Faith 1k max?

[Zechpreller]

or can max the capacity?

[Gnep]

That's the maximum I haven't been able to overcome. I built up half the map with different buildings, and the only resource that didn't exceed a thousand was faith.

[Iskar]

Yes, that's a bit annoying. At least governed Cathedrals or the Theology tradition should increase the capacity.

[Zaidah]

I guess it is to prevent you to compensate for heavy crown authority decrease, or to be able to change your heir that easily/fast (you'll have to think about doing do rather than doing it a bit recklessly)

[Iskar]

Frankly, crown authority and heir changes are the least frequent uses of faith I encountered. The vast majority of it goes into pacification, conversion, cleric missions, and cathedral/university building.

I think it’s deliberate design. You don’t need much Faith income generally. But sometimes you need to take several actions in a sequence, like adopting/converting provinces. Faith income acts like a cooldown. The more you have the faster you can do what you want. If you increase capacity Faith generation will be much less useful.

[ShadowFox]

On the bright side you can generate hundreds of faith fairly easy :)

I would love if there was an additional way to spend faith outside of adopting/converting provinces and cleric actions.

I feel like my faith just sits down and doesn't do anything. Books have a similar issues later in the game.

Both books and faith actions are also often gated by gold, so if you have a lot of book and faith, but not enough gold, you are out of luck. Gold is just too prominent everywhere.

Finally, food gates the number/size of armies early game, when you have one or two provinces, but when you get a few provinces, you usually have plenty of food, and no way to... "spend" it. So essentially no need for any of the agricultural chains, except one province to make the kingdom advantages.

[Zechpreller]

yeah i miss the "spend" option from KoH1 ^^

Additional troops actually require a lot of food and are very strong buff. So you can use almost all food you can possibly produce.

Really? I have four full armies of elite troops and all garrisons plastered with units and still make 300+ food surplus.

Do you use additional troops? It goes into siege slot. 4 additional troops on 1 army gives +60% to strength and cost like 100 food total.

[Iskar]

I use two slots for additional troops and two for catapults, so I'm using a total of 8 slots less for additional troops at roughly 50 food each, which would consume an additional 200 food, still leaving me with 100+ surplus.

EDIT: scratch that, I have gluttony-induced post-christmas-dyscalculia. 8*50 is 400, not 200, so even with all additional troops for my existing armies alone I'd be very much pressed for food.

Well one more army and you’ll have 0.

[Iskar]

Fair point. I'm really doing fine with four marshals, though, ever since I have been able to afford mercenaries.

EDIT: I'm stupid, see edit above.
