Commerce (Advanced)
From Alpha Centauri Wiki
Commerce is computed base by base between human factions with Treaties and Pacts, as follows:
- 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 more 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.
- 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 & Economy bonuses.
- TotalCommerceTech is the total number of economic technologies in the game (6 unless modded).
- Now, using the value from step 5, divide by 2 if no Pact (only a Treaty).
- Add 1 if Planetary Governor.
- Reduce to zero if sanctions are in effect against either faction.
