How does Foraging work?

[Puupertti Ruma]

At least Sweboz and Sarmatian FMs have an ability to forage enemy tiles. The trait says it works by taking your FM to enemy's land. I researched this a bit and found out it does not show up in the economy scroll in any way. I guess that means it works by the script.

So what I'd like to know is the mechanism behind it and the actual boni it gives? The amount of money, how is it triggered and some such. Also couldn't it be given to other factions too, in more limited way maybe?

I think it just prevents them from having supply trouble when in enemy territory... so no "rationing" or "belts tightened" or the like. Maybe. Could be wrong.

[BozosLiveHere]

Each general that is foraging gets 300 mnai a turn. It's given by script.

boni

It's bonuses, mate ;)

Just because this is RTW, let's not go mad with the whole "Latin endings" thing :beam:

I don't see what's wrong with saying boni, bonus is straight out of Latin, afterall

[I Am Herenow]

Well, in English they simply haven't adopted that ending for that word (unlike for, for example, "platypus").

Ahh, don't get so keen.
