Anthropoid -> RE: New Advanced Economy Guide Available! (6/8/2009 7:08:34 PM)
|
Hey I just read the whole Advanced Economy Guide (AEG) and just have to say: Wow! Excellent document! Great work BJMorgan!!
There is one question that remains a tad bit foggy to me: Waste. Here I'll just quote myself from the other thread where I recently asked the question, Anthropoid's Jager Infantry thread
quote:
Hey here's a question for ya Sarge: "waste."
What exactly is being "wasted" with higher waste? Money, food, horses? Everything? I'm guessing more-or-less everything is subject to "waste," and thus, all else being equal, a province will not acheive maximum productivity for any of its activities until it has 5 courts?
Courts. The manual says "level 5 courts no waste." Does that mean that a province with 1 court has 20% less "waste" than one with zero, and that one with 2 courts has 40% less? or is it a silly binary setup (God I hope not, this game is otherwise so well done, that would just be an utter farce . . .)
Also, I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess a couple other things: provinces that are conquested, or more likely to harbor revolts, or perhaps farther from the capital will suffer higher starting waste than others?
Is building up all provinces with additional courts a good strategy to improve productivity and efficiency?
Reading the AEG, I am now tending to the conclusion that there is NO benefit from reduced waste with provinces that have less than 5 courts . . . In short, if you have 31 provinces, all with four courts, the waste level will be the same as if you have 31 provinces with three or two or one or zero courts?? Do you only get the benefit from reduced waste if that thirty-first one has five courts, and does it not matter if there are four courts in all thirty of the other ones?
As you'll see in that thread, Sarge did his best to respond, but he was not entirely certain on some points.
