a sultan achieving -750 vp in a one month reign ?

[unmerged(3195)]

Hi !

still playing my Turkish Grand Campaign, I achieved 603 Victory points in year 1579.

When I check the VP graph in the ledger, it increases slowly over time, it is normal as I am at peace since 1566.

But checking how my latest Sultans fared gave me a big surprise !

Suleiman I brought me 349 VP,

his successor Selim II (no wars, just incresed his economy) was rated as - 150 VP (yes ! MINUS 150 VP !)

And the ruler I have now (Murad III) was worth -750 VP when accessing to power in 1574 even if now the rating is better at -697 only He's also a peaceful guy that just went on exploring West Africa.

If I total all the VP given by my successive rulers, I get the figure of -402 VP total just because of these 2 last ones.

However, as I said, Turkey has 603 VP...

My question is : is this a bug or Kings VP have nothing to do with Country VP ?

If it is normal, how could a guy just nominated be so bad as -750 VP without doing anything ?

I'm playing with NA version, patch 1.08

Bug.

can I fix the Royal archive by editing something with wordpad ?

This way, our Turkish history would be an object of pride for our future rulers

Not that I know of. I fear not as otherwise someone would have posted so already, I think. But u can give it a try if u want

From the third Monarch on, previous monarchs get deducted several times from the total earned.

Thus, if you want to know the values for your monarch, take a calculator or pen and paper and work it out.

Thanks for your reply !

"From the third Monarch on, previous monarchs get deducted several times from the total earned.

1) How does the formula go exactly ?

2) Who's the guy in Paradox who said one day : "hey, I've got an idea : on the monarchs ledger, why not decide to deduct several times the amount earned by previous monarchs ? Say we start from the 3rd Monarch on ?" Who are the others in Paradox who decided after careful thinking : "sounds great to us ! let's implement that"

In short : why do such a thing ?

As BiB said, it is a bug in the programming, not intentional (presumably). I don't understand why they haven't fixed it by now, though, since it should take very little effort.

Bugs tend to be unintentional I guess it isn't fixed yet cuz it really is a minor thing compared to more serious gameplaying issues.
