Did you try playing the Tutorial scenario?

By shortest path I assume you mean diagonally? Hm, here is another faraway city, dx=9, dy=10. Temple present, "Output_Waste_Pct" = 15. End result: trade 11 (+5), so corruption: 6. But it has a -15% corruption builsing and with so many steps and rounding ups/downs, I don't even want to try...

Due to some confusion over how corruption is calculated in this thread , I believe it would be useful to ⋅ Add a page describing how output waste works to the Economy section of the help browser ⋅ Change the "Corruption" and "Waste" entries in the city info bo...

Well, if you punch those numbers into a caclulator without rounding, you get a base corruption of 25 + 9*4 = 61. Deduce 15% of that and you get 61 * 85% = 51.85. Applying that to 11 trade, you'd get 11 * (100 - 51.85)% = 11 * 48.15% = 5.2965 trade left. If we'd rounded before, we'd have gotten 11 * ...

Are you sure the waste by distance calculation uses pythagorean distance? If we use shortest path, that's only 18, which would lead to a corruption of 97 (which is in percent, according to README.effects). 14 * 97% yields 13.58, which (I would assume) is truncated to 13. I would like to mention, tho...

No, not currently. In Freeciv 3.1, there will be a voodoo method using lua script, but until then, you're out of luck.

Veteran_Build has always worked with UnitClass requirements; otherwise the whole idea of having separate barracks, port facility and airport would've never worked. To be honest, I wouldn't look at the wiki for things like that (that page is outdated anyways), but instead look at README.effects, and ...

You could start the server with verbose logging, i.e. "freeciv-server -d 3", and then, when the error occurs, look at what came before (presumably attempting to send something to the client).

Also, I believe the "negated" (and then "present") aren't supposed to be something additional, but a way to generalize and abstract the requirements system, which makes both it and anything dealing with it (such as AI) clearer and less error-prone. I think it is clear enough tha...

Adding more complex effect requirement formulae probably wouldn't affect computation time too much, but it would make it significantly harder for AI to understand them. Also, I believe the "negated" (and then "present") aren't supposed to be something additional, but a way to gen...
