Science>trade

[SavedSaint]

Well if some of you vetrans out there could help me i would be in debt the rest of my gaming life on freeciv.

First i need to know how science trade works.

The yellow area of special resources is trade amount.
It says in manual that trade goes to science.

So i checked my citys and see i get about 1 science from them even if i have trade +2 or +3.

Some citys i don't get science from at all.

I think that has to do with distance.

So my question is simple.

How does trade effect science, the math of it.

And what are city distance rates on lossing

The amount to trade arrows diverted to science depends on your tax(gold)/science(lightbulbs)/luxury rate(luxuries). A 2nd factor which can lower your trade (and shield production) is corruption which will increase the further away your citiy is located from the capital and your government system.

It depends on the percentages set on the tax slider on how these trade arrows are divided. If you have your tax rate set to 60% and science to 40% and only two trade arrows, you'll get two gold. If you have 3 trade arrows, you'll get two gold and one science.
