What Does Demand/1D Mean in Medieval Dynasty

Demand/1D shows you how much of a resource you have in your supply and how much the village uses each day.

In Medieval Dynasty, you’ll see a section written as–Food: Demand/1D.

And beneath that will be–342436 (3423).

It looks like the following photo.

The number on the left is what your village has in its stock.

It’s your supply.

The number to the right, in parenthesis, is how much your village uses each day.

If the number in the parenthesis is bigger than the number on the left, then it means you have a deficit.

Your villagers are using more than what you’re producing.

So, the Demand/1D stat is a quick way to see how your village is doing.

How To Use Demand/1D to Become More Efficient in Medieval Dynasty

While the Demand/1D is useful for a quick glance at information about your village, it’s also useful for determining whether you’re producing too much.

In my village, I have far more food and firewood than I need.

I could use that information to scale back and focus my villagers on producing other things.

This helps me become more efficient because I can keep the supply closer to demand and use my workers to produce other things that might earn the village more money.

Check out your Demand/1D numbers and see how you’re doing in regards to meeting the needs of your villagers.
