    Anyone know the formula for determining social policy cost?

    That INT is actually for the exponentiation - I just threw the +50 in there with it to save a set of parentheses. One thing I might do is redefine C as "number of cities in addition to the capital" and remove the -1 from the formula. Also, INT(.2x)*5 is just rounding down to the next multiple of...

    Anyone know the formula for determining social policy cost?

    Thank you, that link saved me a lot of time that would have been spent failing to fix the rounding errors haha. This formula should be completely correct. Sooooo many INTs. *edit* I was able to simplify it quite a bit! Here is the latest. Any ideas for how to simplify it further while keeping...

    Anyone know the formula for determining social policy cost?

    Yea, I figured it was going to want a few more floors haha. I wish I could find the formula in the game files and stop just reconstructing it. I could have worded the part I think you are referring to with the "+25%" a bit better. What happens is that every five policies you unlock, .25 is...

    Anyone know the formula for determining social policy cost?

    Looks like there is a different amount added for ideological policies. Gotta go hunt that down... *edit* Looks like ideological tenets count as a normal increase in policy count, but they also add an additional multiplier to the total cost. Level 1 tenets add .02 to this multiplier, level 2 add...

    Will edit to fix that, thanks!

    Anyone know the formula for determining social policy cost?

    Ok, pretty much got it! It turns out that for every 5 policies you acquire, you are essentially adding 1/4 of a policy to your policy count. Something is very sliiightly off still - seems to be with my rounding. There are a few entries that just miss the rounding threshold and are 5 too high...

    Anyone know the formula for determining social policy cost?

    Getting closer! For standard speed, prince difficulty, and standard map size: (50+ (4* CurrentPolicyCount) ^ 2.22) * (1 + .07(CityCount - 1)), rounded down to the next 5 Changes I've found are rounding down to the next multiple of 5, and finding new map size multipliers. They are, as I...

    Anyone know the formula for determining social policy cost?

    Thanks! I don't much much about programming, but this seems like it is adding up discounts (capping at 75% discount) and applying them to the cost determined by the factors I mentioned before. From my searching, it looks like the formula to the original game before certain expansions/patches...

    Anyone know the formula for determining social policy cost?

    I've found some for the base game which factor in game speed, difficulty, map size, city count, and current policy count. I can't find the changes VP makes though, and can't figure out how to adapt the old formula to fit. *edit* Bonus question I ran across "NumCitiesTourismCostMod" in...

    My list of which victory type each civ is best suited for - Change my mind

    It seems like those 2 tier 3's come almost as a byproduct of pursuing tourism though. Maybe I just need to get better at getting tourism faster haha. Do you happen to know more about the specifics of historic event rewards (especially tourism)? I haven't been able to find the math for that...

    My list of which victory type each civ is best suited for - Change my mind

    Using latest beta, here's my list of which victory type I believe each civ is best suited for. Small clarification, but this is different than a list of which civs are best for a particular victory type. Still slightly ambiguous, but I would frame this as asking: Compared to a civ with no...
