Exporting food ?

[Shakiko]

I guess it's not a bug, because alot of people reported that they like the export good feature, but right now I don't get how it is working. So perhaps someone can help me out ?

Right now, once I got a granary or smokehouse, I can cast a spell called "export food" in a city.
In the city screen, some food (2) gets subtracted.
But none of my other cities gets +2 Food

So am I missing a step ? How do I get the food transported to another cirty ?

you have to cast "import food" in the city you want the food to go to

Doh!

As I can't test it right now (being at work), just a follow-up question.

Do I need to move the unit that casted 'Export food' to the new city that shall receive the food ? (Cast Export food with Unit A in City A, then cast import food with Unit A in City B ?)

Or can I cast export food with Unit A in City A and then Import food with another Unit B in City B ?

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

any unit will do

Exporting food allows Kuriotate settlements to grow above size 1. Guessing this is non-intentional as they're still totally useless even with 2 or 3 extra population

How do you cast export food? I see no such option.

 

[sungchiahao]

I don't see the option either.

Export food is old feature, dropped looong time ago.

Now, you can cast global enchantment or use Great Merchant to pop food bonus to increase your food production.
