well i guess i chould write pages and pages here and really confused people so i will keep this short.
u can never build to much food for not only do u get food but pop as well which gives u more gold(which is good) but alway build enough food to have double rations and u can always sell the extra food
and remember food is worth more when u have over 200 units so build 2 grainaries (any thing more is a waste of wood and space).

Well, I usually build like 30+ lumber jacks, then a granary, surrounded by apple farms. I build one wheat field, one mill, and like 5 bakeries. I buy most of my weapons.

well 30 + cutters is a good start but buying troops well let just say u need to build troops as well :-)
mostly because when u play a guy like me that has 40 or so cutters 40orsofarm(selling food)50 or so weapon huts with a pop of over 200 i get more gold so can buy more troop plus the troop i am building :-)

Wraith, you want to say, that when you put your woodcutters to sleep, they don't need food anymore? When they gather around the fireplace, they don't eat? If that's true..., damned, then I have to open SHCL again.

Because I usually dont have thousands of acres to build farms and when you have double rations then you have to keep an eye on your granary when you build more houses. That can be a problem if you need to keep another eye out for the enemy's doings and a third for your own military. But I haven't been playing for very long (maybe 3 weeks on MP) so I guess I'll just get used to it. Btw, do you mean reach 25000 for the entire game or just have that much at one time?
