GDP formula

Post by mSterian »

Hey there.
Anyone knows how exactly is the GDP of a colony calculated?
Is there a formula?
It doesn't seem to be simplu: Pop x development(culture)

Development = culture right?

GDP in k = population in millions * development factor * (quality - 50) * (1- fractional colony corruption) * (1 + fractional income bonuses from leader,governor) * (1+ fractional bonus from race) * (1+ fractional bonus from government) * (1+ fractional bonus from wonders) * 1/(scale factor for difficulty)

At normal difficulty scale factor typically 172800. Be back in a few minutes with an example.

EDIT : Home world capitol = 2711k = 27221m * dev 175 * quality (97-50) * corruption (1-0) * Leader + governor (1 + .40) * Govt way of ancients (1+.10) * (great mercantile (1+.10) * race wekkarus bonus (1+.24) * 1/factor yields factor - 173478

Edit : Home world Wekkarus just conquered= 369k = 21325m * dev 83 * quality (98-50) * corruption (1-.59) * Leader no governor (1+.23) *1.1 * 1.1 * 1.24 / factor yields factor = 174212

Edit : top non home world colony = 183 = 6279 * 145 * (72-50) * .88 * 1.23 * 1.1 * 1.1 * 1.24 / factor yields factor = 177756

The numbers are a bit in disagreement due to rounding errors in population and income.
