(7-72a) Change How "Purchase Cost Reduction" Abilities Work - Industry Scaler Alternative

[Anarcomu]

Counterproposal to (7-91) Change how "purchase cost reduction" abilities work.

Original proposal (summed up):
Most cost reduction (excluding -33% to unit from Autocracy, and -25% to building from Order) are change to "purchase effectiveness".

Formula :
Discounted cost = Base cost / (1 + Sum of effectiveness modifiers)

Affected bonuses :

• Forbidden palace : -15% cost => +20% efficiency
• Industry Opener and Scaler : -5% cost => +7% efficiency
• Stock Exchange: -20% cost => +25% efficiency
• Rialto District: -10% cost (-15% in capital)=> +15% efficiency (+25% in capital)

Proposal :
Industry Opener and Scaler is +10% efficiency instead of +5%.

Rational :
As pointed out by @pineappledan, the industry base and scaler is too huge of a nerf. Since everything else is very good, I just change this part.

@Recursive @axatin I am still not convinced that the original math that has been presented correctly, the numbers seem way higher than is my experience. I am worried we are making changes more on a misunderstanding of the mechanics than an actual real balance is.

I already stated that MIC (and Communism I guess) stacks multiplicatively, but you kept factoring that in.

Well, it stacked multiplicatively, and this proposal won't change that.
It is still good for everyone to now that those are untouched.
