I never knew piety boosted income...
Little did i imagine that lazy CA used the "Management" scrolls from RTW to implement 'Piety' but also leaving in the boost to income... and not letting us know

Atleast there is something to simulate more income by having a governor (= possible better management)... though i am struggling to wrap my mind around how being pious can boost income????????

Well it's probably because the more pious your governor is the crazier he'll get, calling the inquisition and burning people alive. Incidentally, did anybody see my torch?

[Privateerkev]

It only raises your piety if you're Catholic, and that's only if no younger ones are available.

And just how are my governors going to produce heirs if they are too busy with 16 year old boys?

Ah i get it... slacking in work or corruption will lead to being burnt in the stake!!! No wonder productivity increases!!!

Because tax in medieval times was oftentimes paid to the church.

Nope, they just had their own set of tithes on top of the government ones. I think the basic reasoning was that "everything you give to the Church, you get back a hundredfold in Heaven... SO GIVE US EVERYTHING YOU GOT ALREADY, and be quick about it, you might go to Heaven anytime my son *nods toward his heavily armed escort*"

These academic buildings mentioned, what are they? I knew in rome, and as I recall there were libraries or something in mtw, but in m2tw I only see alchemists labs.

I searched on the forums, and I searched on the google and I even searched in the descr_ files but came up with nothing. How kin I ever build an academic building to learn me up some generals if I cain't learn what they am called?

[Kobal2fr]

For cities, they are alchemic_lab/alchemic_school/university, and for castles library/academy. All factions do not get all of them, as only Danes, Scots, Poland and Hungary have castle academias.
Everyone gets the city ones, but only the University can be built before the gunpowder event.

Quick question: why have Warmongers been moved to the Guides section and Statesmen have not? Militaristic prejudice, I tell you! Someone should smite the moderator with a rolled-up edict!

[Kobal2fr]

Because I'm told space in the guides' section is at a premium. So they rolled the two guides into one big treatise, with The Prince added as post 2 of The AoW

I could probably ask sapi to switch them around (i.e. The Prince as post 1 and AoW as post 2), but *shrug*. He's got enough workload already.

[sapi]

You'll have to ask froggy to do that - it's out of my control now that it's been moved.

I'm sure she'd be happy to do so if you wish, however.

Might as well confine discussion to the new, merged thread.

Closed.
