Re: Dominion effects
"It is appr 23% after 30 turns. And you get the 6% flat income increase, and the supply bonus, and are not eligeble for certain bad luck events. Growth scales were by many considered one of the no brainers in dom 1, now its effectiveness is reduced by giving it 3% less of an income increase per step, I still think it is a useful scale.
Population growth in excess of 9% a year seems absurd to me."
Inspired by the Astral Clam and Fever Fetish, I generally try to normalize investment calculations over 10 turns. During that time, IICC, the pop bonus averages 1% per level, add the direct +2% and that's +3% gold/lvl/turn. With Order giving +7%, your troops need to be real hungry to make up the difference. As for 9% being excessive, no argument. The cost/lvl could be adjusted downward instead or something. Are the starting gold and population numbers untouchable?
You did raise another interesting point though: which scales influence particular events? Magic I know does (and I'm pretty sure effects Crossbreeding too), and you've just said Growth. Is Productivity/Sloth or Heat/Cold required for any events? I imagine that Order & Luck only effect the chance?
