grain Towns, Fishing Towns and the like. There are two main kinds of resources that basically make up your economy Food and Wealth. That means you need lots of moolah and munchies to feed your army of unstoppable death soldiers.ĭepending on how you handle your economy, you can expand smoothly and seamlessly, or find your progress ground to a halt all of a sudden because you find that you can’t build anything and slowly but surely your provinces are getting unhappier and unhappier. As your adviser politely informs you in the prologue of Total War Rome 2, Military successes are based on strong civil foundations.
