I've come to a point where a few of my cities have maxed out, when I say maxed out I mean that to further increase the population it will place me into negative food production.
 
I know many people have cities with -10000 food production and 100% tax, and it does not effect them as they have already built everything that they need, making vast sums of gold, and fielding massive armies.
The part that concerns me is that you, the devs where going to introduce the negative food automatic tax adjustment, I need to know if this is going to happen, or any other changes that cause the same effect.
 
Because without doing as others are, what chance is there to compete?, and if I do adopt their method, then I also get screwed over if the changes come in.

I sympathise with your dilemma Olek.

I have been trying to ask the same questions in the Exodus Announcements thread for several days with zero success.

My thoughts is that the community pretty much accepted the response that "decoupling food from taxation would cause a bigger glitch" - a conclusion that completely by-passes the original (and much simpler) solution that you stated: When food goes negative (and balance is zero) then tax-slider automatically adjusts until food is positive again.

Fine, I'll just go ahead and run my kingdom without worrying about food, then if you do introduce something in the future I'll just rage quit like the rest Wink

They warned us not to run our food at a negative, so I'd avoid it if I were you...

[05:51]<Ryelle> so the negative food exploit WILL be fixed, SC?
[05:52]<Ryelle> there are a couple posts on the forum asking whether it ever will be
[05:52]<Ryelle> I can post your reply there for your convenience if you wish
[05:52]<GM Stormcrow> @Ryelle - yes, and as stated, and quite abruptly, very soon.

Asked and answered.
