Danger

[coanda]

Anyone figure out what determines how much danger a village can sustain?

It seems to be nonlinear. I suspect stuff like project completion or terrain types may also be impacting it a little, because it looks sharply nonlinear over a few points. Knowing the exact formula would certainly help when planning out a world.

It looks to me like army strength is approximately equal to the village's highest resource, and the first break point for danger (between low and medium) is 1/10th army strength. I'm still trying to figure out the village defense rating and the second danger break point.

I've figured it out by looking at the code. Let F, W, and T be the food, wealth, and technology in use. I'm going to introduce an intermediary variable called S (after the codename StatStrength, which is used in game). S = 0.75 * (maximum of F, W and T) + 0.25 * (average of F, W and T). So if F, W and T are all equal, S = that value; if two of them are zero, and one is huge (let say F) then S = 0.75 * F + 0.25 * F /3 = 5/6 * F - in a nutshell, S varies between 5/6th and 6/6th of the maximum stat.

The first danger level is at 2 + S/10, the second danger level is at 8 + S/8. So that meshes well with Kajikami's observation, as the value of S ties into the army strength as well (haven't looked into that yet)
