So you've only stabilized the revolution once you've critically succeeded - until then, you're at risk of the realm dissolving on a critical failure. So what's a failure?

I think a success will keep you going even if you are out of your grace period, and a failure will not. So on turn 1, it doesn't matter, but on turn 8, its a huge deal.

It's exciting that one can now master their domain using GURPS.

I snatched it up as soon as I saw it was available. I've been waiting on this for a while. Now I can learn how to have a knight's fee be a thing, in detail....

Just out of curiosity what equation did you use? I ask because I assume we are rounding to the nearest integer as with Size.

Right now I an figuring out the middle points as being the 12th root of 100 per half step. Is this correct?

I rounded to 3 significant figures. It was the 6th root of 100 per step, and I just took a point on the scale from the table and multiplied up and down from there. Nothing complicated.

Now I am confused. Rounding to 3 significant figures wouldn't produce the numbers given.

For example, 1077 has 4 significant figures while 1070 could have 3 or 4 significant figures.

Then I've miss-remembered what I did.

Don't feel bad. I don't recall it either. I'll go digging in emails when I have some time.
