Is Crime fighting still 0% 51% 100%???

Where is Dark when you need him!

Renown or Knight? If you mean the former, he has been running about all day trying to find an emergency doctor since his mum needs antibiotics and painkillers for a tooth abscess and all the local doctors and dentists seem to be involved in a conspiracy to be close on the same day Finally got them though

Anyway, the 0/50/100 idea assumes you only want to pick between 3 options:
Let crime run wild and save money: Set it to 0%
Stop crime from spreading: Set it to 50%
Purge crime nation wide and damn the cost: Set it to 100%

Now these numbers aren't set in stone, if you set it to 30% it gives a better chance of not getting a new crime building each month than when it's at 0%, but it's still pretty likely you'll get one, so you might as well set it to 0% and save your money.

With 50% CS your chances of getting a new crime are about the same as purging a building each month so crime will tend to stay about even. You could set it to 80% and see an improvement in crime purging, but you'll still get new building every now and then.

With 100% CS you'll lose a crime building almost every month, it's still not 100% guaranteed, but if you see a new crime building show up you can be officially considered surprised.

As well as the, the national value "order" gives a random chance to purge a crime building each month, I don't think this is in addition to your normal crime removeal, it just helps. So if you fail the normal crime roll your order trait may kick in and remove a crime building anyway, even if you have 0% CS. As far as I know, you can only gain or lose one crime building per month, so it can take a looooong time for a large country to purge all their crime.

Note that the CS slider's affect on revolt risk is linier, so any setting will affect it. RR is 100% at 50% CS, 150% at 0% and 50% at 100%CS.

Play someone like Spain so that "Order" doesn't interfere, I don't think events that remove crime are very common and I don't think anything else affects it. You probably don't need to play as long as 10 years, since crime is checked every months 3-5 years should be plenty of time to see how crime spreads at different settings. I'm guessing with 30% CS you'll see new crime most months with maybe one purged every 4th month. Setting the crime messages to pop up or even pop up and pause should help you track it, or maybe you should just let it run for a few years and see how crime grows with different settings.

Oh, in my above post I made a rather critical typeo with "Not that the CS slider's affect on revolt risk is linier" when I meant "Note that the CS slider's affect on revolt risk is linier"
