That wasn't very helpful, was it. OK - lets pretend I am Gartner: confidence of it being within 7 days: 15%. Within 14 days: 85%

But I'm just a beta tester, so that's not a commitment! - Its a 'good' rumour.

Each nation has an upgrade level equal to the sum of the squares of the barracks and half the sum of the squares of the cultural developments quantity sum divided by fifty. The upgrade level determines the total number of upgrades available to the nation.



It is not working as described. The real data is more or less* 3 times the sum of the squares of the barracks, plus the sum of the squares of the cultural developements, all divided by 100.

So you can reach the 20 upgrades (the max upgrades you can have) with 5 provinces with barracks 10 and culture 10, or 20 provinces with barracks 5 and culture 5.


(*)= I can't came up to an exact formula but this i provide is acurate with an error of +/- 0.005 for each province (so with 10 provinces, this brings an error of 0.05).

I have a used-once 12-cup coffee maker sitting idle in my attic. Send my your address and its yours. Put it right in the basement next to the water cooler and 20 pound bag of java beans.

So it's easier to compare ...

Erics formula is equivalent to (2*SSB + SSC)/100

While Mari is saying it's (3*SSB + SSC)/100

I admit I've never hand calculated the sums of the squares of my barracks/culture. The code seems to follow 2*SSB:

float TGame::Info_Calc_No_Upgrades(PLAYER_HANDLE hPlayer)
{
int mil = 0;
int PlayerDev[NoPlayersWithTreaties];
zap(PlayerDev);
Info_CountDevelopmentSquaresForPlayers(PlayerDev, TCity::Martial_Dev);
mil += PlayerDev[hPlayer];
Info_CountDevelopmentSquaresForPlayers(PlayerDev, TCity::Cultural_Dev);
mil += PlayerDev[hPlayer]/2;

return (float) mil/50.0f;
}

The above is the method that is called when calculating the number in the Upgrade Report from the Econ Advisor.

and

void TGame::Info_CountDevelopmentSquaresForPlayers(int* pPlayerDev, int dev)
{
assert(dev<TCity::eoDev);

TPieceLoop Loop(PTProvMap);
GAMEPIECE pPiece;
for (Loop.Reset(); Loop.Continue(); Loop.Next())
{
pPiece = (GAMEPIECE) Loop;
if (pPiece->IsACity() && pPiece->GetPlayerId()<NoPlayersWithTreaties)
{
pPlayerDev[pPiece->GetPlayerId()] +=
pPiece->GetCityDevelopment(dev)*pPiece->GetCityDevelopment(dev);
}
}
}

Status: offline 		I think i know what is happening. The key is

quote:

mil+=PlayerDev[hPlayer]/2

As mil is an integer, if you divide an odd number, the result is truncated. For example, if you have a level 3 culture, the result of the function is 9, divided by 2 is 4.5, but as mil is integer, it only adds 4.

This can explain the inacuracies in my results and makes me wonder.... 3*SSB is exactly the same as SSB/50 + (SSB/2)/50 so it seems the call to

quote:

Info_CountDevelopmentSquaresForPlayers(PlayerDev, TCity::Cultural_Dev);
mil+=PlayerDev[hPlayer]/2


do not reset the value of PlayerDev[hPlayer], so instead of counting the squares of culture, it ADDS the squares of culture to the squares of barracks.

Ahh, makes sense. I missed that it was an integer. Indeed, you won't get the fraction if you divide into the integer!
