I've been reading up on the rules replacing the ones in the Kingmaker Campaign, and there's one thing (so far) that I'm really unclear on. There are several instances, like when the Royal Enforcer can choose reduce Unrest by 1 during the Upkeep phase, where you risk reducing a Kingdom stat. Is this reduction permanent, or does it just last for the current turn?
The more examples I see of it, the more I'm convinced that it's permanent, but doesn't that make it a lot more complicated, cause now you have to keep track of extra penalties, that you can't see from just what buildings and leaders you have?

All alteration to kingdom stats are instant and permanent (unless otherwise stated, such as event modifiers lasting until the start of the next event phase).
Yes, this leads to some apparently odd results (like your kingdom never being able to get over the inquisition that happened 30 years ago), but it’s easier to manage.
Edit: there are a number of available kingdom tracking tools. I’m quite fond of the Ultimate Campaign Kingdom Tracking Spreadsheet, but other excellent trackers are available. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions.
Ok, thanks.
I have actually made my own, pretty extensive openoffice spreadsheet, and I have a column for "Other" modifiers, I just don't have anywhere to note what all those "Other" modifiers are without making it ugly :P
Actually there is one small thing I just came across. There's an event in Ultimate Campaign called Food Shortage, where consumption is increased by 50% if you fail the check. Do you use (size+districts)*1.5-(2*farms), or (size+districts-(2*farms))*1.5?That's a pretty big difference.
For my players' current kingdom, it's a difference of 12 consumption next month or 2 :)

Consumption is after all modifiers, so it’s the second option.
