i have heard about and want to know how to turn it on


there also needs to be the 0% food stockpile option for cities, often when you conquer 4-5 within 10 minutes, you lose the last 2-3 (and have to reconquer them) because whenever your units leave, they take most if not all the food with them (which is a huge pain in the ass, especially since alot of the time they're going to somewhere with plenty of food)and the rest of the cities wont pass the food along until they have hit 25% (and there often arent enough supply nodes to directly connect newly conquered cities to cities with large food stockpiles

setting the food stockpile level at 0% would mean cities take enough food to survive, and pass on any excess, so that newly conquered territory doesnt rebel whenever your units leave, even if you have large garrisons to protect those cities

i wouldnt normally post about it, but its a pretty big issue, the tactical realism is one of the best parts of hegemony and unrealistic food management just takes some of that realism away from the game...

Completly disagree, its this feature of a supply model that gives the game a feel of realism, also it avoids haveing to teach the AI the difernce between sending 000s of men with no food and 000s of men with food to perform tasks.

Summa of your wants is to reduce it to an arcade game for the player, (where you can conquer anything you can reach as quick as you can reach it with no regard for logistical constraints)increase further the amount of AI work required to operate under those conditions, where little of the reality of logistics needs to be considered, not all would like that effect.

You can obviate some of your issues by not entering the newly conquered cities and then takeing out the units max carry load when it exits, the options of differnt supply types are to be found in gameplay, to the left of graphic changes, best to do that after selcting the scn and before doing anything else, two types of supply exist to suit slightly differnt styles of play.
