Publicado originalmente por angryperson:You end up working less with just grains. If you ever need to supplement, you can gather berries and fish. I really did try with pulses when I first started but it's just not worth it. And lastly, whatever pulses you don't eat will expire at the end of the next season, whereas grain lasts 2 years. Plus, all the straw allows you to have more animals, and with set limits and auto-slaughter, I constantly have an abundance of meat and bread.
Plus it frees up 2 entire seasons each year for me to hunt or start up building projects without ever being worried about food for my people or animals. While your guys are sowing and harvesting in winter and summer, mine only walk a few steps to the granary to grab some grain and a few steps to cook it up, anytime they want, year round. You end up working less with just grains. This means your workload doesn't spike to 150% but only to 100% :D Publicado originalmente por Vrtni kuščar:I really like pulses because they get planted in the winter and harvested in summer which is between the grain planting/harvesting season.
