Distance from Capital penalty?

[cyberwop]

Is the penalty figured at raw distance? Or do better roads and highways effectively shorten that distance and lower the penalty?

[Genius of the Restoration]

It's just distance as far as I'm aware.

Is there a way to modify this penalty? I've exterminated and re-exterminated settlements and still had unrest. This is especially hard in the desert areas where the province sizes are very large.

Think of it as a natural limit on the size of your empire.

Games and garrisons and goodies and Governors.

Wouldn't editing the game defeat the purpose of playing?

Very true. It forces you to keep massive garrisons in troublesome, far away towns. This also forces you to make smart decisions about where to invade. Are you going to try to hold a poor province in the middle of a desert with an expensive garrison if it has no strategic or economic value? No. So only take provinces that can pay for their expensive garrisons and still produce a profit.

My fading memory recalls seeing a map showing the optimum places to locate capitals or some kind of downloadable mini-program to highlight the best place and minimise distance penalties.

Google beckons methinks!!

upgrading roads helps to curve this slightly and also its a common downfall in all major civilizations dating back to the first one. Out of sight, out of mind. Glory makes others dream of it to and eventually they want what you have.

Its so difficult on my part to figure out distance.
