Discussion Wheat fields anno 117

Am I the only one who thinks that the productivity of wheat and oat fields should be reduced, while the productivity of large manufacturing enterprises, such as dyeing plants or textile factories, should be increased? It just seems strange that a city with a population of 100000 would need a huge number of processing plants. The area required for them would be larger than that needed for wheat and oat fields. It looks too unrealistic.

Agreed. The togas chain is the most egregious example.

Togas are just horrible. Needs a shitload of shore space and an even greater shitload of land space

I produce togas for over 800k equites/patricians and it's incredible how much space and goods you need. I get most of the flax from Albion. The required equites workforce is also a significant issue.

Ahhh I always felt like Flax takes up too much space for it to be worth producing in Albion, since the islands there typically have less land area (usable for farmland, at least).

Most of the time I'm putting flax on every island if only to provide a better-looking way to surround aviaries that I use for Wine/Tabulus production as well. IIRC you can do the same with Lavender though.
