Unrest Revisited

Nethog · #1 March 15th, 2004, 09:43 PM

I was browsing through the modding.pdf file today and noticed the following two entries:

Quote:

10.4 #unresthalfinc
The amount of unrest that cuts income in half. Default is 50.

10.5 #unresthalfres
The amount of unrest that cuts resources in half. Default is 100.

So in a standard D2 game, is the amount of income loss due to unrest a simple linear relationship? i.e. 0 unrest = 100% income, and 100 unrest = zero income? (all other income modifiers held constant)

Resource loss due to unrest was news to me. Does unrest actually reduce resources? and in the standard game is it also a simple linear relationship except 0 resources at unrest = 200?

After 100 Unrest you will be unable to recruit units which is an effective 0 Resources. Anything above and beyond 100 Unrest doesn't impact this at all except you have to take unrest down more in order to recruit units.

Not quite: While you won't be able to recruit anything in THAT province, I'm pretty sure that the portion of resources which is funnelled off to fortresses is still there, and will be cut in half at 100 unrest.

heres a question; if you have decided that you will only ever use a particular province for blood hunting, do you care about unrest at all?

I mean, if you dont care about the gold/resources you are bringing in, only the blood slaves, is there a reason to be concerned about unrest? Is there a point where the unrest causes the province to go independent again?

You get less slaves with hunting if unrest is too high. It also makes certain bad random events more likely to happen in that province.

More and more of the population will leave/vanish as unrest increases. So when hunting for slaves you want as little unrest as possible for this reason too.
