Reply to How is the planetary research output (number of flasks) calculated? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Holy Hell! [e digicons]:omg:[/e] ........ The correct formula then should be: f = rp * [ pb/100 + 1 ] * [ rb/100 * 2,64 + 1 ] where f=flasks; rp=research production (base production); pb=planetary bonus; rb=racial bonus. But there is still an error of ~ 0.1%-0.5% therein, I can't solve. Works with no bonuses pretty fine, also with 100% planetary bonus (TechCap), but with only 25% (RCC) the number of flasks is over-calculate

No, you can't. But that's a nice idea actually, and yes, some of the names of the Military Starbases Techs are quite deceiving. [img]http://amcore.kryofx.com/sig/21996/2.png[/img][img]http://amcore.kryofx.com/sig/21996/1/5.png[/img]

Willy, you may be right. It seems that the bonus applied to research is getting greater as the other %-bonuses [racial, planetary, SB etc] are getting greater - but the relation to it is not proportional nor based on a single x²-factor... However, there is a non-optimal, non-accurate solution. One can reverse the maths by taking the research output into the equation, and putting this into relation to the planetary rp-output, and all the %-appliers - and then get a factor. Li

Leon, you´ll find the post within this thread helpfull, esp. those at the beginning. Once you know the basic framework - these games are very easy and one could go further to tweak them with own ideas. And if it holds true that there is a secret bonus to Research on the higher difficulty levels - then these games are actually the most easy at the suicidal-level. btw, a "classical" ZYW ends on 8th April - however, most of them could be ended sooner [which will cau

Well, the problem persists on ALL the worlds on this map. Actually - on ALL maps/games I start with Techbonuses - even on day one where there hardly could be any treaties. But just as you mention it - how are Research treaties actually incorporated into the game? Because that might be another factor, and I really really hope at this point that the difference is NOT based on varying multiple factors - because that would make it pretty hard to find out how the equation could finally

Iztok, ty for your time. Actually no - there are no Econ SB on the whole map present. I´ve backchecked the planetary bonuses (from colonization) - there is/are none. [The planet with the 1344 flasks output IS the starting planet - so there wasn't any "colonization"] I don´t have the RCC built. But even if I had - the 25% of it won´t make 1344 out of 754. However, I'm having trouble on ALL my worlds to calculate the res

Reply to Why are the Dread Lords invincible now? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

The game uses this formula sqrt( ( 2 * Attack ) + Defense + ( Current HP / 2 ) ) to determine ship-strength. However, I don't really know if that does apply to your example here, but it could be - the already tougher weapons of the DL ship would be given much more weight than the HP's of your ships. Speaking about my own experiences with the DL - if I am not able to overtake their pl

Hi all, I´m just playing an all-lab strat with slider set to 0/0/100, and having difficulty on deciding if I should add a RCC or a Discovery Sphere over existing planetary structures. If I would know exactly how the flasks for each planets are calculated this would be a great help. I´ve tried searching the forum/wiki - but everything that is said just doesn´t add up to the numbers my game shows me - or I just calculate them wrong. Maybe s

Charles, that would be a nice feature really [e digicons]}:)[/e] - but you can´t blow up a single planet (although you can blow up the entire system with a Terror Star - but it takes even more time than simply invading a planets, so...) but I see no reason why you simply ignore those small planets because, later on, try maxing out your influence and you´ll see those small planets flip on a constant basis - this saves you not only troops, but brings you new planets that ar
