As Noted Down By Remarkably Objective Andalusian Historiographers, Inspired As They Are By Divine Savegames
So, I have been doing some data-crunching, and I consider it my responsibility to keep you all abreast of what has been happening in our little alternate universe. I am going to show you the state of the world in pictures. So, without further ado, the graphics:
Base Tax
This one is pretty straightforward, and unlikely to change throughout our game. This map shows the relative base tax values of all habitable provinces. Red is poor, green is rich. I include this since our game's base tax values differ from vanilla; our converter took Crusader Kings base tax into account. Al-Andalus is in a pretty decent position: no excessive wealth, but very little poverty either.
Average Buildings per Province
Arguably, the level of development of one's country is best described by the amount of buildings one has in each province. (Again, greener is more buildings per province, red is less.) Bigger countries tend to do worse here; they have the same amount of magistrates with which to build, but more provinces to build in. Al-Andalus hopes for a core on Savoy (in Aragon province) so it may 'donate' its buildings to the greater good of Andalusian society.
Religion
In our world, player-controlled natives have been changed to not-pagan. There are Shintoists (bright red) in America and Hindus (teal) in Africa. Also apparent: the predominance of Shi'a Islam in Europe, the absence of Orthodox Christianity in Greece and the spread of same due to Ethiopian conquests.
Average Income Per Province
Not so straightforward, this map shows the monthly income divided by the number of provinces. Due to OPMs making the big boys all red, only player nations are shown here, so we may consider their differences. Consider away; also notice that Al-Andalus, Croatia and Brunei do well in spite of being large. Trading ftw.
This is what income looks like in absolute terms:
Hello Bavaria.
Average Tech Level
Last but not least, the measure of technological advancement. It is interesting to notice that some of the laggards are European; Golle, in England, spent a lot of moolah on raising stab, and it shows.
Ethiopia, with its efficient economy, Ottoman tech group and RotW head start is the world's beacon of scientific advancement. How long will it last?
PS
I am taking requests for next session. Is there anything anyone would like to see mapped out?
