Tool for calculating ideal place for capital

[Didz]

Not necessarily. Corruption is also affect by distance to capital, so it will usually be a good idea to have your capital near your richest cities, even if that makes some poorer cities unhappier.

So, does this tool tkae such things into consdieration. i.e. Do you have to enter the financial details of all your cities into it?

Not that I'm aware.

These are some discrepancies between the tool and the game - Tarentum is the capital.

The tool seems to be underestimating the grace distance as 12.5, whereas it seems to be ~15. Anything within 15 will have no penalty. That accounts for Capua & Messana.

The rest seem to be on the boundaries between two levels, e.g. 77.88 is rounded to 70 by the calculator, but is 65 in the game.

Edit: Looking at the data, it looks as if any city over 85 (or 86 perhaps) is rounded up to 80% penalty.
