Attrition Questions

[unmerged(124674)]

Can anyone explain to me how attrition is calculated?

I get that moving into other people's territiory causes attrittion, and that havig a high number of troops in a territory increases attrition, but is there any formula to try and figure out how much attrition an army will experiance?

Attrition is devestating my current game. I'm fighting in Wales and Scotland and seeing huge attrition numbers. A 2000 man army is suffering 21% attrition. That's ridiculous. Even armies of 800 are suffering 9-10%. I've never experienced anything like that in previous game, but then again I've never played in that specific region.

Also, what does the supply limit in a provence do and is that related to attrition?

Thanks in advance.

The provinces you are marching through most likely have some nasty 'illness' like malaria, dysentery, small pox or thypoid. These increase the attrition rates.

I think areas of low wealth and that have been looted (and swampy and moutainous) tend to cause attrition no matter how much gold you pump into the armies.

oh boy, now I feel stupid. My liege mobilized my regeminets some years ago and I stopped paying them. Then after the war I forgot to move the slidder back. That's why my attrition is so high. Man, I feel dumb. Thanks for the response that jogge dthe memory.

So back to my other question, does anyone know what effects supply limit has on the game?

The supply-limit determines how many troops can be in a province before you will suffer attrition.
