Tien Chi Conscription

>Slaves? Only Mictlan is supposed to get slaves.

My mistake, it is Mict that gets the slaves.

How much do these commanders that can conscript cost?

Tien Chi's conscription is automatic in their dominion and dependent on order scale and defense allready present in province. The capture slaves order for Mictlan is available to Tribal Kings and Priest Kings for 45 and 250 respectively. Using the Priest Kings to capture slaves is not very cost effective even if they do get more than the tribal kings.

Has anyone EVER seen that work, EVER?
I just tried out a T'ien game (standard theme of course) and set for Order 3 and a dominion of 7 (using Oracle).

I kept a good eye on my PD, and I never once saw it improve, ever, even with Order 3.

Is this a bug?
Or is the improvment you have been hinting at somehow... intangible? But nevertheless there?

I'm not sure what the algorithm is, but I think it maxes out very quickly.

i.e. if you have more than VERY LITTLE pd the probability of an increase goes to zero

I doubt you will EVER see an increase in your home province pd, for example...

I think the ablity should be improved a little, if only to cut down on the "it's broken!!" threads....

PD appears to rise slower and slower as the total PD in the province increases. The first few are pretty quick and it gets ever-slower thereafter. That said, I have seen 10 PD provinces climb to 13 over a period of 1-2 dozen turns. As I said, it's slow when you have a bunch already.

PD increase is 'flavoring', not something I'd rely upon.

EDIT: I commented on this very thing in the Ashikaga mod thread, as that mod replaces TC, and thus (inadvertently) gets the TC base nation bonuses (the mod also gets TC heroes).

I did search before posting and posted upon this thread I found (hence did not make new "its broken" thread)

I didnt get a PD improvement in provinces with PDs of 6 or more, ever.
