Food is a basic resource in Kingdoms of Camelot. it is required to build, research, and train units.
Food is also used as upkeep for your army. The amount of food consumed by different units varies and can be found in the units page.
Food is gathered at farms, and can be plundered from enemy cities and barbarian camps.
Grasslands and lakes increase food production while you control these.
Negative food income[]
When you have more soldiers than your farms can produce food for, you have a negative food income.
Always keep the food production higher then the upkeep, or ensure a high enough stock! Otherwise troops will just disappear!
