[1.4] Issues with EconomicStimulus / CulturalFestival

Posted on Saturday, October 17, 2015

Firstly, the tooltips for the two are wrong - they still indicate just a +5% bonus.  Given the now variable nature of the stimulus/festival, either correct this with the formulae used, or simply eliminate it.

 

Secondly, the values seem *VERY* step-function. I'd have to look at the code, but it *roughly* appears that the formula is something like "SOCIAL production / 10" dropping all fractions, times 5%. AKA:  (SocProd DIV 10) * 0.05

Social production:  

0-9:   NO benefit from the festival/stimulus

10-19:  +5%

20-29: +10%

30-39: +15%

 

That's terrible.  It should be a much smoother gradient. (Social Production DIV 2) * 0.01 as a bonus , is a far, far, far better idea.
