Embassy Cost

[Wai_Wai]

What is the forumla of determining the cost of a embassy?
What factors in affecting embassy cost?

Thanks.

I believe the cost is affected by how far away your capital is from another civ's capital.

I thought it had to do with how big (powerful) the other civ is

In either case I find it's always too much

Cost of an embassy is based on:
- Distance between your capital and the capital where you're placing the embassy
- Size of the city where you're placing the embassy

Don't know the exact formula though...

The formula can be found in my espionage article: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=97042&page=1

The part you are looking for:

dist - distance from his capital to your nearest city
pop - size of capital
level - level of settlement, 1 for town, 2 for city and 3 for metropol
base - 20 for unmodded game

Cost: dist*level + base + pop

Note that the price depends on distance to your nearest city, not your capital.

I would like to ask:
> pop - size of capital
Which one? My own capital? My target capital? Or else?

> level - level of settlement, 1 for town, 2 for city and 3 for metropol
Which one? My own capital? My target capital? Or else?

His capital in both cases.

Really close civs are often 30 to 40. My average is about in the eighties.
