Was this ever put into official FAQ or errata? If not, could you please FAQ this thread so that can be the case?

Thank you to Paizo and all involved; Ultimate Campaign is a superb product.

I posted a quick UCamp Kingdom Building question regarding settlement consumption over in the rules sub-forum.

Question

Unless I missed it somewhere, the new UCamp text regarding Consumption seems somewhat different and potentially less explicit than the Kingmaker text.

Is settlement contribution to overall kingdom consumption still equal to 1BP per district?

Thank you!

My reply from the other thread: At one point we had specific district, consumption, base value, and other stats for villages, towns, and cities, but we changed that in development. Add the number of city districts to your kingdom's Consumption (just like the Kingmaker rules).

As written, this is NOT the case, and caused me a lot of confusion when an automated kingdom tracking sheet I was using (Thanks Chemlak and friends!) took into account Sean's ruling, but I couldn't figure out why as it wasn't written anywhere in the book.

This has a HUGE impact on the Kingdom rules, and should go through official channels properly if it is to be implemented at all.

There's definitely no official answer (short of getting PDT to give us a doozy of a quick FAQ/errata response).

The original Kingmaker rules definitely had it cost per district (which is why the question even came up in the first place), and since Sean's comment is from himself as a designer, we can assume that the design team agrees (there is a long-standing rule that designer rule comments are the team's rule responses, unless they express it as a personal opinion).

Happy to FAQ, even though I'm sure of the answer.


Happy to FAQ this too.

FAQ. Seems like it was accidentally left out during the development from kingmaker to ultimate campaign.


It's how I interpreted things and ran them, and I hadn't even realized that there was no clear statement. +1 on getting a FAQ so that there's no confusion on the issue.

Coming late to the party, but adding as FAQ.
