I just noticed that that list doesn't mention that mines demand tools. I know they do, since East Leth Nova is consuming tools. According to the manual, satisfying the tool demand increases ore output. What's up with that?

Oh nuts, I wrote a bit of code to generate these for buildings, must have missed something.  I'll update it.

Meanwhile, here are updated Hero Item costs.  Most base items now do not cost more than the Heroes themselves.  Everything that costs mithril is the same, but the base item costs have been tweaked and Fine Item lowered to £200.

1. My mint appears not to do something.

1. Urban Thralls produce ideas
2. Fish consumption is weird
3. Still a combination of farms and harbors.

I have a bit of a bug, in that even when I ask for it my armies still aren't replenishing. That's pretty worrying that I'm constantly left on smaller army size.

Nuts, still not working?  I'll run two emergency resupply cycles for you when I get a bit of time, do 'catch up' from the previous turns.

[Criptfeind]

Nice! A new turn! I got a few questions about things! (As per always, and also as per always, I'm not 100% sure if we're allowed to know the stats of things we've not researched, but I'll ask anyway in the hopes that we are!)

1: What do field apothecaries do?
2: Can we know the costs and requirements of hero and agent ships?
3: East New hope appears to have harvested about 100 more food then it used, and instead of selling it to someone or storing it in the grainery it seems to have disappeared? Idk lol.
4: Also what does an Ampitheatre do?

1. I'm pretty certain my Thralls are still producing ideas, and a lot of them.
2. I'm also pretty certain they're still producing double mana
3. The Eastern Depths still has both a Sea Harbor and a farm

So, I was thinking about autonomy, right?
As it is, the further from the capital and the higher the population, the faster autonomy grows. The higher autonomy gets, the lower unrest gets. And low unrest reduces autonomy growth, eventually leading to equilibrium.
Except, said equilibrium involves an inordinately happy province. A province halfway round the world may have 100% autonomy, with people openly flaunting their defiance of central authority, but it ain't never gonna rise up in revolt, cos at 100% autonomy its unrest will be incredibly low. (It will also produce bucketloads of ideas, and make the owning faction even richer due to high A/U/GE)
I'm guessing this is not the intention; it seems to me like provinces with high autonomy should, if anything, be more likely to revolt. At the very least, their unrest shouldn't be significantly lower than any other province.

I have a suggestion for how this could be avoided, though I don't know how feasible it is.

Instead of distance & population increasing the rate that autonomy grows at, they increase the 'target autonomy' for a province. Target autonomy is the autonomy level at which autonomy has no effect on unrest one way or another. Below that level, it increases unrest, and above it, it decreases it. High unrest will still increase autonomy growth (and low decrease), leading to the same equilibrium, except that unrest will be ~0 (before other modifiers).
I'm not sure whether decentralisation should decrease target autonomy or autonomy growth; either way stable autonomy is lower, but if the latter, provinces would also be less happy. I would lean towards effecting target autonomy, since most people don't get upset if you give them more control over their lives. I feel like Autocracy should decrease autonomy growth (and thus happiness)(people don't like living under a dictator), but maybe for balance purposes it should affect target autonomy instead.
There would definitely need to be some ways to decrease autonomy growth, leading to unhappy but obedient people. Law&order buildings, perhaps? Dungeon, courthouse, governor's mansion, etc.

Edit: Actually, thinking about it some more, that would always result in unrest trending towards 0, unless autonomy was at its minimum, in which case unrest could drop below 0. Hmm. Maybe just forget about autonomy growing/shrinking, and just have it immediately reach its final value. Unrest would still have an effect on autonomy, but not vice-versa. I mean, having autonomy grow slowly over time is cool, but is it worth the bother?

[10ebbor10]

The simplest way would be to make distance generate unrest, rather than autonomy.

The unrest from distance would push up autonomy, until that autonomy pushes the unrest back down to a stable equilibrium.

However, I fear that would result in way too many revolts. I mean, 5% unrest in 5 provinces is 25% chance of revolt per turn. So, maybe just create some high autonomy unrest creating events?

I...uh, don't understand.

...Why would a racial faction of your own folks revolt against you just because of autonomy? I mean it's perfect as is--keep em happy, they're okay with you. If they're grumpy like me and the thieves' guild, they'll civil war your face. o_O Noting the EXTREME IMPORTANCE of autonomy being tied with the current faction in charge of that province there--it has always been a big modifier to unrest AND autonomy.

[NUKE9.13]

I mean, it'd be like a colony declaring independence. Raise one too many taxes, and they start chucking tea into the water and talking about "god-given rights".

I'm not saying that high autonomy should always mean revolts. But as it stands, high autonomy means no revolts ever. I think that high autonomy should either have no impact on revolt risk, or slightly increase it- it's easier to organise a rebellion when people are already used to being independent.

[Taricus]

Well, if there's unrest, sure. But high autonomy and little unrest means they're placated.

[Tiruin]

Part of the problem is, for me, that y'all are seeing autonomy as COLONIES or whatever dissociated thing from yourself. -.- It can mean many things depending on the context of how you see your own nation--and for flexibility of GM narrative!

But just to ask for clarity: Is there a valid, mechanical option, of choosing what 'race' migrates? Or if we can disable certain territories or provinces from migration at all (say: Population depletion but you have lots of lands)?

:I
I don't see why you have a problem at all. Do you think it makes sense from a flavour perspective that high autonomy provinces always have low (as in deeply negative) unrest, as opposed to low autonomy provinces which will tend to have higher unrest? The closer to the capital you get, the more likely people are to revolt?

With regards to the colonies thing... yes? High autonomy means less central control over a region. Like England and its colonies. It doesn't always mean colonies. It can also mean a sort of federal system. Or individual nobles having control over their demesne. Or whatever else, so long as it involves you personally giving up control. But just because it can mean other things doesn't mean that colonies are a bad example.
