Slave mechanics

[Lissandr0]

hey guys,

in 0.96 i managed to have small amounts of slaves after i activated to edict, now , after some rounds to slave population seem to rise without indicator and without reason. How do the mechanics work behind it? Especially after an enemy took the city and i regained it slave population went through the roof with 70% and more!

Thanks in advance!

Looting (and maybe others as well) when taking a city enslaves the population. You probably did that when you retook the city?

Also, if another faction takes the city then their slave population will be assigned to it, I think. When you retake it you have to deal with that level of slaves that got imported. I could be wrong

[Lissandr0]

Ahhh ok, thanks for the information!

Is there a way to cap the slave population?
I have a province with just two cities and 90% slave population(!), is that maybe a cap? I'm not sure. But it's high like crazy. Public order is under control at 100 but 90%... wow.
Slave market Lvl 3 combined with Sell Slaves edict - which still gives me +5% slaves over time.

Let me get this straight:

I capture slaves after a battle, where does these slaves go? What determines the amount when the captives are a fixed number, but the settlement slave population is %?

I build a slave trade building, is the effect "global" for my faction or provisional? Same thing with edicts, does they effect the faction as well?

Thanks to anyone who knows.

Afaik the slaves will be spread all over your provinces. You can check how many Slaves u got, in the trade+finance panel (i guess it was there).
Slave trade building should be provincial effect. Same as edicts. But i could be totally wrong.

Disproportionately...

Disproportionately...

Yeah. Most of them go to the province where they were captured, and then to nearby provinces.

Next update I am fixing some of the slave market effects (they are doubled and messed up). Also I am adding a new effect to slave markets that makes the sell slaves edict reduce the population faster.

So, markets themselves will reduce the slave population decline (slave pop will go down slower than without markets). But, if you choose to use the sell slaves edict in their province, the slave population will go down faster with the edict than normal.

So no more 90% slave pop in provinces?

If the sell slave edict is provincial how do I reduce the slave population in provinces where I cant invoke edicts?

It goes down naturally over time, it'll just be slower.
