public order

[ludwag]

Hi. I just wonder if you are going to do anything about the public order in eb? Becouse when capturing cities the only option if you want to keep the city is sacking it.

I have occupied only a few cities without sacking them, and even though the governors influence is high, and the garrison is about 3000 soliders they are very angry. Cisites not long from the capital and cities I have kept for many, many years building everything I can and with populations low.

I think now, about 50% of the game is about keeping public order low in every city, and when the governor dies, they turn red. Most of my cities are blue, but I keep building, and having great garrions and governors with high influence.

You may say "its historical accurate". But I think a population of 20k, should be kept quiet by my largest army and my best family member after I have had the city from the beginning. Is it possible to reduce "distance from capital" counting? Its hard, and stressing.

Yes, we will do stuff with the public order. You may not have an easier time keeping order in a huge empire though, I think that will be harder than in EB1.

The population in cities is not something you can take at face value. It's an arbitrary number that doesn't reflect anything about the actual population of the region, realistic population levels or anything like the number of people needed to maintain the armies.

yeah ok, on historical accurate, what I meant to say was that the population is not realistic in rtr anyway. A little confusing post, sorry.

I totally agree with this right here. I mean, I'm almost 1,000 miles away from Washington, DC and I don't feel like inciting a riot!

Video game entertainment. TV. Propaganda. No starvation, even a luxurious surplus for many of the people. You don't riot because you have a good life.

In antiquity, you were living with the constant risk of a bad harvest. The only contact you have with your rulers is them coming occasionally to take away the small surplus that you have, and then some. Sometimes they would even come for you yourself, dragging you off to some war in a faraway land that you have no interest in, or even knew that existed.

That is absolutely RIGHT.

Doesn´t matter if the whole region is, a bar still gives +15 PO.
