Maybe some one can answer this question and explain these results:

Is a States Production out put set at the being of a game and the only thing that effects it is:

A. Industrialization of the state which increase WS, Amo, and general suppies in the form of Supply wagons, permitly.

B. Loss to production out put when city or area is captured by the enemy.

I have run two games of the April 1861 scenario asthe union doing nothingexcept click next turn.

early Apr Money 200(+187) late apr 397 (187)
early apr men 50(+39) .......late apr 86(+39)
............ WS 50(+124).......... [color="Red"](+122[/color] lose of Norfok +3
............ GS 7366(3720)........9573[color="red"](+3099)[/color]-721!!
...........Amo 2747(+1403).......4046[color="red"](+1413)[/color]+10???

Should not the WS(+122) be (+121)..?

Thats just national
Here is New York production out put
.............Early Apr.............Late Apr
SW.........735....................751........+16 !!!
Amo........228....................250........+32 !!!
money.....40......................40
men.........8........................8
WS.........27.......................29.........+2 !!!!!

I did nothing and SW, AMO, and WS INCREASED !!!!!!!!! Just clicked next turn.
Shouldn't the start early Apr production out put remain the same for late Apr?

As my ole wasklely wabbit friend says,"Whats up Doc?"

Can some one explain?

Hi.

Output in every city is affected by its LOYALTY. +/-50%

General output is also modified by National morale... it can easily change +5% if your NM changes.

Figures are counted specific in each city, and rounded.

Production is affected by NM, loyalty in regions, and some rounding off. So these can effect your displayed numbers by slight changes. The loss of Norfolk can impact cities far away. Union NM can go up by events in the game, USA choosing Total Blockade, also any NM that is less than 100 has a random chance of going up by one. So you might have started at 85 NM and then have 86 for late April and these would increase your figures. Further if your loyalty in the region has gone up slightly that can also make your figures rise. I have never play USA so I don't know any other drops or falls. But CSA GS always drops from 2714 (early Apr) to 1885 (late Apr). And then usually falls again after that. This loss would be from the blockade taking affect. For the USA you might be loosing some production from NM and loyalty changes but also some of the far northern ports could be frozen. When the game starts the tally might be the raw scores- and then on late April the effects of iced ports is taken into account. Also if a region has been pillaged then surrounding regions can suffer a slight production loss.

So with the rounding and NM and loyalty shifts these would affect the bigger GS and ammo numbers more visibly when there is changes but the low numbers for CP have changed to but not enough for the rounding up to tick over to next whole number. WS is slightly larger numbers so it has changed enough for rounding up one. Hope that makes sense.
