Default Re: Abysia and Death Scale

OK I'm missing something here... how does Abysia favor death over other nations? Does it not kill the same percentage of pop as the other nations?

Abysia does not lose supplies with Death scale, or gain any with Growth, and if Growth/Death affected income that is negated too. IIRC

No.
Abysia is immune to the effects of the Death scale on supplies and income. Heat effects on income etc. are normal.

But Abysia favours Heat +3, so it could be argued that the income effects of Heat +3 are negated... People still die under Abysian Death-dominion, but the supplies etc. are not affected. Wasteland Survival implemented in Dom:PPP, IIRC.

It's the deviation from the "prefered value" that's results in a income reduction ... .

So Abysia is at 100% at heat-3.

On a small, quick map Abysia can probably tolerate death more than most nations. But taking death of a large, slow map is rarely a good choice for anyone.
