Actually, food selling is a lot easier then indy. For example, with indy you have the problem of selling enough troops to upkeep without selling so many that you have too much cash and not enough troops at the finish of a run. Plus there's the chalenge of selling enough to upkeep while still keeping enough troops to break people.

In short, indy takes a lot more skill to manage then agrarian. Or, for that matter, agro-indy... I loved my agro-indy. So very easy to manage.

However, when you talk about agrarian's potential yeild, keep in mind that agrarians have now taken a big hit - losing Grumm. This knocks a bit off their potential. I've found it lessened the effectiveness of agro-indy.

So, perhaps, 7 or 8, or even 10, isn't an unreasonable sell price with no food hero to boost food yeilds by 50%.

I think you meant Grumm.

It still was pretty easy. I played Agro-Indy without Grumm quite a bit.

It was good at the lower levels. Once I got up high, however, I noticed a decided drop in power.

Maybe you found it still good, but I found that indy had far more power. They were pretty equal for me, before.

The black market buy should be 21, so agrarians and hawkers have incentive to cooperate. If that works out, then selling black market at 6, 7 wouldn't be too bad. Assuming you could convince the squirrels to buy grains off moles.
Back. I think.

7 was too high, I tell you.

From now on let's propose buy/sell combinations. Formerly, we had 21/7. I now propose 20/5.

I second the motion, Mr. Speaker.

20/5 works. But it might be too optimistic to expect to be able to sell food to the hawkers, even at that.
Back. I think.
