formulaes ?

[Pocus]

Hi,

I would like to know how is calculated the upkeep a city has, as it depends of distance to capitol and total number of cities if I understand well.

Also, how inflation is calculated?

Upkeep cost of units, supply cost?

Basically all which costs something in the game. If some of the upkeep are quadratic in nature, then I have to know up to which level I can go, at a given time

just read on the Velociryx thread that cities 1-2 dont have maintenance, and cities 3-4 have a nominal one. Can anybody provide me with a formula, or perhaps the xml location of the rule?

I doubt anybody knows the exact formulaes. The xml files generally give you the variables used, not the calculations themselves.

It will take a hack or an enormous empirical analysis to figure out the formula. I think the hack may be easier.

It may not be a formula, by the way, it may need to be calculated via algorithm, which makes it REALLY hard to do empirically.
