Newb question: Low resources in capitol

[lch]

How high is your dominion? sounds like you're about to get dominion killed, if none of the other things apply.

Fate: I have Sloth 3, but I have used this pretender many times with Arcoscephale, and not had this problem.

I don't remember being hit with popultion lowering incidents. I have 30,150 in my capitol. Is that low? My unrest is 0 in my cap, and in all surrounding provs.

vfb: I DID build a castle in a neighboring province, and thought that might be the problem, so I demolished it. But, it didn't have any effect.

Ich: I have five candles in the cap and surrounding provs.

I also see that the surrounding provs have less than 10 resources each. Maybe that's the problem? But, I swear I was once able to recruit with more resources in my cap.

The 3.08 patch changed sloth to reduce resources -15% per point, rather than -10% per point as was the reduction before 3.08. This, plus the low resource provs around your capital, might account for the change.

[Thrawn]

Ah, I bet that's it. We started with 3.06 and switched midway. Well, I guess I'm in trouble then. LOL.

Thanks for the input.

It could be worse. In my most advanced game, I have sloth 3, about five crossbow
heavy armies relying on Level 2 Fire mages for their flaming arrows, and glamourous
supercombatants.

With the patch, my power went way, way down. Guess who is forging flame helmets
as fast as possible, hoping to negate at least one of the effects.

I presume that in the meantime you're just using Phoenix Power + burning an extra fire gem? The Flame Helmets save you the extra gem, but of course they cost extra gems to create...
