Game mechanic question

[Grandpa Kim]

I've often wondered why Aaron used thresholds instead of a smooth function for population effects. Isn't it actually less coding to do the math function instead of a series of plateaus? For us, it would remove a little micromanagment and that's a good thing.

You get complete customization with threshholds in Settings.txt rather than some static formula.

Id like to see more interesting maths formulas put into the game actually.

[Fyron]

I'd rather not have such... you can do the interesting math yourself and type them in for the settings. Adding in the ability to enter a mathematical formula for this stuff would take a lot of time, and I would prefer Aaron to not waste time on it and instead work on far more beneficial aspects of the game.

Good point, Fyron, I must admit I never thought of that.
