Couple of Questions

[The-Doc]

Hello all, been enjoying this game for a few months now and have run up against a few things I don't understand and hope you'll be able to fill me in on.

First off what exactly does discipline do, I get that it helps your individual cohorts preform better but what exactly is happening here? Is it better damage factor, extended breaking point or something else entire?

In the same vein what does land organization do? I have a feeling it has something to do with reinforcement speed but that's just a guess.

Another military question, I like to divide my standing armies up into groups of 6,000, 8,000, and 10,000 depending on the circumstances. This usually works well but in a few battles the highest martial skill general does not end up leading. Does anyone know what determines command in multiple army situations?

Oh and another question, what determines your nations overall troop support limit? In general it seems to have to do with the number of provinces you have, yet even with static nation size mine has fluctuated.

Finally is there any way to modify the diplomacy modifiers? Minus 60 seems a bit harsh just for being different religions. I don't think stuff like that mattered to much back then (Carthage and Macedonia alliance etc.).

You know... I have no clue, but I would like to know these answers as well

If I remember correctly, organization effects how fast morale recovers, and discipline effects the amount of damage your troops do. I believe population is also a factor for support limit. As for the multiple army thing, I have no clue.

Thanks that sounds likely, can anyone confirm this?

As for discipline does it add onto the base percentages that units do vs other types or is it separate? And offense, defense and experience all go into the same calculation right?

I think it is. Can remember something about how funny this was, because in HoI it was the other way around. Eg, low org and a unit breaks and morale was how quickly a unit re-orged.

Well I don't think support limit goes by population anymore. In my latest game it has dropped 3 points, even though my population, number of provinces and civilization rating have gone up across the board.

 

[Descartes]

Well it does. Each point of population increases the supply limit with 0.1, while each point of civilisation gives an increase of 0.05.

 

[The-Doc]

Is it total population and civilization or the average of all your provinces? Because if it's the latter that makes sense because I did some colonizing and conquering, so while I have more population etc. than at the start, some of my provinces have less.

 

[Descartes]

Nope, it's based on the specific population and civilization values of a province. If Roma has 100 pop and 90 civ, this will result in +14,5 supply limit (10+4,5).

 

[The-Doc]

Blimey. I'll have to check my static modifiers file and make sure everything is kosher then.
