That's tough, since protection is a property of the armor. I might give HC and Knights a smaller HP bonus, instead, like +20%.

Sounds better than +40% at least.

+1% per month - that's not wild, it's rabbit-quick!

At least, don't make it available to human races...

(Side note: it would be nice if a part of the pop. loss from death scales, or high taxes, turned up as emigration to neighbouring provinces; of course, it would need balancing, as a big empire might be able to turn taxes up at its center without too much trouble - but then, neigbours of Death nations would get some nice immigration...)

Make the minimump population that it kicks in at 100,000


If you made it +.5 per season/month it would be more realistic (30,000 People over the course of a Month produce 150 People. Which is your base capital. Reduce that to a more in mind number of (these people be doing the nastay) 1000 People have 5 (Hah) children per month. 60 Children a year from 1000. 500 Couples produced 60 Children on top of the growth scale. 1 in 8.3 Couples in a year had Children.

I don't know about you; but that seems 'rabbit' enough. Like Teen Pregnancy statistics they warn you about. And that is only HALF your scale Sabre, not even counting the growth scale.

That means

New Theme:

Dreamers and Schemers - The population is very clever, and people spend their time dreaming up new ideas, studying things that interest them, and schemeing up ways to make money. Unfortunately, nobody wants to do the actual work, or even patrol the streets to ensure safety of the populace, which is especially bad since the schemers will stoop to organized crime to make a buck. Effects: Income bonus +50%, all mages get 1 extra random pick, all non-mage, non-priest leaders get "stealthy +0" or an additional +5 if already stealthy. Province defense costs double. Additional leaders: sage and spy (maybe renamed to "Dreamer" and "Schemer"). All national non-priest leaders cost 15% extra (rounded to the nearest 10, minimum cost of 10). Required scales:

Turmoil 1 or lower
Sloth 3
Luck 1 or higher
Magic 1 or higher

Nation Point Cost: 200 (to be adjusted as needed for balance)


Zen and PhilD - remember, humans are capable of multiple children per birth. And the months in Dominions are of indeterminate length. Also, I always assumed some of the population change came from uncounted rural families moving into or out of the provincial "main city", where they would be counted by the census and taxed, rather than just births and deaths. Finally... magic can do magical things=)

On that theme idea; perhaps you could limit the Dominion >4 at creation to illustrate the belief system that is not centered around the God; but on the abstract (Dream'n) and money (Schem'n).

Good idea, thanks! And possibly some sort of moneylender pretender, "The Great Investor". Not sure what he'd do, though=) Maybe build castles for half down, and 1.9% APR=)
