Civ 4 BTS 3.17 Corporation Inflation

[Stumpy123]

Hello all:
I was playing Civ4, BTS on version 3.17 and noticed that inflation seems to apply to corporations again. It is 1917AD in my game and inflation is at 101%. The corporation advisor says Cereal Mills should cost 8 gold for Ectabana and 7 for Persepolis, but if you go into the city screens, the maintenance is clearly about twice that (base cost + 101% inflation). I was wondering if anyone else has seen this and how to get rid of it. I know it was changed in version 3.13, but I reinstalled Civ4 recently and jumped straight to 3.17. I have my save attached if anyone's interested.

The problem is that the advisor is showing you the final cost (after courthouses are accounted for) but the maintenance breakdown is showing the initial cost. If you go into worldbuilder and remove Ecbatana's courthouse, you'll see the numbers match (aside from rounding). For more info, see the discussion in ALC #24 about this starting with my post and continuing to the later posts by MrCynical, our local corporation guru.

Rest assured, inflation is still being offset in the corp maintenance costs.
