It's actually quite fascinating. (Look I'm not gonna defend DPRK on this) The DPRK has this protocol for food rationing ruling that the military has top priority of being fed, hence they're the least likely to starve out of that population. I wonder how much rice they import though.

"An army marches on its stomach" Napoleon may or may not have said that but it is an important observation. Canning was invented when Napoleon offered 12,000 francs as a prize for whoever could preserve food for his army. Nicolas Appert would win the prize, creating a method involving heating, boiling and sealing food in airtight glass jars. Napoleon's soldiers would have these in a very limited amount as the technology was still in its infancy. In 1810 Frenchman Philippe de Girard invented tin canning and British merchant Peter Durand patented it. Canning was a big innovation seen in today's army rations.

A journal by a soldier I believe a Corporal in the Continental Army of the United States in the War of 1812 stated that he was given preserved salted meat a pound that was so salty that he had to boil it three times in order to make it even remotely edible and even then he had to boil it again in order to make a suitable soup

The Britons could eat during cold months or when their farms were looted by invading armies around harvest season or burned. Leeks, cabbage, berries, small game, big game if you're lucky enough in a region full of hungry soldiers, birds, wild vegetables (always tiny compared to domestic counterparts which were tiny themselves compared to our modern farmed foods). The Britons knew their environment best and knew what to go to in the forest during their own famines.

Grain were likely the main source of calories for every army around the world. The Han Dynasty army in ancient China gave their soldiers ~52 to 64 liters of grain rations per month (~1.38kg to 1.7kg of grains per day) composed of millet, wheat, and/or barley. So the average Han Dynasty soldier would be consuming approximately 4706 to 5780 Calories per day and 180 to 221 grams of protein per day from their grain rations alone. This is roughly comparable to the Calories that the Roman soldiers were consuming as well from what I've read. -p. 74 of Military Culture in Imperial China (2009) by Nicola di Cosmo Edit: Since some people are questioning these numbers, here is the actual quote from the source along with calculations: "...a total force of 10,281 men (amnestied convicts who had volunteered, infantry and private retainers), he cites 27,363 hu of grain and 308 hu of salt. This last set of figures amounts to a monthly ration of 2.6 hu of grain and 0.03 hu of salt. These may be compared with figures seen in a document from Juyan which suggest a ration of 3.2 hu of grain and 0.03 hu of salt. These figures correspond as follows (taking the hu at 19.968 liters): 2.6 hu - 51.9 liters; 3.2 hu - 63.8 liters; 0.03 hu - 0.5 liters." -page 74 of "Military Culture in Imperial China" by Nicola Di Cosmo, Robin D. S. Yates, and Ralph D. Sawyer Calculations of Calories and Protein from this source: 1 liter volume of dry grain converts to ~0.8 kg in mass. See: aqua-calc.com/calculate/volume-to-weight/substance/grain-blank-wheat So these soldiers had 41.52 kg to 51.04 kg of dry grains a month, which comes out to 1.384 to 1.7 kg of grains a day. 100 grams of whole grain wheat has 340 Calories, 13 grams of protein, and 2.5 grams of fat. 100 grams of millet has 378 Calories, 11 grams of protein, and 4.2 grams of fat. 100 grams of uncooked long grain brown rice has 370 Calories, 8 grams of protein, and 2.9 grams of fat. Wheat and millet would have been the primary crops at the time. If we use wheat to calculate their Calories, this would come out to 340 x 13.84 = 1705 or 340 x 17.0 = 5780. Protein would be 13 x 13.84 ~179.92 or 13 x 17.0 ~221 grams. So the average soldier would be consuming approximately to 4706 to 5780 Calories per day and 180 to 221 grams of protein per day from their grain rations alone.

Hey Simple History, To create more detail when you’re using grassland locales you could create a method for drawing grass or lines that make it look like grass fields. It would increase the complexity of the composition while being a simple method. Maybe draw tufts of grass put randomly all over the terrain, thus giving the illusion of a field of grass.

Once delivered the fish would be saturated and easy to break apart creating a preserved, high calorie, tasty spread for bread.
