Penalized leader

[Hobbes]

Hi folks, after playing this wonderful game for so many years there are still things that I don't understand well. For example, how are leaders penalized when moving out of a territory if they have a departmental trait? For instance a northerner (I've just noticed the trait flashes when moving out of the department). I am just told that the leader will be heavily penalized. The leader I am looking at has a mountaineer trait which he can give to the rest of the stack. Will he still have this ability if he moves too far south? In what way is he penalized?

Cheers,
Chris

From the WIA Gamelogic file ;

// *********************************************************
// ************ HOME AREA PENALTY/BONUS **************** Added August 4, 2012
// *********************************************************
// see HomeArea at the model level

areaOutsideHomeAbi = -1 // -1 level to abies (can render them inactive)
areaOutsideHomeStr = -2 // Strategic
areaOutsideHomeOff = -2 // Offensive
areaOutsideHomeDef = -1 // Defensive
areaOutsideHomeTQ = -3 // TQ (and 5 time that to max cohesion)
areaOutsideHomeMR = 66 // Move Ratio Coeff (x0.66) // [changed 120921 from 0.33]
cohLocalAreaBonus = 10 // bonus to max cohesion if at home


So penalty is quite impacting . Your leader should lose his mountaineer trait bonuses.
