Castles and resource-sucking : a suggestion

[Kristoffer O]

The Dom I manual is old and there might be changes in some of the patches that didn't make it into the manual.

How does the math behind Admin->Supply work out? Is it a percentage boost to the province's original supply level equal to Admin? Or is it, as somebody mentioned earlier, a flat increase equal to 4xAdmin (i.e. 80 for an Admin 20 fort)? Does it extend into neighboring provinces, diminishing over distance? I'd like to put the hard stats into the manual, if possible.

Those are what you're s'posed to tell us I hope it is not NxAdmin, unless all the castle stats have completely changed, because then only Ash Ermor could use 0-admin castles. But then, I hope all the castle stats have changed, because only a couple seemed any good...

It would be nice if all the game's formulas could make their way into the manual, along with examples: "A Nightmare with fear attacks a militia that has mistform. Here's a description of each and every roll that will be made."

is it not supposed to be 4x admin value in the castle province, diminishing by a factor of 1 for each province away (so 1x admin if 3 provinces away)?

I think that at least that is in the manual.

That's 4x in the castle province, 2x 1 province away, then 4/3x, 1x, 4/5x, and 0x 5 provinces away and further.

That never was in the manual - I had to testbed a bit to figure out these numbers about 2 years ago.
