Default Re: Death scale on Abyssia

Easiest way to test: mod the Growth/Death scale income bonus/penalty and see if Abysia's income changes even when they have neutral growth.

I think vfb is correct. At least this is how I understood the description. Its not like growth is not possible for Aby, its that they gain much less from it than the other nations. Optimization and synergy being the key words.

One possible fix to Aby is conj1/conj0 national spell that summon soldier like units. This way they will depend less on income for early start. Later in game luck/blood/expansion will allow Aby to live with sucky income.

ver3.21 EA Abysia gets the full income effect of growth/death scales if the equation for income on page 37 of the manual is correct. I tested by starting games with different growth/death scales and comparing the income of the capitol on "default" ground.

H3 only, pop 29730, and cave castle gave 341 gold
H3D3, pop 30050, and cave castle gave 324 gold
H3G3, pop 30210, and cave castle gave 367 gold

Solving for the (dominion scale modifiers) gives:
H3 only: (dominion scale modifiers) = 0.997
H3D3: (dominion scale modifiers) = 0.937
H3G3: (dominion scale modifiers) = 1.056
