Corruption and waste

[Thoddy]

Oh whats this. Confusion about my post.

I don't want to add to the 'confusion' and a quick search of the manual did not yield results...but I seem to remember a reference somewhere that connecting a new city to the Capitol (by road) will reduce or effect happiness or corruption or both in the new city. Is this what was meant??

yes

As SG[1] say in his post - its the same thing as the tradebonus (use the same programroutines).

I will create a sav and post it tomorrow.
Í found this thing when i check the ongoing trade formula last year.

See this link about trade

Sorry, Thoddy I missed that thread when it was active - have just bumped it.
I do not recall any other reference to Corruption and Waste being route to capital related...

In trading - bonusses acrue if an 'optimal path' between the trading cities is roaded or RRed - this path which need not be complete as long as it leaves the city and terminates in any city is most easily determined by tracking an Explorer from A to B - it is NOT transitive ie the route A-B is not necessarily the same as B-A

It has been suggested above that a road to the capital along this 'optimal path' will impinge upon waste - this is new to this forum and hence the cries of confusion from ST and myself

Does this help at all ??

SG[1]

deebee deebee deebeet,
so to summorize road are good especially for cities named a and b

[Scouse Gits]

Yes it is absolutely vital to ensure that all trade takes place between city a and city b - glad you picked up that point and ran with it -- unfortunately not far enough

Here is the save. FW needed.

The Road effect is a little effect on shields. Buit only If there are Courthouse and Roads.

rules.txt (german) included.
Changes: grassland produce 10 Arrows and 10 shield (IF ressource)
Freight has 42 mp and threat all square as road

In the same configuration I tested the trade multipliers.
In this case I build a lot of cities in a horizontal line. city-empty-city-empty-city
and so on.

Hm, I saw thoddy's savefile quickly. It looks there is effect to the waste but no effect to the corruption.

Interesting observations on the effects of roads on trade

[SlowThinker]

I added the effect of courthouse, road to capital added and capital building to the 1st post.

SlowThinker - you are still using the IP address to access poly - this can have some fairly nasty side effects on occasion - change your bookmarks to be http://apolyton.net/forums to avoid these
