Mechanus Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 We are working on a resource tool for the alliance to help with building trade rings and we've noticed that between the numbers listed for specific resources and the totals given by the CN Resource Calculator there are a few discrepancies. Are some of the resources decimal placed but rounded for ease of use? We found that with cattle, fish, sugar, and wheat there is a total of 24% increase in citizens. However, in the resource calc tool it shows a 26.1% increase. The same applies to pigs in place of cattle in regards to percentage discrepancies. Is it possible to get the exact values of the individual resources? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta1212 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Percentages multiply, they don't stack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanus Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Can you explain exactly how they multiply? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raskull Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 If I give you $1 then tell you I'm going to add 10% to your money, you have $1.10. If I, again, tell you I'm going to add 10% to your money, you have $1.21 ($1.10 + 10%). This isn't the same as adding 20% to your original dollar (which would be $1.20). So basically, fish and cattle = 1.08 * 1.05 = 1.134, or an increase of 13.4%, not 13%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enderland Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Can you explain exactly how they multiply? If you have fish/wheat you get - 1.08*1.08 = 1.1664 increase So while they add to be only 16%, they stack to give a 16.64% increase. Repeat that with all the other resources and you'll see why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanus Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hehehe. Ok, I see what we were doing wrong in this. We were looking at things a bit differently. Cheers mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
