Economic:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
As several people are confused on the economic system, I have decided to write it out.
You get 1 more coin for each person. For example, if you have 10 mil pop, you have ten mil tax income. End of story.
TRADE:
Basically, I liked the old system of a mod saying that value of each thing, but honestly it doesn't work. So, instead this is how it'll work.
Imports cost nothing.
Exports give you 100,000 coins per export. If I sell tin, fish, and furs, and import marble, chickens, horses, and trees,then I get 300,000.
It sounds like a lot, but with such huge populations as we're seeing, it's actually balanced.
Battles:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
WR battles were once all dice-roll, done by the moderator. However, this is very time consuming for the mod, and a proper RP is rarely present. So, here's a simple system that isn't very hard for the mod.
First, if you want an invasion make a thread for it. PM me the time and place and your forces, and I'll make a battle thread.
Post your starting orders. I'll post the NPC's orders.
When the troops clash, I'll use logic to determine effects.
You keep making tactical descisions until you win or lose.
EXAMPLE:
Nation A declares war on Nation B.
Battle will be fought in august in flanders.
Nation B defends.
Nation A has 1,000 knights charge
Nation B has 10,000 pikes charge.
Same orders.
Nation A charges.
Nation B charges.
Nation A loses 500 men.
Nation B loses 6,000.
Nation B wins.
There's a quicky.
Orders and Mercenaries:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Order Rules:
Level 1: 200,000 up front, 100,000 per turn, 20,000 of which goes to the nation in charge of the order (may only recruit 1 troop type of veteranl quality)
Level 2: 300,000 up front, 250,000 per turn, 50,000 of which goes to the nation in charge of the order (may recruit 1 troop type of guard quality and 1 of veteran qulaity)
Level 3: 600,000 up front, 400,000 per turn, 80,000 of which goes to the nation in charge of the order (may recruit 2 troop types of elite quality and one of veteran quality)
The troop types being chosen by the nation that owns the order.
At level 3, the elite units in question are unique and have bonuses like any other unique unit, thus the cost of a level 3 order is justified, though high enough that it cannot be exploited. The orders only allow you access to the troops, you still have to pay their upkeep.
Stickied and Locked, refer to the Inqueries thread if you have questions.
