"Unrest" Discussion

[licker]

Briefly...

Unrest goes up when you blood hunt, set taxes above 100, have a battle, have certain bad random events, have an enemy spell, have a spy causing unrest.

Unrest goes down when you patrol, set taxes less than 100, have certain good random events. Maybe a few more for taking it down, but preaching doesn't do anything either way.

As you saw, blood hunting will jack up the unrest, so you either need to patrol along with your blood hunters, or just drop the tax to something (zero even if you are really looking for those chicks) and not worry about your income from that province.

I prefer to use taxes to offset rather than patroling, but that's usually because I can't seem to keep a patroling force away from some hot spot on the front lines

One of the things that confused me a lot in the beginning, is that having an "order" scale does nothing to reduce unrest. I understand how that would make it even more important because of the ability to have taxes higher than 100%, but maybe Order scales should increase effects that decrease unrest, while Turmoil scales should increase effects that increase unrest. Or something like that.

Dom1 had unrest affected by your order/turmoil scale. Part of decoupling the overtax/patrol nonsense from Dom1 involved removing the effect of order/turmoil on unrest. Essentially having order/turmoil affect your income is the same as being able to tax higher without unrest. Personally I prefer the system in Dom2 to Dom1.

It actually makes sense, to me, that Turmoil and Unrest are two very different things.

Unrest seems more like anger at those in power, whereas turmoil seems more like general upheaval and/or rapid change and instability.

I see that there could be a connection in some cases, but not always.

If there is a spy causing unrest in your province, how would you know? Can you attempt to search them out, or do you have to just deal with it?

[Taqwus]

If memory serves, it'll actually tell you that there's a spy. It's up to your province defense and patrollers to actually find him, however.

I didnt know Order does nothing for unrest. I thought it did. Thanks.
