Crop usage

Where can I see how much crop each type of troop consumes?

I'm assuming the crop usage is the same as the number of slaves needed to create the troop, but that's just an assumption.

I'm also having a problem keeping my crop levels up. I've made multiple farms, have a crop oasis and started leveling my tech, but still in the negative on crop and I don't have THAT big of an army.
Can I suggest that either the entry level farms produce more crop that support the amount of troops needed to pass the 1st couple challenges or the troops consume less?
a lev 2 oasis, 4 farms (lev 4,5,6,6) enhanced and lev 5 tech are not enough to support only about 600 archers.
Seems like it's not balanced very well.

I can help but first I'd like to point out that this thread is for bug reports and I don't think you're detailing bugs.

When you tap the little button (round with 9 tiny squares with top row being yellow) in resource buildings and Town Hall you get your Resource Overview screen. This doesn't give an individual troop breakdown, but you can make adjustments and record the change under "Troops Consumed". Also, are you sure you're negative? I believe negative is RED (not white). I myself would like to know why the crop figure is in white.

As far as having enough crop, if you follow the tasks regarding resources and have a couple crop oases you should be fine, especially since you say you've done the tech upgrades. Also, assign an officer in Town Hall for a boost to resources. Lastly, you can try the free enhance cards they give you.
The yellow button with the up arrows in the Farms are what you tap for this.

Yup.
Figured all that out, but I guess my main point was that it would be nice to see how much each kind of troop consumes.
In original HK, it shows crop consumption of the individual troop on the build screen, but it doesn't in this beta.

It's just one of those things that would be nice to know.

Other things that would be nice to know are things like field lengths, how far a unit moves per round, etc..

I agree, knowing what each type of troop consumes helps us manage how we build and maintain the various possible army configurations. My suggestion is too difficult.

It would be nice to know how much each troops consumes. And they should have something like troops dying off from hunger based on how scarce your crop production is.

All troop types consume 1 crop per hour.
No troop type consumes more crop than any other.

Yeah, sent that feedback on day 2 of the beta I think.
Got some of it figured out now.
