Revolution Watch Indices

[Master176281]

Sorry for this question but I am now searching the whole day and wasn't successfull

Where can I find the formulas for the calculations for Revolution Watch Indices?

I have found some hints on a "effect calculator.ods" but I cannot find this file.

I would be very thankful for any advise

The formulas are all in Revolution.py in Python code, inside the updateLocalRevIndices and updateCivStability. They should be understandable as long as you know a little bit about how variables work in computer code. That's where I would recommend you look.

The effect calculator spreadsheet is really more of a scratch pad where I try out ideas and formulas and not something that's intended to be clear to anyone else. It hasn't been updated recently, so some sections are obsolete. You're welcome to take a look at it though, it's in the /docs/Better BTS AI/ folder for some reason now ... I'll move it to Revolution for the next release.

Thank you very much

Now I know where to look and I have something to do for this Sunday

EDIT\

Ok now some things are clear. But one thing is making me crazy at the moment. The garrison effect. I think I understand how it works and
in my calculations I get the same results as in the effect calculator BUT NOT IN MY GAME:

3 defenders (post-liberalism) without walls should give a garIdx of -2 but instead I get -1.

Have I forgotten something? Is the revolution watch (cheat) garrison number equal garIdx?

It might be an integer math issue ... try switching the code to:

garIdx = -int( 2*pow(pCity.plot().getNumDefenders(iPlayer)/2.0, .5) - .5 )
