Devastation is a feature I have just reasantly realized is not just a visual pluss, it actually does things (which all of you totaly know of course... I was slow to realize this)
Help me/everybody out to better udnderstand and better use this feature!
This is what I know:
Devastation appears as black burns on the map.
Devastation affects income in a region, therefore it is good in enemy lands, and bad in your own. I have seen it appear where battles have been fought.
What I don't know but would like to know:
Does Devastation affect anything else but income? and how much does it affect income, and/or other things.
How long does it take for devastation to disapear? Is there any way to speed up/slow that process? (obs in game mechanics is what I am looking for, not through moding this one)
How does Devastation appear? (Is it enough to stand with an army on enemy lands? do you have to stand on their farmland texure? is it related in any way to massakre/occupation/sacking?)
All strategies, tips, tricks, fixes, exploits... anything on devastation.. post!
