I'm curious to know how many explorations are left. The Kooluk one has me waiting on the edge of my seat. Is anyone else waiting on theirs?

You could have just checked those listed in the DOIs against those that have been posted, but Grassland, Harmonia, Nameless Lands, Tinto, Zexen, and Kooluk's are not posted yet.

You know Sage, I never feel quite as dumb as I do when you're around. For some reason that didn't even cross my mind. Thanks for the tip, now I look like a moron.

Well, this phase is progressing as slow as ever, mainly due to me being real busy with my work and because I've had some social life these days, but things should be back to normal now with less work and no social life. Good news for Suikox.

Anyhow, I'll run the region investment script in like 48 hours or so, so you folks have some time to get yourself organized.

Otherwise, I'm working on the map, etc so sit tight.

Don't rush on our account... I like it when it's not so fast. Then my head doesn't want to explode. >_>

Vector Xthonic, it has been a while now. Have you run the investment script yet? Just wondering, no need to rush or whatnot if you have other matters to deal with. ^^

The script has been run and all region stats have been updated. Along with the changes in stats, populations have started to fluctuate starting this phase.

Vextor · Posted: Mon Oct 30, 2006 6:01 pm Post subject:

by the way, the population increase/decrease for phase 12 was somewhat of a hack job. Phase 13 will see some improvement.

Basically, the phase 12 change only took Happiness and Ethics into account.

Phase 13 will take Agriculture and Garrison quantity into account as well. A higher garrison will basically compensate for lower ethics, and lower garrison will nullify high ethics.

Also, the maximum population of a region will simply be the agriculture value x10000. This means a region with an AGR of 5 can sustain apopulation of 50000, while a region with an AGR of 95 can sustain a population of 950000.

On top of that, AGR will start to go down steadily in a future phase, but this will be beyond phase 13. (Because farmland degrades after use, and has to be re-cultivated).

That makes sense I guess. I'm looking forward to it.

So once the map is updated I guess we can call Phase 12 done?

For you guys, yes.

For me, I have to get a few other stuff done.

Looking into the far future as well, what if the population reached its maximum, and then the AGR stat starts to degrade? Will the people automatically die of starvation? Or maybe the nation can help (or choose to) move them somewhere else?

Protectorates have their food supplied from outside sources, and thus are exempt from AGR effects. Protectorates provide a very specialized function, and people that live there don't go about their daily life like others in normal regions.

There is no plan to "balance out" AGR degredation. This means nations that have many regions will have a lot more trouble keeping up with their agriculture; or they'll have to simply think of certain regions as being "worthless" and simply focus on a select few number of regions.

When the AGR stat degrades, that doesn't mean people die of starvation. They probably move elsewhere or something. However, a nation won't have a say as to where they go (from a RP sense).

Indeed, unless it's very gradual and/or random, it'll be a nightmare to manage. Maintanence and decay have always been my weak point.
