You mean only because I didn't took into account the cities with (near) zero corruption due to the Palace, SPHQ and FP? If not, then this answer is still pretty close to average rank corruption since all cities have the same rank corruption number (aside from mentioning Palace/SPHQ/FP/anti-corruption buildings).That i get as well. It is no average, though.
I get something different than you: d=MaxD/4, and MaxD=(100+100)/4. Solving this we get d=12.5%.I ignored the 3 capital cities as they have zero corruption. The way you calculated distance corruption is wrong. Both rank corruption and distance corruption are calculated separately for each city. In communism this leads to same results if everything relevant is the same. In case of courthouse and police station it is 0.25*0.5^2=0.0625=6.25%.
Assuming courthouses and police stations in every single city (which isn't the case), plugging the 'd' value into the equation for 'da', we find: 0.5^2 * min(1 * 1 * 0.125, MaxD) = 3.125%, not 6.25%.
This is also in line what is stated below the 'da' formula: ''So each anti-corruption building, which is a city improvement with the reduces corruption ability in the editor (Courthouse and Police Station), divides distance corruption by 2.'' So that would be a division by 4, not 2. We would get 3.125%, not 6.25%.
However, I also noticed I made two mistakes in my last calculation:
First, I can calculate the average distance corruption much easier: merely about 25 out of 117 cities have both a courthouse and police station. So their average distance corruption is 3.125%. However, all other cities have an average corruption of 12.5%. Therefore, we get: (25*.03125% + 92*0.125%) / 117 = 10% (10.5% rounded down) distance corruption.
Second, all cities have the same rank under Communism for rank corruption, rounded down: ''In a communal form of government, all cities have the same rank, which is half the total number of cities in the empire, rounded down.'' So rank corruption is not actually the 22.88% you and I both calculated first (and neither the 28.67% I calculated in my last comment), but: (58 / (109.28 * 2)) = 26% (26.54, rounded down)..
However, unfortunately we're still rather off from my average calculated corruption using CivAssist II (it being 29.8%), since now we get 10% (10.5, rounded down) + 26% (26.54, but rounded down) = 36%... It should be at least a little lower bc I didn't calculate cities having the Palace/FP/SPHQ, but that alone can't explain away a 6% difference.
Well you said the ''1.6949%'' or '0.016949' number was in relation to my calculated difference of 1.1% after deleting those 8 cities. You claimed this estimated difference was a result of mere rounding, where it was at least also a result of measuring the wrong amount of courthouses/police stations in all my cities: ''One might think so, but your concrete example is (anecdotal) evidence against that idea. The theoretical difference is 1.6949 percentage points, the measured one is only 1.1 percentage points. Since both cases are very close to each other, rounding has a relatively large impact.''That "mistake" is on purpose to stay true to the original example. Inhomogeneities as you describe were unknown to me and complicate calculations beyond reason. Police stations barely pay off in communism, but they do in the long run. So that is a semi-sensible assumption.
Good to know.Nopt is not rounded. It being an integer in the examples above is just luck resulting mostly of OCN=20. Outside of communism such luck is less likely.
Ah, you did seem to be correct on this.Rank in communism is amount of cities divided by 2 and rounded down.
Thank you for this, so it is an addition to the equation after Nopt has been calculated as a whole. And yes, the values are always equal to an anti-corruption building.Think of it as increasing Ni by 1. So WLTKD is essentially just a third anti-corruption building.
There may be one difference. WLTKD may not lower the upper threshold for corruption. At least i have seen no evidence for it to do that. So there is that caveat why alexman did not describe it as as a third anti-corruption building. Such an inconvenience.
As for ''WLTKD may not lower the upper threshold for corruption. At least i have seen no evidence for it to do that'', do you mean it doesn't lower the highest corruption possible by 10% like courthouses/police stations do?
