(NOT A BUG) Corporation and Marathon speed: perhaps another bug

[marioflag]

I noticed that if you see civilopedia on the main menu or during a Marathon game, Corporation effect are scaled down due to speed.Considering that there is a bug similar with espionage i wonder if i found another bug due to game speed or it's WAD.

I'd think it's a bug - e.g. hammers and culture differences are accounted for in build costs and culture levels, this one creates double-counting and favors faster speeds.

Btw, you'd better downscale these images.

I founded Sid's Sushi Co. and on Marathon,Noble settings; i confirm i needed 4 resources to get an additional 1 food.

Is the corporation maintenance also proportionally reduced (i.e. half) at Marathon?

unfortunately i don't have anymore a save i need someone which has a save or game in modern era to confirm that

not likely

Warlords also had scaling bugs (with warlords generation). I wonder who creates and checks these formulas for scaling stuff across various game speeds, because they keep making mistakes with it and it really doesn't seem to be that difficult.

I hope there aren't more of these for instance with spy mission costs as we wouldn't detect those so quickly.

It's not a bug......i have now checked and corporation effects are scaled by map size.
On a duel map corporation effect in a single city are huge, while on a huge map they have really a minor effect.i have just to check whether also mainteinance costs are scaled, otherwise there will not be a bug but a balancing problem, because i don't know if 0,75 food or 0,50 food are really worth the cost of 20 or more gold

Oh, yes, that is a known fact. I had expected that the screenshots were taken at the same map size. Never change multiple variables at once.

I'm getting a bit paranoid and start to believe every bug report I see. I should have checked it myself.

we have to see if mainteinance fees are also scaled down to map size.

Yes, they should be.

 

[mrt144]

alexman, scaled down to map size as in 'the larger the map the lower the cost'?

I presume I can mark this "not a bug"?
