(*) - The language displayed is always English except for spanish that has now a translation in Dark Ages. There are submods for Spanish, Chinese and Russian translations. I don't have a clue how update they are
($) - Notice this value is subject of a calculus based on Development, so at start it will be much smaller than a true 33%. It will grow percentualy as the Development of a province increases up to a maximum of a real 21.78%, excluding other modifiers
(@) - This is in part to balance the above point in economic terms, in other part to free a bit more money to new MaAs or the hiring of Mercs
(!) - Total MaA number of regiments are cardinal to define the number of provisions lost every three months. There are 5 levels considered: up to 5 regiments, from 5 to 10, form 10 to 15, from 15 to 20 and >= 20. I need feedback from the players about the numbers considered and the rule automatically selected is Very Low number of provisions paid. For some context, selecting very low level of provisions lost makes a character lose 40 provision yearly if he has up to 5 MaA regiments and an increment of 40 for the other groups of number of MaA regiments, up to the maximum of 200 provisions (at >= 20 regiments owned). Other levels of the rule (there are 5 levels: Very Low, Low, Average, High and Very High) these values go up. As stated earlier, the rule defining the levels of upkeep paid also considers the option of paying no upkeep.
