C3C Corruption: Whoa!!!

[alexman]

A second FP does increase the rate of rank increase, but slightly less than three times the original. I didn't bother to figure exact numbers because by that point I was sure it was a bug, not a feature.

Since you're averaging them out, it's no more or less advantageous to build one city each at ranges 3, 4, and 5 than it is to build three cities at range 4. Thus you would be neither rewarded nor penalized for RCP, as it should be.

I hope this is possible for Firaxis, and implemented in a patch. Thanks for the explanation, Arnelos.

So far 3 or more solutions here are better than both the old(PTW) and new(c3c) way of doing it.

Start coding!!

Yeah, because what you find important is more vital than anything else they might be doing, or anything else in their lives. Get a grip and have some patience. Or enjoy the other 99 percent of the game that works just fine. The "I'm not going to bother with Conquests until it gets a patch" people need to seriously examine themselves in the mirror. Or maybe not, because if they found they weren't completely and utterly perfect, they might not want to bother with themselves either.

Conquests is a VAST improvement, and just because it wasn't a shimmering diamond the moment you got your hands on it doesn't mean it's not worth playing. I guess all the new units, fixes to a dozen different aspects of gameplay, and all the new scenarios are completely overshadowed by one thing, eh? Like I said, be careful not to look in the mirror, lest you find yourself imperfect too.

My opinion is that I am not going to bother with conquest until I get it. As I don't have it yet(unavailable here ) I choose to amuse myself(and maybe a few others) by suggesting minor improvements. Ther may be other things that need patching more than city-rank calculations, but if they decide that it is worth the time and effort to fix it,(anything from 1 hour to a day for a skilled prorammer) we have provided them with several solutions to choose from.

Corruption is such a fundamental part of the game that i will wait buying until I'm sure this is fixed. The developers promised RCP would be fixed... and they gave us inverted RCP. Makes me sick.

Really?!

The game still plays well (i.e. is fun). Just try not to concentrate on the details and you should recover from your nausea.

That's why people should not read these boards, most would probably never even have noticed on their own.

I'm so brutally anal when playing civ i will count ranks for every city i found to make sure it is optimal. I thought i would recover from that behavior with C3C

Dom, did you not see the 'perfect' part of his name?

Maybe we should leave Firaxis/BA Games support alone and send some anthrax letters to alexman instead??

So basically what this amounts to is that building a FP no longer decreases "overall" corruption due to city rank except for the -1 part of the equation.

[alexman]

Well, it still decreases distance corruption for the cities that are closer to the FP than the palace.

[joncnunn]

In that case, there was no need to change it if cities after the tied cities have the proper values.

No, that's the way it was.

[joncnunn]

But since OCN is more imporatant than distance corruption combined with the fact that the area of the palace is more developed than a typical location of the FP when there's no intention for palace hoping, it's almost certinately the case that building the FP will reduce the overall efficency of your empire curent curent civ 1.00 rules.
