Badboy will also decrease or increase after a certain amount of time dependant on the current monarch's diplomatic skill, modified by Aristocracy DP slider setting and events.
X = decline each month
DIP = diplomatic skill of monarch, always an integer, can be negative *
Y = number dependant on difficulty
240 for very easy
240 for easy
240 for normal
360 for hard
480 for very hard
X = DIP/Y
Next month's badboy = this month's badboy - X
* Note that DIP is in the range -2 to +11. If DIP is negative, then X is negative and there is a badboy accumulation rather than a badboy reduction. The badboy accumulation is worse for the easier difficulty levels.
Badboy Cutoff factor( where the badboy wars kick in, only on very hard)
Tests show that the badboy cutoff factor does not increase linearly with time. In this graph the badboy cutoff is shown with time. There is not a real correlation between time and badboy cutoff, except that after 1789 it increase dramatically.
Diplomatic skill badboycutofff
bb_threshold = 30 + dip + (current year-1419)*0.06
Which calculates the bb_threshold within 3 BB points correctly.
On average, bb_theshold increases by 1 every 200 months.
*: christians, moslems etc.
**: only possible inside the moslem religous group and the christian religious group except orthodox.
***: there are different rules for dowing and annexing pagans
