Commerce (Advanced)
From Alpha Centauri Wiki
Commerce is computed base by base between factions with Treaties and Pacts, as follows:
- First, all bases for each faction are ranked from top to bottom by Energy output.
- Bases are paired off from top to bottom. If one faction has extra bases, these are ignored.
- For each pair of bases, sum the combined economic output and divide by 8, rounding up.
- Double this value if a Global Trade Pact is in effect.
- Now, for each individual base, the commerce formula is as follows: (ValueFromStep4) × (CommerceTech+1) ÷ (TotalCommerceTech+1)
- CommerceTech is the total number of economic technologies discovered, plus faction & social bonuses.
- TotalCommerceTech is the total number of economic technologies in the game.
- Now, using the value from step 5, divide by 2 if no Pact (e.g. only a Treaty)
- Add 1 if you are Planetary Governor.
- Reduce to 0 if sanctions are in effect against either faction.
