Population, Income, Unrest and Supplies

[Wauthan]

Disease that reduces population is not the same as the affliction. As far as I know it is only one particularly nasty summoned creature that causes this kind of "plauge".

Population does not decrease because of bloodhunting, it just causes unrest.

There are a quite a few lucky events that reduces unrest.

Only a Wish spell can increase population.

The Order/Turmoil scale is just that. A decrease/increase in unrest (as well as economic and event bonuses/penalties).

Zen you mentioned "disease" when referring to things that reduce population. Were you referring to magic or a random event?

Can be both: magic (eg, the Black Death ritual) or events - there's one with exactly the same effect as Black Death, and you get no clue about the real cause when you're at the receiving end of it.

Does Population decrease after successful blood-hunting?

Yes.

Are there any spells for increasing pop?

There's a global enchantment that increases fertility, but I never tried it (Gift of Nature's Bounty).

Are there any spells or random events that decrease Unrest?

Yes (Fata Morgana) and yes (several).

Are there any spells or random events for increasing or decreasing supplies?

No. Maybe GoNB does that indirectly.

Are there any scales that directly increase/decrease unrest?

No.

I was referring to disease in general. There are events, spells, magic items (Bane Venom Charm), units (Harvester of Sorrow, Pazazu, Mabakiel).

Are there any spells for increasing pop?

As Nagot and others said. GoNB and Wish. If there are any other I am unfamiliar with them.

Are there any spells or random events that decrease Unrest?

Fata Morgana. Also Well of Misery increases Tax money when it's in effect.

Are there any scales that directly increase/decrease unrest?

No, it's important to note this, because it did in Dom1, but does not in Dom2 to reduce Micromanagment.

Edit:

You might also want to put on your "Starving to Diseased" portion that Disease not only makes them lose 1 hp a turn, but it dramatically increases the chance of afflictions and every point of damage taken from Disease (and in combat) has a greater chance of inflicting an Affliction.
