I haven't given up on 7-day turns for CW2, but I have hit several snags that keep me from going further until I resolve them. One thing is loyalty. In my tests of 7-day turns, loyalty changes potentially at a much faster rate because the number of checks is doubled. Regions captured by the Union having 40% loyalty after occupation for a time under 15-day turns, will have close to 100% loyalty under 7-day turns.
Since changing the police values of individual elements is time-consuming and ultimately ineffective (many elements are already at the lowest police values), I saw a possibility of using a faction modifier to apply changes to the faction as a whole. This, I believe, is the relevant setting that would be applied to individual factions (from the Aliases directory, 'FacMods Variables.ini'.
$fmdAbsPoliceMod = 22 // Absolute modifier (in pt) to Police value
If I understand this, the value from $fmdAbsPoliceMod would be applied as a point (*not* percentage) value to each loyalty roll involving the police value for the relevant faction. Example below.
Union has $fmdAbsPoliceMod = 10
Circumstances on this turn require a loyalty check in region X.
Union has a total police value in region X of 43.
10 + 43 = 53.
Loyalty roll is checked against 53.
Am I understanding correctly how this works in game?
