  • Please explain.

    Can you please explain why a city with 28 can have 150 science.

    Here comes the city:
    1:Lib (50%)
    2:Uni (50%)
    3:Cope's (50%)
    4:Newies (100%)

    He has 90% used in science, in Democracy.
    There is no day of Celibration.
    He has not completed SETI's.
    It is the capital.
    4 of the 28 trade is from using caravans towards other nations.

    My (grand) total of science in this city would be 3.5*25= 98
    There is a diff. of 52.

    Please explain what is causing this diff.

    Have you count scientists? One scientist=3*3.5=10.5, 5 scientists=52.5 round down to 52.

      28 trade x 90% = 25.2 science, round down to 25

      library and university each add 1/2 of that (12 for library, 13 more for univ) = 50

      Despite what the Civilopedia says, it's actually Copernicus that doubles science and Newton that adds half, not the other way around. These Wonders are multiplicative, so you get 50 x 2 x 1.5 = 150 science.

      A research facility would add another 50% to the base, giving 62 x 2 x 1.5 = 186. I think SETI would also be additive rather than multiplicative, and only one or the other would take effect.

        Xin Yu- There were no scientists.

        Debeest- Thanks for explaining. This civilopedia brought me on the wrong foot I guess

            freshman tested and discovered that SirIsaac's college only increased improvement arrows, not the base trade created by the city's workers. C's Observatory doubles the whole base number.

            Edit: In case anybody wants details, I think the thread was titled "The Science of Science", right here in the strategy forum...

              I think it would be more accurate to say that Isaac (and Copernicus, I would have thought, but perhaps not) ONLY WORKS if there is a science improvement, but then multiplies the combined base-and-improvement science.
