One general per city?

[VektorT]

So, I came back to Third Age. I saw in a topic somewhere that each general cost around 500 coins per turn. (ouch!)
Back in vanilla Medieval and Stainless Steel I used to keep one general in every city, but with that most cost I wonder... does it worth the cost in Third Age? Smaller town that grants me less than 1k... do I need a general there? Generals, when ruling, still cost unkeep? Should I had adoptions or only pure bloods?

I'm using DaC, by the way, if it matters.

In Rome and parts of medieval a large amounts of generals will tank your economy BUT good governor generals can increase growth of smaller cities, thus in the long run making you more money.

Hi Petrobras, well met

does it worth the cost in Third Age?

really, no; except for few major cities there is little sense in having governors in villages, towns and even the majority of large towns as they won't repay themselves with enough money. A 7 chivalry general will add 0,5% to the growth of your city (not sure if in DAC has been changed though).

Generals, when ruling, still cost unkeep?

the upkeep of the bodyguards is 250 gp, the other 250 gp are calculated as wages; you can only save yourself 250 gp if you camp a general into a fort (not a settlement, but the kind of fort you build along with watchtowers), but no, general's bodyguard upkeep will not be saved if they stay into a city/castle

Should I had adoptions or only pure bloods?

that does not matter at all with regards to costs, but usually a fruitful/powerful family member will generate fruitful/powerful heirs.

Thanks, Flinn!
That's all I need to know!

By the way... where I can mod this? I think this value is to high to me. Makes no sense.

data\descr_character.txt --> wage_base in the "named character" section = wages of named characters (family, generals).

data\export_descr_unit.txt --> the stat_cost entry contains the upkeep cost of the bodyguard unit. See the comments at the top of the file.
