Siege weapons I had up to max. Used food increasing to number of ppl makes sense. Was wondering all the time why I collect so much food without having use for it.
How to clear the forest?
In the blood moon after talking to Lord Steven, the forest location opens up. If you have many men, fewer will die. If you have few men, many soldiers will die. After killing all the orc groups in the forest, the next blood moon will be easier. By the way, if you have a lot of food you can sell it to Lella the merchant for coins. With the coins you can buy soldiers from Noah.
