Cities & Empire

Population

• [New] +1% Population loss per -10 Food when the City is Starving 

• Farmers reduce the Total Food consumption and consumption per Population in the City:

  • [Removed] Food consumption per Population = 6 + 0.25 * Population

  • [Removed] Total Food consumption = 6 * Population + 0.25 * Population²

  • [New] Food consumption per Population = 6 + 0.25 * (Population - Farmers)

• • [New] Total Food consumption = 6 * Population + 0.25 * Population * (Population - Farmers)

• Overpopulation (Population without an assigned Specialist Slot) now produce +2 Food | +1 Industry | +2 Money

• Cities receive -10 Stability per Overpopulation

• Several Civics and Infrastructure now affect and rely on Overpopulation

Population Buyout

• Industry per Population from Forced Labor now scales with All Specialist output instead of Worker output only

  • • [Removed] IndustryPerPopulation = 5 * 1 max IndustryWorkplaceGainPerPopulation

    • [New] IndustryPerPopulation = CityLevel * 2.25 * 1 max (IndustryWorkplaceGainPerPopulation +FoodWorkplaceGainPerPopulation + ScienceWorkplaceGainPerPopulation + MoneyWorkplaceGainPerPopulation)

Trade Routes

• Adjusted Trade Route Upkeep cost modifier: added a 30% linear discount

• Fishing unlocks Naval Trade Routes on Coastal Territories

• Seafaring Mastery unlocks Naval Trade Routes across Oceans

Luxury Resources

• Luxury Manufactory

  • • Changed from being able to be built one per World to one per Empire so every empire can in theory have its own manufactory

• All Wondrous Effects

  • • [Removed] +2% Food | Industry | Money | Science per Copy of the Luxury owned on all Cities

    • [New] +5% Food | Industry | Money | Science on all Cities 

Bankruptcy

• Having a Money deficit on your Empire will reduce your Influence

• Bankruptcy Influence Reduction Formula:

  • • Influence Reduction = (EraValue * CityNumber * TurnsBankrupt ^ 2)

• Empires with Money or Influence deficits will lose Stability faster

  • • "[This way] they can have revolutions faster to stop the death spiral." 

Revolution

• Revolutions will now also remove 80% of your current Influence and Money stockpiles per Turn

  • • "This also means that when you are in negative Influence or Money, [they] will help you reach positive values again.”

• Influence and Stability penalties are disabled when Empire is at Bankruptcy or negative Influence

• [New] After Revolution for 10 Turns (Normal Speed) on all Cities:

  • • +2 Stability (Target Stability: 40)

    • +40% Fame Gain bonus multiplier

    • -80% Trade Upkeep

City Cap

• Being over City Cap no longer applies an Influence penalty but instead applies a Stability penalty on all Cities

• Being under City Cap will now grant an Influence bonus on Empire

• Formula for Stability Loss from being over City Cap:

  • • [New] Stability Loss =  (0.5+EraLevel/2)*(4c²+6c)

      1. • C is the number of Cities over the City Cap

• Formula for Influence Gain from being under City Cap:

  • • [New] Influence Gain = (EraLevel²)*(2c²+2c)

      1. • C is the number of Cities under the City Cap

Outposts

• [New] Can now exploit Lakes and Coastal Waters

• [New] No longer provide Money or Science

• +2 ⇒ +3 Industry

• Influence Buyout Cost Formula:

  • • [Removed] Influence Cost = 0.25 * ((IndustryCost) ^ 1.05 + TurnNumber * (TurnNumber / 75) ^ 1.25)

    • [New] Influence Cost = IndustryCost * (0.15 + 0.3 * (TurnNumber / 50) ^ 1.5 )

• Territory Attachment Cost:

  • • [Removed] Influence Cost = 30+30*AttachedTerritories*TotalAttachedTerritories

    • [New] Influence Cost = 30+10*AttachedTerritories*TotalAttachedTerritories+5*TotalAttachedTerritories^2

    • Where AttachedTerritories is the amount of Territories attached to the City and TotalAttachedTerritories is the amount of Territories attached to All Cities.

      1. • "In practice, this means that attaching territories is cheaper for bigger cities and more expensive for small cities, with the breakeven point (where it costs the same as vanilla) starting at 1 territory when you have 1 city, 2 territory when you have 2 cities, 3 territories when you have 4 cities, and between 3 and 4 territories at 5+ cities."
