Different commerce and production corruption

[ahman]

I'm probably missing something obvious here, but why is commerce corruption 3/4 (which makes sense for this distant city) but production corruption only 1/2?

 

[Nergal]

I think its something to do with the buildings, ie the red coin piles next to each one.

 

[need my speed]

Well, those red coins next to those buildings are their maintenance cost.

Maybe you have a research with only 1 turn left, and all those commerce is just going to waste because your slider is higher than needed? Civ traits might be the cause too, but I don't think so...

According to the Corruption article in the War Academy, Waste gets a modification to the code used to determine Corruption/Waste when you're in WLTKD.
