Some Basic Experiments with Economy

[Quietus]

Yeah, I didn't know where else to get a distance value to study corruption (hehe). I'm pretty sure I'll use your finely generated equations! However, what I really wanted is to be able to read all those Icons and make formulas out of those. Why? Because, knowing how CA uses the Icons can potentially spill into reading the other icons, such as economic ones.

One other example is unrest. I always get 15% unrest, but where does CA get this value? Then, I've read what JeROME said of the culture penalties, however, he was fuzzy about unrest. So, I will continue to do tests on unrest.

Anyway, I'm not able to do economic tests yet (aside from how rebels affected trades affected sea exports and land trade but not sea imports, in the old trade disruption thread). Will start testing on it soon.

Keep on testing everyone!

The only other thing I can think of is checking your Governor's traits/retinue. Some of them cause unrest.

tr, there's been a bunch of numbers flying back and forth - if you could clarify -

for your "corruption percent" equation,

the percent corruption is a percent of total income for the city, right? (everything on the plus line of income including e.g. administratiive, and nothing on the negative side?)

what was your correlation coefficient for the regression line?

in summary, it's very clear that it's only related to distance, yes? (barring governor's corruption retinue or traits)

thanks!!

Hmm, I've never had a Governor in the city to see if added anything. Should be quite straightforward to take a raw Governor a with either just management ability, or one that you could give a management endowing retinue character to, and have no other effects on income/corruption.

But yes, all the other incomes added together, with no deductions - gross income.

what was your correlation coefficient for the regression line?

All the coefficients are on their respective graphs.

AFAICT, that's is indeed the deal.
