City Stats - Can you inspect mine?

[Doppã]

It’s my first time using the book, I followed to the best of my capabilities.
I’m particularly worried about “Stats” since I’m not sure I understood that correctly.

I am not an expert on this, but I'd be happy to look it over after the end of this month. I'm currently reviewing (CLASSIFIED) and (CLASSIFIED).

Hopefully someone else will check this out before then!

It looks fine to me. A strictly controlled city largely independent of its surrounding country, where all the citizens are equals and live comfortable lives but recent events have caused an increase of corruption. It hasn't got much of a military to speak of.

When you say Tech Level 3+1 (magic), do you mean that magic forms an integrated part of the technology that makes it roughly equivalent to Rennaissance technology, or do you mean it's medieval technology but they also have magic? The former is TL3+1; the latter is just TL3.

[KarlKost]

That's fine. Do you also plan on using Realm Management for the rest of the country?

People did! Or at least are doing :D but thank you for dropping your message, always comforting to see a reply (although sometimes the contents of a reply may or may not be comforting lol).

It’s tricky, it is a TL3 game, but with some TL4 content and a single TL5 item, a locomotive. So TL3, but magic making it around TL4, (thus TL3+1) fits for me.
Also, a solid part of the country’s military budget will go to this city since its both the capital and where the monarchy resides.

I do! Eventually the players will manage the country! And perhaps get one or two puppet-states… might be playing Victoria II to much.

Understood there!

I'm not sure I understand exactly what the TL 1~5 (-1) represents. I'm guessing this has to do with the locomotive?

That line lists the components of the hygiene bonus. For Tech Levels 1 through 5, hygiene gets a -1 penalty.

OK. I didn't see the ~ symbol used in GURPS City Stats which is what I was checking.
