Follow-up Comment #2, bug #22158 (project freeciv): The way I see it, I think the upkeep should take into acount all the cities from all the players on the same team, as you point. Thanks for the ruling. If the tech upkeep is shared and paid only once per team [...] There's the rub. Looking at the code, I think currently you get a random team member's cities multiplied by the number of team members(!) -- see bug #22058. Making the obvious change to tech_upkeep_calc() would make upkeep the number of cities in the team * the number of team members, which is too much (penalises big teams). Depending on how bug #22058 turns out, no further code change may be necessary to get the behaviour we want. In the meantime, I fear we have to declare the combination of team_pooled_research and tech_upkeep irretrievably broken, and just remember that this is the behaviour we want from tech_upkeep_style Cities when we get round to fixing it. (Since team_pooled_research is enabled by default, that means civ2civ3 team games will not do the right thing. And we keep finding other bugs when team_pooled_research is _disabled_.) Accordingly, dumping this on the player research metaticket for now. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?22158 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #22158 (project freeciv): The way I see it, I think the upkeep should take into acount all the cities from all the players on the same team, as you point. The original idea of this new style was to redefine the tech upkeep as the bulbs needed per city. When the tech upkeep is 10, one player should pay 10 bulbs per city, and 4 players in same team should also pay 10 bulbs per city. If the tech upkeep is shared and paid only once per team, I think it should take into account all the cities owned by the team. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?22158 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

URL: http://gna.org/bugs/?22158 Summary: tech_upkeep_style 'Cities' vs team_pooled_research Project: Freeciv Submitted by: jtn Submitted on: Sun 08 Jun 2014 01:30:06 BST Category: None Severity: 3 - Normal Priority: 5 - Normal Status: None Assigned to: None Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Release: Discussion Lock: Any Operating System: None Planned Release: ___ Details: The new tech_upkeep_style added in bug #19589 makes upkeep proportional to the players' city count. In the case of a team with team_pooled_research enabled, should it be proportional to the total number of cities across all players on the team? Their science output is likely to be proportional to that. (Bug #22058 suggests that the two might be effectively incompatible at the moment anyway.) ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?22158 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
