Distance to Capital

[Sun of Chersonesos]

i hated the squalor most in RTW, the problem was that certain eastern and barbarian factions were unable to control squalor because they didn't have sewer buildings and what-not.

Simply adding population migration would not only alleviate this problem but also add a touch of realism.

factoring in population in the region as opposed to merely the capital would also help.

Sadly not. But I did read that the types of grass on the tactical maps have been redone - obviously a FAR better use of time

Ha you thought squalor was bad before,


This time we have the BLACK DEATH, as a event. Yay for plague event of doom

DistanceToCapital appears to be capped at 80%. The only time I've had any trouble with it was in my Spanish game where I took antioch (36k inhabitants, 100% islamic) while my capital was in Leon. That one needed an extermination.

Actually, the black death reduces squalor.

Yes it does.

No, that doesn't make any sense, but it is true.

Really!

Fewer people means less squalor, even if those fewer people are living in an open, plague-infested graveyard. It's all about living space, apparently. Everything else is secondary to the medieval commoner.
