Topic: [76153] running low on food

[-76153] Matata [None] :: Aug. 22, 2012, 11:19 p.m.

Hey guys, I found all the pieces of a relic, and got a nice troop bonus. I then used those troops to take over someones outpost. What I didn't know is that I had to hold that outpost for 24 hours before I would claim it as mine, so now I am running at -350 food/hour and will run out of food in 10 hours. If I can't get enough food to survive the remaining time left till I claim the outpost, and I do run out of food, what will happen?

Will I lose the outpost?
will I just lose troops?
something else?

no worries.. I sent support to the outpost, then recalled my attack troops I used to take the outpost (bad mistake, cuz that recalled all my troops, and I lost the outpost. so I said screw it, and took an out post with similar resources, and now using the attack troops to pillage for food while upgrading my farms as as wood allows. I have extended the life of my troops this way, but still losing 250+ food/hour. hopefully I can stabilize before I run out of food. Thanks for the help guys.. I learned something today.
