How to Avoid Hunger
Cooking Fire
Your main method of keeping your followers full is the Cooking Fire. You will need to gather ingredients and cook food here to keep your followers from starving.
| Best Early Game Food | Effect |
|---|---|
| Basic Berry Bowl | ▼15% chance of the follower pooping instantly. |
| Meager Mixed Meal | ▲10% chance of increasing Follower loyalty. |
| Tatsy Fish Meal | ▲25% chance of dropping valuable resources ▼15% chance of the follower vomiting instantly. |
| Hearty Meat Broth | ▲25% chance of dropping valuable resources ▼15% chance of the follower pooping instantly. |
Grass Eater Trait
Grassy Gruel is a food that only requires (5) grass but comes with negative effects. By using the Doctrine to unlock the Grass Eater Trait (Sustenance II) you can cancel out the negative effects of Grassy gruel and easily keep your followers full in the early stage of the game.
Best Doctrines to UnlockKitchen
By unlocking and building the Kitchen, your followers will be able to cook food for themselves while you are out crusading. However, this isn't a necessity and it will take a while before you can unlock it.
Farming
You can also invest Devotion in the Divine Inspiration tree for farming related buildings to produce food resources, but the Farming Bundle is all you really need in the early game. So we recommend prioritizing other buildings once you unlock the Farming Bundle.

Rituals
Ritual Fast
Ritual Fast can lock the followers' Hunger gauge for a couple days and allow you to go on long crusades without worrying about your followers starving. This is especially useful late game when you need to leave your base for a long time.
Feasting Ritual
Early on in the game, Feasting Ritual is another option that is very useful as it takes care of Hunger and increases Faith simultaneously. Whichever you choose, it should be one of the first Doctrines to unlock.
