I've been looking at the EarthWiki and the Technology Formulae page and while calculating I came across something that doesn't really make sense to me.
I run a Theo with 20,868 acres and 156,952 MilTech points.
The formula is: Tech% = BaseTech%+(MaxTech%-BaseTech%)*GvtTech*(1-EXP(-GvtEff*TechPts/(C1+C2*Land)))
So my values become:
BaseTech = 100%
MaxTech = 89.16% (according to the page, adjusted for Theo)
GvtTech = 0.65
GvtEff = 1
TechPts = 156952
C1 = 780
C2 = 5.75
Land = 20868
After running that I get: 95.0%.
Earth itself show 92.1%. Hmmm...strange.
After taking a look at the EEstats tech calculator I decided to try something:
change the MaxTech to 83.33 (500/6)
et voila: the result now becomes 92.1!
Am I doing this right? Is there something I'm missing here or is the Wiki page simply wrong?
From my perspective it does look like it.
