C3C 1.13b - sinple FP & Corruption Test (Graphics intensive)

[TedJackson]

akots: I was reporting on observed effects, those we see in-game. If you want the true underlying figures I suggest you talk to Firaxis.

I don't have downloaded the 1.13b, but I have a few things to think about

It appears to me that corruption now works somewhat like this:

- Distance is calculated from nearest capital building for distance corruption
- Rank is still determined by distance from the one true capital for rank corruption

I am not sure about this. Before 1.13b, the rank calculation was something like :
rank is the number of cities with less distance to the PALACE than this city is away from a CAPITAL (FP or Palace) which is kind of weird (and allows an exploit) and would explain the results. But I think Distance corruption is only calculated by taking the distance to the palace.

No. Arathorn is right.

Distance is to the nearest Palace-like structure and Rank is determined from the Capital. I have done testing to confirm this as have others.

Haven't looked at 1.15 yet, but in civopedia for 1.13 FP expressly says it does NOT reduce distance corruption from the capital.

planetfall and Arathorn both are correct.

PF, the civopedia is incorrect in 1.13. That version was verified by testing to have distance corruption determined by distance to nearest palace (including FP), and the civopedia didn't match. This discrepancy was noted and in subsequent discussion and patches, the 'code' was the one determined to be correct. So Arathorn's comments are true, both for v1.13 (and v1.15 and likely beyond)

"- Distance is calculated from nearest capital building for distance corruption
- Rank is still determined by distance from the one true capital for rank corruption
- The FP has some special rank or coding to keep its corruption minimal
- OCN is bumped way up by the FP to mask the effect of the rank corruption if the FP is "near" the capital"

Regarding the last two notes:
* FP city corruption is capped at 30% max corruption for one thing
* OCN boost is currently around 3/7 (37.5%) but is subject to tweaking
Also:
* Max city corruption is likely to drop from 95% to 90%, and also likely that a courthouse would decrease that *max* corruption further, but this is subject to testing.
So that's the current status anyway. (Subject to change... they do call it 'beta' for a reason)

Claris,

Thanks. Yes I did see courthouse effect is supposed to be larger than 1.13 but
they are issuing patches faster than I can test/play.
