Food
Does anyone know if:
1) food will be open for trade
2) you can send a lot more food (instead of +3 via caravans) to a city.
Because I always ended up with a huge midwest population and a tiny New York. I would like to make a "bread basket" and have some cities (i.e. midwest or ukraine) send all of their extra food to some of my more important coastal cities.

It would be great to be able to send food to a high production/low food city as in Civ2. Better yet being able to pool food within an empire so as to allow for even growth. But I suspect it'd give us humans too great an advantage over the poor dumb AI.

I certainly hope so. The exchange of food is a big part of today's economy.
I wonder if you will be able to give food to a people even when the opposing government doesn't want you to. Like they say they will burn the food but you say you'll drop it from the skies in large crates...

Yes but when they get to the new city, they need food, So that city must be able to feed them

i never found it difficult to keep my populatio fed in civ 2 it just took a while to grow a city. and i think if your city was short food one of the two settlers would be able to produce enough food in one square for both of the population increases.
