    Is it possible to survive two famines in a row?

    Poor G9 Saxony was crippled by a small final 4,000 ton shortage.

    Shortage was so small due to swapping grain for potatoes and using the seed grain as food...............which is a good tactic provided your new potatoe harvest does not fail............now 2.4M tons short Sad Sad Sad )...........and Saxony is dead in the water.

    Historically Augustus got wiped out by his foreign policy.........getting wiped out by failed potatoe harvest just seems to lack something!

    I am sure if you contacted a big nation with a grain surplus they would sort you out. If you were in game 8 I would help you out.

    And in Game 6 ditto (a large nation with vagrant trouble but oodles of grain).

    That sucks.

    Fire off letters to everyone asking for help. Maybe someone out there can help you. Otherwise, you're kinda screwed.

    His Sacred Majesty the Emperor in game 9 has been known to be generous to Reich members in the past including Saxony.

    Pity Saxony is Protestant! But its Elector is a Catholic Very Happy .....does that count?

    In older games in which some powers are swimming in grain fairly sure someone would help out if only to save storage costs and damage to their trade zones (in G7 for instance my Spainish position used part of its 80m ton surplus to help Rumelia avoid a famine/damage to the Levant Trade Zone dispite not being a great fan of the Ottoman Govt of Rumelia) but G9 is a much younger game and I dont think we have any huge surpluses of hardy grain.

    Augustus the Strong is not exactly a lovable character and has been role played fairly true to life (Think I have been a bit light on the illegitimate Kids) and quite frankly quite a few powers may view him as a pain and be pleased to see the back of him.

    On the other hand........while the Ottomans and Russians have not yet made a move west some people may be happier to with Augustus holding the gates.
