Not so much the op, but the rest of the comments.
I must be doing something wrong. My first play-through, I did very well with food/firewood. But since I've tried to have a serious play, my people keep starving and freezing. I had a bad harvest (unfortunately someone called and distracted me, so I have no idea why) and went from 50 people down to 20 in one year due to starvation. I had two farms, fishermen, and a hunter, forester, gather group. I just can't figure out why my food production sucks so bad. |
I at times wonder if there is any variability to certain things, especially farming. Like, does the map and land play a role? I've read other forums where people say they did great with a certain crop and others didn't do well. But there could have been variable in size of farm and amount of workers.
For you, I don't know. Did you give the forester time to grow the forest before cutting? Maybe it was an early, and harsh winter. Early winter could kill crops before harvested, and I believe especially cold winters freeze the river and removes fishing for the winter.
Also, with your fisherman, if you have a bend in the river nearby place them on that to get maximum water coverage.
Other than that, who knows.
