Some other things..

[unmerged(542)]

I think nobody mentioned these things yet or perhaps I just missed it, in this case: mea culpa..anyway..

a) Manufakturen/Manufactures
It says that you are supposed to get either 6 or 12 gold per M., depending on the location. But you semm to get only 5 per, no matter where you build the M.

b) The religion Reformierte should give 3 settlers per year according to the handbook but only gives 2. Is the game or the handbook wrong?

c) The game does not use the total of soldiers to determine if Stürmen/Assault is allowed during a siege. So if you have 4 armies of 5k soldiers, you are not allowed to Assault a 10k fortress. You have to get a 10k army into the territory. This is not a problem during the first siege but when you drop below the necessary number and bring in reinforcement, it doesn't count.

d) Naval Level 37 should remove the attrition due to long time on sea. But it is still there...I thought I would finally be able to get rid of the pirates by positioning the ships in front of the coast. My fault?

e) If a Minister is assigned by the ruler to do the work and then the ruler dies without successor, the Minister is removed together with the ruler. Wouldn't it make sense if the Minister would continue until the successor is old enough?

a) Manufactories have two benefits:
- they generate income (6/12 ducats)
- they give you an additional bonus
of 5 in the matching budget category
(e.g. weapons manufactory -> land tech
level)

c) Did you select all armies, before
attempting to assault ? (either hold
shift and leftclick on each or draw a
rectangle around them with the mouse then click assault)

Regarding a)
My fault then.

Regarding b)
Yes, but I'm not yet sure about the circumstances when it happens.
I had assaulted Tangier and when I checked the next time, my moral was Invincible/Unbesiegbar again, I had 20k troops compared to 6k defenders, but couldn't assault. But my armies were 4x5. I brought in another 8k then and was allowed to assault.

Next time was against one of those island territories (Antigua?). Same situation. Brought in troops, assaulted, panicked, waited, had much more troops but wasn't allowed to assault again. Finally had to start over again by moving the army so I could regroup them, of course the defenders were at full strength again. Had to do this a second time and started to get really pi**ed off, because I couldn't take a 7500 fortress with 22k troops...
