Trade agreements

I have a question about trade agreements that I never really figured out...

I know on the Races screen you can see how much you are getting from an empire that has a trade agreement with you, but how can you tell how much you are giving in return? Is it always equal?

No, it's the same percentage of your income. I don't know any way of finding out, except look at the income window and multiply by 20%.

Ahh, the trade "intel" screen.
Multiply what you get from the trade treaty with the percantage the treaty is on, and you'll get his total income (excluding trade and remote mining), in resources (min, rad & orgs) and research points if you have a T&R.
Good to get a sense of where you are in the ladder if the scores are disabled.

(If you've tweaked the "political setting" in the race setup, it will be miscalculated, but still..)

Actually, you divide. example:

20,000/0.2=100,000
20,000*0.2=4,000

Yes, but I multiply.
He gives me 20000, i Multiply by factor 5 if 20% and get's 100000.
At 17 % I multiply with 100/17 =5.88, so he gives me 20KT at 17 % and thus have 117647 KT from facilities..

(Not really, I just messed up

, I actually divide..)

EDIT:Tanus posted while I wrote, that should teach me to do my work while being in the middle of a post, not tolerable...

More specifically, you give X percent of the resource values displayed in the Scores window (only resources for TA, research for TR, and intelligence for Partnership). The Scores window only display your "own" production, and excludes gains from intelligence, trade, resource conVersion, or remote-mining. It should take into account the "resource generation from empty air" abilities of the 1.91 Version, but I do not know if these are used for trade purposes.

The X above corresponds to the Political Savvy of your partner; if it is only at 50%, they will only get 10% of your "planetary" production, while 120% Political Savvy will result in 24% of your "planetary" production for them.
