[v1.12g3] Wrong Governor Relation Modifier

Post by Emx77 »

I think there is something wrong with governor's relationship malus applied for asset production. By digging old posts on this forum, I've found Governor Relation Modifier formula to be: Bonus (or Malus) = (current relation level - 50)/2. I'm getting pretty consistent results when relation level is above 50. For example, for governor with relation level 76, bonus is (76 - 50)/2 = 13%. It is in accordance with the manual where it says (p. 123): "For Governors, the Relation Score impacts Public Resource production levels with up to +25% or -25%"

However, when relation score is below 50, I'm getting weird results. In this example (Fig. 1), malus should be (32 - 50)/2 = -9% but in fact it is -15%. On the following turn, the situation is even more weird. Relation with same governor increased from 32 to 33, but instead of decreasing, relation modifier jumped to -18%.

Save game attached.

More strange things related to governors. I've decided to decrease their salary from 2 Cr to 0 Cr. The Pop-up screen informed me about relationship hit. Relationship dropped in range from -8 points to 0 points. I assume that Nick Kepler likes to work pro bono.

However, actual relationship increased! All screenshots are from the same turn, before and after adjusting salaries.

In fact I have decided to soon update the manual to reflect the gov prod mod to vary between +25 and -50 instead of +25 and -25.

Dear Vic, will score of -50 be related just for specific situation when there is no governor assigned or your intention is to change formula for whole range of relation scores below 50?
Idea is good relation (>50) gives a bonus... while bad relation (<50) will result in a penalty varying from close to 0 (rel 49) to -50 (rel 0) , the last one equaling the penalty for having no governor assigned at all.
