==Exploration Costs==
Outdated as of age 54. New formula applied in Age 55 that is not yet known.
===Soldier Cost===
 <b>Exploration Soldier Cost =</b> ''ROUND'' (3 + Metric/210 * Race * Personality * Stance)

===GC Costs===
 <b>Exploration Gold Cost =</b> ''Floor'' ((600 +  2.3 * Metric) * Race * Personality * Stance * Mills)

where

 <b>Metric       =</b> ( Full Metric + Half Metric )<sup>1.12</sup>
 
 <b>Full Metric  =</b> Total Land - 300
 
 <b>Half Metric  =</b> ''MIN'' (Full Metric / 2 , [Land Explored - Land Lost] / 2)

==Construction==
===Construction Time===
 <b>Construction Time =</b> 16 * Personality Mod * Builders Boon * Double Speed * Fortified

===Raze Costs===
 <b>Raze Costs =</b> 350 + (0.0625 * Total land)

==Buildings==
===Building Efficiency===
 <b>Available Workers         = </b> Peasants + ''ROUNDDOWN'' ( Prisoners / 2 )
 
 <b>Optimal Workers           = </b> ''ROUNDDOWN'' ( Total Jobs * 0.67 )
 
 % <b>Jobs Performed          = </b> ''MIN'' ( Available Workers / Optimal Workers '','' 1 )
 
 <b>Building Efficiency       = </b> [ (0.5 * (1 + % Jobs Performed)) * Race * Stance * Science * Dragon ]  + Personality

* The "Current Available Workers" value, provided by the Internal Affairs Adviser page, already takes prisoners into account.
* Building Efficiency affects all [[Buildings#Classes_of_Buildings|Flat Rate]] and [[Buildings#Classes_of_Buildings|Percentage-Based]] buildings.
* Building Efficiency has '''NO''' effect on Capacity component of Capacity Buildings as well as [[Buildings#Libraries|Libraries]].


 <b>Building Efficiency Change Rate  = </b> Formula
* Changes in Building Efficiency take effect gradually.

=== Building Effects ===
 <b>[[Buildings#Classes_of_Buildings|Percentage Based Buildings]] =</b> Base Effect * BE * Max(50%, % of building) * (100% - Max(50%, % of building))
 <br>
 <b>[[Buildings#Classes_of_Buildings|Flat Rate Buildings]] =</b> Base Effect * Number of Buildings * BE * Monarchy Bonus * Science
* Max Effect of a %-Based Building is 25 x Base Effect
* If your BE is less than 100%, the effect you would have with 50% of that building is the maximum.
* If you have less than 100% BE, additional buildings past 50% will have no effect.

* Shipyards: 1.5% chance of creating a boat, holds 5 boats per shipyard. 1 boat was needed per 100 troops sent to attack someone on another island.
* Universities: Produced 3 science points per acre
* Taverns: Lowered draft costs and mercenary costs
* Plazas: Employed extra peasants
* Strongholds: Increased OME (now Training Grounds)
* Mines: Produced a certain number of per acre
