Can you break down the trade again? I had always thought that if you upped a 300 BC deal to a 325 BC deal that you started over in terms of making a profit, so that you should never increase a deal unless you could basically double the amount of trade.

Thotimx posted:Sure. Trade starts at -30% of the deal amount and increases by 0-5% per year. That means on average it will take about 50 years or a little more to max out with no changes being made. When you re-up a deal though, you do not start over. The % return is the average of -30% and what your current return is. So for a specific example; say there's 100 BC on the deal and you are at 50% return(50 BC per year). If you add 25BC to it, the new deal with 125BC at a 10% return(50% + -30% divided by 2). So you're down to 13BC but still maintaining a profit -- you don't go back down to -30% on the full amount. . That would explain the advice I had seen to never increase unless you can double. Taking your 100 BC and 50% return - since you're always going to be averaging -30% and 50%, you'd take an extra hit over the real weighted average unless you double the trade amount (you of course take less than an extra hit if you increase more than double, but at double is when you get the real average). I take your point about the relations effect though. ulmont fucked around with this message at 21:32 on May 9, 2017 |

GuavaMoment posted:Are you talking poo poo about MOO2 because we're about to have a problem. MOO2 is not in the slightest stripped down or simplified. I think you can go ahead and have a problem, but I'm pretty sure he's talking about the recent game launched under the name "Master of Orion" which is basically MOO2 with updated graphics. Also game breaking balance changes in patches.
