What do the "power numbers" (-3 to +3) in the set up screen do exactly?
I would imagine they either reduce or boost econ/military strength.
Does anyone know the precise effects?

Thanks

Power levels increase/decrease a nation's income:
-3: -50% income
-2: -25% income
-1: -12% income
+1: +12% income
+2: +25% income
+3: +50% income

Positive power levels also cause a nation to begin the game with one additional corps per power level and enough infantry, cavalry, and artillery to stock it.
