Garrison Effects

[warbeetle]

I posted this on the totalwar.com forum and someone said you guys may be interested in such things! (Maybe I can add some stuff regarding the whole public order thing later):

I realized this the first time working in 1.1. BUT it seems to have not changed in 1.2.! It works without changes in different difficult settings! And maybe also with different unit sizes, but havn´t tested this right now!

How to plan garrisons
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did anyone already notice this?

You can exactly count the numbers of men you need, to give a town the maximum effect of garrison(80%)

formula:

([number of soldiers] : ([Number population]:100) ) * 3,5 = %Garrisson influence

shorter:
(x:(y:100))*3.5=z

If you want the number of people a town can have with a special amount of soldiers at 80% garrison try this:

population= ((soldiers*3,5) : [80]%) *100

shorter:
y=((x*3,5):z)*100

Example:
1.Minimum:A town with 700 people Population needs exactly 160 Men for a garrison of 80%. This means you don´t need a second unit of 160 men until population gets over this number

2.Maximum:20 units 0f 240 peasants can give a town of 21900 people 80% garrisson

As a rule: have one unit of 160 men for every 700 people or one unit of 240 men for every 1050 people
