When a vassal's Raw Early Levy Spearmen (Defensive) is placed under my direct control and then upgraded to Seasoned Early Levy Spearmen (Defensive), the upgraded unit becomes mine. In other words, the unit upgrade incorrectly strips the unit of its original ownership.

Hi everyone,

I've been digging into the upkeep code (`Unit.BSF` and `Faction_Recruitment.CalcUpkeep`) and found something that looks like a mismatch between design intent and actual implementation. I'd like to check whether this is intended.

What the comment says it should do

The function's own ...

I couldn't agree more.

The money upkeep of Turcopole Skirmishers is 63 which is ridiculous for a 3-3 SkirmisherCavalry.

For comparison, most HvyCavalry units have a money upkeep of 32. The money upkeep of other SkirmisherCavalry units is 6(LEVY) or 21(STANDING).

Please check whether the number goes wrong.

case 1

attack = Attack + FlankingMod/2 + AtkAssaultChg/2
= 3 + 1/2 + 0/2
= 3 + 0 + 0 （Truncating division，1/2 = 0）
= 3

defense = Defense + DefAssaultChg/2
= 3 + 1/2
= 3 + 0
= 3

range = RangedAttack + RangedMaxDamages
= 7 + 1
= 8

xp = 0


case 2

attack = Attack + FlankingMod/2 ...

Comments gets outdated so you need to find the file where the values are actually set.




Thank you. You are right. The real values are in MapGlobals.BSF as follows. And the numbers finally match with the game.

// Units, cbt power estimate
// see Unit_CombatPower for the details
#define UNIT ...

Thanks for replying.

Yes, the result of step 4 should be 15. However, the number still doesn't match which is confusing.

Help me understand Combat Power calculation — my formula doesn't match the game

**TL;DR:** I tried to reverse-engineer `Unit_CombatPower` for Byzantine Light Archers (got ~9) and Skoutatoi (got ~32). But the game shows different numbers. Can anyone point out my mistakes or give me the actual ...

Which should El Cid attack first?

Getting a CS becomes more expensive the more CS you already have?
Where is the logic in that? Why would a state be more reluctant to become a client if there are already others?

I don't know the logic, either. But in the script, it says so. I guess it is to prevent snowballing.


Besides that ...

I recommend Dacia and some celtic tribes. Or you can increase the difficulty to suicide and try Rome again, I guarantee it's completely different.

Great idea.

I had the same situation before. You may try reloading.

It's right. Less than 4 region, 209=total region value *1.5.
In my opinion, you already have 2 CS. So 224=20+total region value *1.5

It decreases the chance of good generals.

75*4=300

update to fortress

Yes, many turns have passed. I have only 1 capital, and the number of available capitals is 3.

By the way, which language is used in the scripts?

I build the national wonder and world wonder, but there isn't the capita icon in the region.

3 level government first, then update your military unit. After this, make a lot of units and declare war to the countries which have less combat power.
