Also I guess I should ask what Dread does.

[Terenos]

What does Improve Land do? Expand the max rural pop?

[10ebbor10]

There is a limited amount of food a province can produce, based upon its fertility and the amount of
arable land it has (represented as how many rural pops it can support). You can expand this by
improving the land, which costs gold depending upon how many times it has previously been
improved.

Page 7 : Manual

[Terenos]

Missed that, heh. I should wait till I fully wake up before asking questions.

[Criptfeind]

By the way, the manual states that certain hero skills base are equal to their level (Specifically Leadership and Admin, and Mage Skill for Mages) does that mean that any included stats on their stat line are on top of that? So I had a level 3 admin 4 hero, they'd have admin 7 total?

Spoiler: Question of the Less Secretive Kind (click to show/hide)

1: As I have read and tried to discern multiple times in the manual, it seems like armies do not require a Hero for strategic movement?, is this the case?
2: As well, it states only marine units can move across the sea. Would this mean aerial units can't move across the sea, because of fatigue with continuously being in the air?
3: Thirdly, is possible for aerial cavalry to be a possibility?, maybe with Augmentation and Horses and such. but just a distinct idea for a possible intermix of unit classes

Spoiler: Answers (click to show/hide)

1.  Correct.  Heroes are optional leaders but armies can move and fight unled.  Heroes can also move without armies (but cannot engage an army without at least a bodyguard unit).
2.  Aerial units can 'hop' across the sea.  Thanks for asking this.  I'll add this into the next manual update.
3.  If you could find some sort of pegasi or equivalent, yes.

Public Answer Elements:
Aerial units can 'hop' across sea tiles, so long as they end their turn on a ship or land (aircraft carrier style).

Secret Questions

 If the Bronze mining carts are Iron ore what is the silvery ingot in 38?
Is there any limit to the number of buildings in a territory you can make in one turn? I tried to look but I couldn't find anything?
Is there any way to format the plan that you would prefer?
The Racial units say that L axewolves have an upkeep of 3.95 a turn. while the L.axewolves that I have cost 5.4 a turn. Whats causing this difference? I am curious if I have to change some maths around in my planning.
Do elephant/Mammoth mounts do anything special compared to Horse mounts?

Spoiler: Answers (click to show/hide)

1.  You don't know.
2.  You can construct as many buildings as your industry will support - some industries are free, but the rest take up industry slots.  I'll make a change to this next turn for clarity.
3.  I'll post a 'template' format.
4.  Hrm.  I'll need to look into that.  ...I looked into that and found a major bug that was causing equipment to get counted twice.  I'll need to repost part of the turn.
5.  You'll need to research beast riding to ride mammoths.  They are essentially huge, expensive horses that inflict fear damage.  More upgraded versions (i.e. more tech) might do fort damage as well.

Public Answer Elements:
I'll be adding a UI change next turn to make it clear how many industry slots used/available there are in a town.
- I cocked up and some of the equipment costs are being counted twice.  The stats for your units in the statblocks are right - the upkeep costs in your main reports are wrong.  I'm busy working, but you'll get fixed reports hopefully within the next day.

Also I guess I should ask what Dread does.

Inflicts morale damage before the start of battle, spread across all enemy units.  Increases the likelihood that foes will rout sooner.

By the way, the manual states that certain hero skills base are equal to their level (Specifically Leadership and Admin, and Mage Skill for Mages) does that mean that any included stats on their stat line are on top of that? So I had a level 3 admin 4 hero, they'd have admin 7 total?

Yes. The main statline is after all modifiers are applied.

[Iituem]

Tired and busy, but Turn 1 should be mostly fixed (couple of display problems but I'm too gods-damned tired and bothered to sort that, it'll be fine next turn).  Units are now taking the proper upkeep, industry slots displayed.
Edit:  Palaces will be fixed next turn not to take up an industry slot, ignore it for now.

[Terenos]

Fantastic, I am sure you'll handle all the minor errors. These things do happen.

Good luck everyone, may your colonization efforts be fruitful, may resources be abundant, and may you find yourselves near NO ONE.

Sweet, I literally will have 5 less upkeep if the values get changed. That means my budget is going to be much less tight.
The industry slots will be great to know, Its little hard to plan so that will be great. Thank you.
Ok, so the Mammoths don't have an industry effect. Got it.

Do my units with fleet get additional Charge damage from being calvary? like if I made Horsemen who already have charge damage, will they get a bonus from fleet? like my units have Charge 575 will that be 575 + Base unmodified unit charge damage?
Umm all the numbers are still the same for upkeep and I can't see industry slots in my fredek turn sheet. Sorry to bother you Iituem.
Thank you Iituem and i'm sorry to bother you.

[Criptfeind]

It looks like the first of my questions and (probably) some of 10ebbor10 got missed in the mass question and answering. No biggy if you're tired/busy, I think can do my turn without having mine answered, but especially the first two would be nice to get answered eventually.

[Iituem]

I have a few questions too.

1: You mentioned there's an ability to sort races into urban and rural, is there something I should to do cause this? As I want the Zoa to be Urban, and the Xiao to be rural, and it looks like they started that way, but now Xiao are migrating to cities preferentially over Zoa.
2: I have more rural population then my rural pop max. Is that something I should be worried about?
3: Do we know how much rural pop max increases will increase rural pop max?
4: Spookums are that Questionmark right? And not the spooky tree (just wanta make sure before I march my army to nowhere important.)

1.  Coding error.  I'll look into it.
2.  It should fix itself on the next growth cycle.
3. 50% of the current max every time.
4.  Yup, question marks are the places bad things are happening.

Mammoths also produce ivory, demanded by markets.

Fleet doesn't stack with mounted units, since the mount is doing the charging.  It just makes all of your infantry light cavalry.

Display errors.  Will fix another day.

[frostgiant]

Thank you Iiteum.

[Criptfeind]

Oh. And, a discord for this exist? Is it for watchers, or players as well? If for players too, can I geta link?

[Tiruin]

Have a permanent link. This also includes observerchat and otherwise! I think it's the unofficial official one being used as Iiteum is on it.

[Tiruin]

Tiny question from the many questions on the forum: How do territories get involved with factions? For example, giving my starting scenario, factions already control my outer lands other than my capital {Who has..."Faction: Capital"}. When one colonizes a new territory, is it instantaneously given to a faction, or do we get to choose (if ever) on what faction gets it, thus earning a nice +1 approval?
