Thank you Foz,

I touk a look at descr_settlement_mechanics.xml

would you know what "pip" would stand for?

As for religion, there is SOF_RELIGIOUS_UNREST and SOF_EXCOMMUNICATION.

So I am guessing that religion in reality does not play any direct role except affecting Public Order.

For instance if a province is at 100% a certain religion, there is no penalty to Public Order, and as tha percentage drops there starts to be Religeous Unrest which affects Public Order by the factor there.

So in the purpose of time scaling, I beleive, this does not have any big effects.

For instance, at a scale time of 0.5 you could be converting 5% (exemple) of a given population every 6 motnths, for a total of 10% per year.

And at a scale time of 1.0 you convert 5% per year.

A difference of 5% between the two, for me at least, does not warrant modifying these factors, as Religion affects are not direct.

The big question I am having here, is if when changing the value of timescale in descr_strat, that value affects the factors in the .xml files once processed.

We know that it does not affect values such as Building times in .txt files.
