Investigation of Devastation

[therother]

Ah, it seems I have more data with me than I thought. Luckily I'm in an expansion phase of my current game, so a number of my provinces that have devastation for one reason or another.

[The last two are yours.]

As you can see, your equation works pretty well, especially for those settlements with only one tile affected and who had a normal harvest.

There is a discrepency for high tile numbers though, including in your own example (244/40.8) = 5.98 (*)

Quite what is causing the slight aberation, I don't know. Perhaps it has to do with difficulty level, harvest, length of devastation time, etc.

(*) You got a little mixed up with your example in your last post. Threw me for a bit.

Edit: Perhaps I should make clear how I calculated CalcDev, in case I have messed it up.

CalcDev = 0.1* Farming Income*Number of Tiles affected
