I was going to ask the same thing.

We'll be doing this in phases, as we are aware there is certainly some potential for disputes over which player gets the food sovereignty; which is why I'm setting out this sequence of events: We will be distributing the food amounts randomly across the 40,675 squares, and in the same proportions that coastline was distributed, namely: 10% 4 food 20% 5 food 20% 6 food 10% 7 food 10% 8 food 10% 9 food 10% 10 food 5% 11 food 1% 12 food 1% 13 food 1% 14 food 1% 15 food 1% 16 food As the distribution is random, the numbers above won't be perfectly accurate, but should be very close (ie 19.8% instead of 20% etc).   This distribution will appear on the map early next week, so players can start discussing any potential conflicts with their neighbours.

I was rather hoping that volcanos would eventually do ... something.  Perhaps erupt with some possibility of damage to nearby cities and some possibility of spawning a rare mineral mine ... something like that.  Would be an interesting way to introduce new resources.  "Floods" of lakes and rivers could spawn rare herbs.  All in the long term, of course.
