Since inflation is now such a simple thing, it's only based on number of hurry production with gold that has been done recently (The number decays per X turn, X depending on gamespeed), I decided it should be a core economic factor that helps balance games regardless of options. This inflation is the ying to the yang that is treasury upkeep. Treasury upkeep push you to spend money, while hurry prod inflation penalize you for doing so.
I didn't know and screwed my game. This is going to be a pain to deal with.
I suspect you have enough gold to weather the inflation storm until it deflates away. ;p
That's much of the reason why it was removed, the re-implementation is different, and currently a lot simpler in design.
Just checking - it continues to decay even if money is spent elsewhere, yes/no? Example: If I buy 10X things on turn 1, then continue to buy 1X things each turn ad infinitum, does the inflation rate decay from that generated from 10X to a steadystate of 1X or does it continue to increase from the 10X value, if slowly? The latter could make it very annoying lategame because you have to remember to not purchase something... The former I'd imagine players like Irishhombre can live with - you'll naturally slow down purchasing stuff as your income falls - but the latter could easily ruin games.
Yeah, that's going to be an issue when inflation is introduced to an already existing game - if you're not careful, you can wreck your economy by continuing to purchase things that you won't be able to afford. Good news, based on those values, you ought to be able to acquire gold from "allies" in exchange for tech or whatnot, and once you're steady again let us know if you too easily end up back in the same situation.
The number increments by 1 each time hurry production (gold) is performed, the number decrement every X turn.
Can't really sell tech, barely ahead of them due to having slow down tech research.
Deleting saves is... a bit extreme. I'm not sure why it would be increasing each turn if you aren't buying anything... either something is being bought by a govenor and you're not noticing, or something is maybe wonky in the inflation code. Which version are you playing, curr SVN or v41? If you still have the save, consider uploading it.
Aren't you playing with space content unlocked for Earth?
Don't use governor to build buildings, only to manage citizens. Using latest SVN, already had to delete my saves once to not realizing the game options at start up got moved around. Will look through recycle bin.
