a lot fo newbie questions ...

[liga]

So, at the present ...

1) Supplies and desease: which is the chance that a given unit get starvation and/or disease
if you lack supplies ?

Kristoffer O
Not sure. You must be starving to get a disease. It is dependent on army size, supplies and how many units dont get to eat. It's a bit random IIRC.

I notice that sometimes, if there is a really lack of supplies, units get diseased in one turn ...

And which is the chance a unit get disesed if spent a turn in a C'tis Miasma dominion province ?

Kristoffer O.

Miasma is a percentage * dominion strength. Not sure of the numbers right now

4) Does any one now knows how precision really works, which is the effect of the range and so on ?

Kristoffer O

No

is there a cnahce somewhere someone will wisper us the answer ?

5) Morale and Route: does anyone now knows which is the "size dependent" effect on a squad morale ? If a unit/squad start to route there is
a possibility to recover it ? If you fail a morale check, how many points does your morale goes down ?

Kristoffer O
Morale is uncertain to us all. No one knows how it works. Your troops will not rally under any circumstances. Morale goes down by one two or perhaps three steps (the unit does not loose morale stat but the squad accumulates morale losses) depending on the failure of the test. Cowards often cause greater morale losses than brave ones. Beware of militia and starving troops.

6) Does units reatreating in a open field battle retreat in the fortress if there is a fortress in that province ?

Karacan
they scatter to neighboring provinces, no matter if they lead a sortie or attack a besieging party.

7) Spells: Is Zen close to finish is guide to spell ?

... I hpe something more during the week end ... I'm trying to improve the Manual Addenda but there are still a lot of foggy areas ...

"see" you monday
good week-end

I might add a question:

Does Fire resistance work against the flame helmets -3 reinvigoration?

Fire Resistance does not apply to the Flame Helmets Negative Reinvigoration.

As for Liga. The BQR and RQR are waiting on Johan's return for some somewhat minor specifics to be filled in. There is a new Version of the MIQR and SCQR in the process of being PDF'd, when it is compelete I'll linkem up.

Bruce said I'm a perfectionist but we all know by now I'm hardly perfect.

Here's a (oh so terribly hypothetical ) question:

Suppose one selects a nation (e.g. marignon) with a particular climate preference (in this case temp=0)

If one were then to pick a theme that requires a particular temp setting (e.g., fires of the faith where temp is at least heat1) does this mean the optimal income preference of the nation is now heat1, or are you just being forced to deviate from the still optimal temp0?

now FotF theme costs 50 points, which is offset in part by the heat1 giving back 40 points, but this return is only genuine if the income set point has changed.

Is this the case?

If not, what exactly is the benefit of FotF? Auto-level1 preaching (in owned provinces?) is okay, but hardly worth 50 points straight up, especially since you can only pick one theme.

How does it work and what am I missing here?

Thanks,

I was recently burned pretty bad by my opponent playing FotF Marignon in a MP game. It wasn't the strong dominion he had all around his lands, but the fact that when he raided my provinces, my dominion went down very fast if I tallied even a little in retaking them. I was relying on my artifact-laden high-HP pretender fairly heavily so this was something to consider. Nothing fatal, but added complication.

Not sure how much one would value automatic preachers in raided lands in face of point usage, but still.

(IIRC heat preference doesn't change, so heat1 is bad for income&supply)

You are still being forced to deviate from the optimal temperature.

It's a level 1 inquisitor, so you won't have enemy dominion in your provinces very often.
