Good day,
Still doing Europe starting adventure. In scenario 1 with amount of labor I had , I built what farms I could, and some fleece sheds. I made sure that only put labor in to barebones, except for a gym I put up. More and more people came to my house , the farms produced, and everybody’s got fed; farms said they’d be ready next July.
With all the extra people that came in I could now build all the extras as well as more fleece and dairies to
help out ; waited waited waited for the dairies to produce anything while more people came in and tipped me over the 1000 mark to the next episode
End result? As I ran out of food, and dairy just trickled, I began losing huge amounts of population right before the wheat appears in July, paralyzing everything . Can’t find any guide on how to solve the crunch

I'm actually replaying Zeus and Europa right now, and I experienced the same weird crunch in the first episode. I think it was because, just as luck would have it, the last few adventures I'd played I had started with fish, urchins, or hunting lodges to provide food, and they produce fairly quickly. Farms only offer a harvest once per year, and goats are only milked once a year also. I solved the problem simply by building a bunch of wheat farms (and a few extra dairies, because I like cheese) to give myself a good food stockpile. This also helped absorb a larger-than-usual unemployed population.
