Prosperity=growth in S&D per day.

That determines the USAGE of S&D not it's growth. You use 1 S/D per good at high cost, but you only use 1 S/D for every 5 goods at low prices. This means: you need HIGH prosperity in High Cost fiefs. To replenish your S/D you need prosperity.

Fixed this for you :)  but otherwise spot on.

I figured I'd plot the formulas from first post since it's a shitton easier to get a general idea of how things change when you have a graph.

Distance bonus is nice and smooth. Before 60km it's not linear, but after 60km it becomes linear and your bonus is increased by 0.5% per kilometer. There is obviously no maximum, but it's probably not a good idea to carry your goods much farther than 50km or 55km.

The troop cost plot is not smooth since you can't have half troops, but it's even less smooth thanks to rounding up and me using excel to calculate it in 10 troop intervals because excel draws prettier plots than R. We can see it rises up sharper when you have more troops, but it isn't really THAT bad to begin with. It's also interesting to note that it would seem that you can have something like 150 troops at the same price as 101 troops. I can't be arsed to calculate the exact point, but there it is.

I also thought it'd be interesting to see how much you are paying per troop. It looks fairly funky thanks to the flat plateaus of the total army cost graph and just tells what was already noted previously. Sometimes you get more bang for your buck with more troops.

lol, so stupid Europe uses their . and , backwards in currency numbers.

for a sec I was thinking troop wages were in the THOUSANDS.

Appreciate the graphs, however would have been better as google doc spreadsheet that people could put cursor on the line and find the exact numbers~

12) How does auto peasant gear work?
- if you are naked you get free peasant gear for all your troops
- this gear will disappear after the battle
- only defenders get free peasant gear

If you have horses but are otherwise completely unarmed/armoured can you still get the peasant gear?

I'd also like to point some exact troop maintenance plateaus:

EDIT: Originally there was bath use of a function. The plateaus still exist, but they are a lot shorter. 

101-125 troops: 1 gold per tick
126-148 troops: 2 gold per tick
149-168 troops: 3 gold per tick

And so on. The google docs thing is updated.

I'd also like to point some exact troop maintenance plateaus:
1-100 troops: 0 gold
101-168 troops: 3 gold
169-222 troops: 6 gold
223-270 troops: 9 gold
271-312 troops: 12 gold
313-352 troops: 15 gold

It seriously goes up in 3g/hour things. This also means that for optimal economic behaviour you should always have either 100, 168, 222, 270, 312, 352 (or more, calculate yourself) troops.

Actually 284 is just under 10 gold per hour. If you have full army, then you can maintain your army on ticks alone at that amount.

Does anyone have any info on movement speed, more particulary about how troop number, horse number and goods number affects it?

Yeah, thanks for pointing that out. I used ceiling-function with a wrong parameter which was quite stupid. Fixed it now.
