For you wilderlands fans.

I was doing some work on Woe (Map 5, Hex 2622) which included the 5 mile area map. I wanted to see how much farming it would take to support Woe and figure I would share the data with the rest of you.

This info is taken from Triumphant Grand Tactical and Demographics found in Wilderlands of High Fantasy (old) and the Ready Ref Sheets

some definitions

1 able bodied men = 4 to 5 people or 1 household.
1 sq mile will feed 320 able bodied men
1 sq mile needs 30 able bodied men to utilize at 100%
1 5 mile hex has 13,856 acres
1 5 mile hex has 21.65 sq miles
1 5 mile hex has 625 .2 mile hexes
1 .2 mile hex has 22.17 acres
1 .2 mile hex has .035 sq miles
1 5 mile hex, with 100% utilization, can feed up to 6928 people.
1 5 mile hex will require 650 able bodied men to utilize at 100%

Note the book give 6400. This looks like a math error unless they are making note you are never going really get 100% utilization. If you want to do this then the max utilization is 80%.

1 .2 mile hex will feed 11.085 able bodied men
1 .2 mile hex will require 1.039 able bodied men

1 historical manor has 1500 acres
(includes a hamlet or village)
1 historical manor will 70 able bodied men for labor
1 historical manor will feed 750 able bodied men.

Finally

640 acres to feed 1 able bodied nomad/hunter gatherer.
1 5 mile hex will feed 20 able bodied nomads (rounded it)
30 .2 mile hexes will feed 1 able bodied nomad.

Enjoy

P.S. I made a nearby steading that will supply half of Woe's food. A quarter of Woe's food comes from fishing and hunting along the marches and river. The remaining quarter is bought at the market in Darkfield. There is not a direct road to City-State from Woe. So they use the same market as City-State merchants use at Darkfield.

Now that´s the shit I dig!

I realized right now, that you wrote the adventure I´ll be DMing on Saturday:
The Thieves of Badabaskor!


I hereby announce your enrollment into my book of cool people.

Rob, as it happens this is directly useful for the campaign I'm planning. Thanks for that, and also for those files you sent me.
