[QUOTE="Myth Master, post: 8447556, member: 7020933"] Unfortunately, the famers, their wives and family = MEAT, and the grain fields surrounding the village are where they spend most of their time in the warmer months, unless they are out foraging farther afield. The fields of grain are completely irrelevant to the monsters who want to chow down on the villagers, except in so far as later in the summer, the crops are tall enough to provide some cover for them to bushwhack the villagers and have themselves a feast. Unfortunately, the lords and knights and their troops don't give a crap about anything but getting at and killing their rivals when at war, also. It is the free peasantry and the landbound/serf classes who suffered most and worst. Check out what the English did on [I]chevauchee [/I]during the 100 Years War. Destroying crops was part of the point of those tactics. [/QUOTE]
