Food is a mechanic of this game that is completely ignored. There really ought to be a mechinc in game the debuffs or kills/incapacitates your troops when you don't have enough that food to feed them all. I'm all for having a huge army and being a super powerful force but if you're gonna have troops eat food there ought to be a negative side effect of not feeding them.

What about people that have over 5million upkeep? did you think about them? if igg adds something that happens when you run out of food it will make the game worse

Except mathematically it would be impossible to sustain a decent fighting force without creating a hardline of pay to win to break caps. You people always complain about how high spenders are pay to win and really all this is is another way to gripe about it. Let's say you did this,that would create a max food per hour and as such a baseline for the amount of troops you could sustain at one time,the multibillion power players still hold the cards as they are high spenders so they would just break the standard cap by using Gems. That applies to the idea of debuffing as well,you run into the same problem. The realityis,if you want to compete at that level,you either invest time or money. Also it sounds like you have yet to hit the last few levels of castle upgrading,even with food boosts it can be quite tricky to get the resources at times.

Ultimately the point is,unlessthe entire system was overhauled,this won't work.....ever.
