189% Inflation

[deanjack]

I was playing as the Deutch on an archipalego map. It's the modern age and i have a lot of cities but finances are fine untill i look at the inflation 1427gpt and 189%. I know there is no way to reduce inflation but is there a way to keep it or reduce the speed that it increases it, to help in later games?

Pretty new to civ 4, but in the assets\gameinfo\sic4gamespeedinfo.xml there are 2 values relating to inflation. %, and offset (a negative number) That may be a starting point?

Hopefully the patch makes it out soon, it says it at least caps inflation. Currently, it does seem to get a bit out of control late in the game.

The national bank event helps a lot (-25%) inflation, but you should be paying that much because you should be abusing of corps. Try Solver's patch and/or adopt State Propriety

I'm not an expert in inflation, but this should help!


EDIT: welcome to the forums, Bvb88!!!

use the Solver Patch.

Inflation isn't so bad once corporations aren't affected by it.

Patch 3.13 should reduce it (although it will still be high probably)
Solver's Patch in the meantime

Look on the bright side - at least it's not 190%.

Then go and kill another Civ... you'll feel much better.

Which means that you'll have even higher inflation from the new colonies under your control.

^ No inflation has NOTHING to do with how many cities you have...it has to do with how many turns you've been playing.

And the income/output of your empire - which grows with your number of cities. Kaching!

Yeah, colonies are known to cost HUGE maintenance after a while, with unpatched inflation those costs get ridicilous. I'm using Solver's patch but before it, I had corporations causing global depressions. Global Civic: Enviromentalism + Corpo spam = lol.

189%, watch out Robert Mugabe, theres someone nipping at your heels.

Well the % has nothing to do with Anything besides how long you've been playing.
