Management

The management screen controls production mix and how your people eat.

Weaponsmith mix

Set how many swords, bows, maces, pikes, and crossbows each weaponsmith should make. The combined total cannot exceed your weaponsmith count.

Food rations

Set how much food your people eat. Higher rations mean faster population growth (if you have housing). Lower rations slow growth and free food for explorers and army.

For the protection boom, Very High is a safe default for new players; experienced players (and Franks especially) often use Extremely High. If unused people pile up, dial down. If farms/hunters sit empty, raise rations so jobs fill.

Check status and the turn report after changes — empty jobs and winter wood still matter even with perfect rations. Every October, confirm you can feed ~5 winter months before starvation (see Protection start).
