Glacier Event Unit Payment Bonus
« Topic Start: March 26, 2014, 01:55:45 AM »
There's a feeling in Kindara on FEI that people aren't seeing the expected reduction in unit payment costs that was meant to have been introduced to help offset the negative impact of the advancing ice on effected realms. Could we have some indication of roughly how much less we should be expecting to pay units? Or, ideally, could it please be checked that this ' payment advantage' is actually working in Kindara?

My 90 man infantry until costs 2 gold per day. That is cheap.

That's strange. I'm pretty sure my own unit was costing roughly the same as it did pre-event. As you know, Cornelius also felt he wasn't seeing any unit upkeep reduction (as he said in the OOC message he sent a few hours ago).

If you have not paid your unit since before the bonus took effect, you will still have to give them the pay they accrued before then.

If you look at how fast it is accruing now, however, you should notice that it is significantly lower. Like, 90%.

When should the bonus take effect actually?
In Fallangard we already lost one region and two more are affected, yet no reduced unit costs.
Brutus payed his men every day since the first cold took grip of tota.

I also noticed some odd migration, perhaps intentional.
But peasants fleeing from the cold en mass in neighbouring regions only.
Once there they only emigrate further due to over population.
But this is usually about 30 peasants in total(daily), while between 5000 and 8000 peasants keep coming in(also daily).
It also looks like all peasants who don't flee in time are lost(died).

Also, will regions receive more income from all these new immigrants?
