Crime Rate Questions

Leo

13 ticks into the game and already increased to 3. Someone else has 5.

Questions:

Does it have a roll to go only up each tick or up/down?
Does owned troop count have an effect on the crime rate roll or not?
GH/Land ratio have an effect on the rate roll or not?

The chance of a random crime rate increase could be a bit higher than desired?

Leo It's random, but have more odds to go down, if you build more GH it decreases at the same ratio next tick

@Leo Ya it tends down… but it’s possible to get unlucky and have it spike on occasion.

@TheKeeper im unsure if that is the way you want it or if it would be better to have it tend up with a small amount of Randomness that it could drop in any given tick by 1. It definitely only went up in the old game until you built GH however the growth was quite slow like 1 per 20 ticks at least in early game/protection. We can talk about how this affects intent of the mechanic. I don’t mind it tending down but maybe it would tend down to some amount that was greater than your castle value so that you had to build a GH on occasion. There’s an argument that this would only kick in after initial protection too… and that it would be allowed to spike and return to 1 during protection… but when out of protection if it did spike past let’s say it’s 3 on one castle then you would need to build 2 GH to bring it down to 1 again.
