New Tech - Canabalism
Alright. We've all starved our troops at some point, if you haven't yet, you will. If you actually went your entire career without starving? Kudos
I think a new starve related tech should be implemented, now please don't judge this solely on the name, I'm sure someone can come up with a.. Softer way to say it. But here's how it would work
When crop reaches 0, normally you starve. But with this Tech, instead of starving at 0 crop, your troops instead consume the Civilian supply for a short time. For the sake of argument, Level 6 Tech allows 12 civilians to amount to 800 crop. So 120 civilians would be 8000 crop. So when you hit 0, instead of starving your troops would consume Civies at that rate until you hit 0 Civilians. THEN you starve! Now I know that the level ratio is a bit off, but I'm only trying to get the concept across. I admit, it SOUNDS a little grim and dark, but I really think that would be a useful tech, especially if Alliances could purchase it.
