[Iituem]

Caravan movement would be valid, yes.  Be wary; the more trading happens, the more likely raiders will start appearing.  Yes, you can establish a trade pact with Arcadia working through the Farland trade route, as you would be able to do so with the Duchy of Grouting.

Edited it in.

Question:
Can we disband units, or trade them for another ?

[Johnfalcon99977]

I could not afford the Axuila (Skrimishers)? I've done the math, and theorticly I should have been able to upgrade them...

Edit: I also point out that the "Units and Buildings" List, along with the others, has not been updated. There are still units and techs not yet listed.

[Iituem]

I did the math too, and you couldn't.  Upgrading a unit costs 125% of the difference between the two unit costs.

Spearmen: £125.  Skirmishers: £400.  400 - 125 = 275.

275 * 3 = 825, which is already over what you budgeted.

875 * 1.25 (i.e. 125% of 875) = 1031.25

So no, not enough.  In future by all means question my math (because I do get it wrong), but show your working.

This also answers adwarf's question; you can disband units, or you can upgrade them for the 125% of the difference between the two unit costs.  Downgrading to a cheaper unit is free, but doesn't give you a refund.  Disbanding units is free, but doesn't give you a refund.

JF:  I know very well that the units and buildings list has not been updated.  There are other things taking up my time right now, such as coding in the new aspects of the game to make it easier to run.  I shall endeavour to update that list prior to the next turn.


Considering a mechanics change to combat.  How do we feel about ranged units getting a free chance of a hit before combat, but suffering a reduction in their stats to balance it?  Probably it works fine as is, but I'll throw it up for discussion.

[Taricus]

Let them hit for free, just drain their attack though.

Personally, I think that even if a ranged unit only damages an opposing unit they should survive unscathed and can fight again. Being damaged by the enemy implies they managed to close into melee.

I think leave it as it is is a good idea, just do what you have already done with archers or the javelin throwers in the future.

[adwarf]

Ok I edited my post to include the downgrading of macemen to spearmen.

[adwarf]

DOn't I get a bonus from  the caravan Sheb sent ?

[Iituem]

You get the trade route bonus of 10% of his income (£85, in Turn 5), but you don't get a share of his caravan journey completion bonus, no.

[adwarf]

Oh I thought that the caravan produced some money for both sides. My people selling stuff to him, and his selling stuff to me thats how I saw it.

[Iituem]

You could try and extract a tax from him, but no.  The bonus is a bonus for completing the journey, since he took the risks and spent the money on the original caravan.

[adwarf]

I just realized next turn I will be making over a thousand in income. Awesome super awesome fortified Farlands Country here I come.
