Population,extermination and slavery questions.

**Strategist** · October 16, 2008, 01:54 AM

If I enslave population 2/3 of it goes to other governed cities right? But does it gets like normal population? It should not because they are slaves and not like the normal population paying taxes. My point is slaves should work for you for free except maybe giving them food and decreasing farming input from a given village.
What traits can exterminations give and what bonuses exactly? Also when a huge city rebels which needs extermination haven't you noticed that the garrison (rebel) is pretty much a lot and experienced even better than my soldiers lol! How did they gained this experience by fighting with wooden sticks or what? And they even have chariots, cavalry and heavy infantry.

I am talking about E/E or M/M difficulty. Another very strange this is that around 220 BC i conquer whole Europe and what to see - the villages actually have not more than 500-2000 population?! I mean W-T-F? This is super unlogicall like every 3 years somebody exterminate them and interesting who could be that after they are not even captured from another faction. Also even on highest taxes and minimal bonuses it's impossible for a village to have 500 pop 100 turns in the game!!! There aren't even any building build in it which proves there is no such thing like extermination ever done because there was not even a progress. I haven't queued units to reduce it so much because I cannot recruit anything and i am talking about villages in center of Europe. Like where germania/britannia start to the northeast of Gaul. This makes the game harder because I need to transport by road population that is far behind having in mind that most cities have bad roads because little pop...

Ok, Strategist, I see that many of your posts right now have been exclaiming and complaining about in game things that are unrealistic. Please remember that RTW is a game not the real thing. You can't expect everything totally the same as if it were real. CA made the game that way, and that's how it is. End of Story.

The only question in that massive pile of complaints and incredulity which I can answer is "what traits can exterminations give and what bonuses exatly?" Well constant extermination can usually result in the general of the army which conquered the city a "Bloody" trait.

my general got sanquinary after exterminating everysingle city i conquered. alexandria has 14000 population even after exterminating. another extermination cleared that problem. i hate unhappy citizens. i show ZERO TOLERANCE. THOSE WHO OPPOSE MY RULE SHALL PAY WITH THE LIVES OF THEIR FAMILY. PEOPLE SHOULD BE GOVERNED THROUGH FEAR AND TYRANNY NOT LOVE AND WISDOM. PEOPLE ARE UNFIT TO GOVERN THEMSELVES.

gaaaaaahahhahahahhahahhaha

Why thank you for this enlightened answer, I will be sure to send it to the High Priest that he may divine a message from it that mortals can understand.

As for the OP, take it as it is. Unless you want to change files or the engine for that matter, complaining doesn't work. There are mods which adressed some of your problems, but not everything can be done. And not everything needs to be changed because it works well.
