I was planning to base mine on Siggon's so you will have to wait until after he releases his. My versions are by tradition just LibreOffice versions of Siggon's unless I can think of something to modify.

Alright, fine.

[Mr.Yankees]

I'm pretty familiar with the economic system in the game. Let me know if you guys need any help. I'm glad someone decided to work on this, it was about time.

[EEL123]

Let me know if you guys need any help.

Just look at the formulae and see if any of them don't make sense. I did add a note about taxes viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4772&start=10#p44338.

And BTW, have you seen this: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4870? If you know about the economics stuff, you may be helpful.

Siggon, I thought I might try to make my own calculator, but I don't have the excel skills, so I may have to consult with you.

I actually taught myself - just fool around with it and you learn everything. When you want a formula, you can actually search for it. Before the NPI, I had never used the power (as in indeces or square root) function before.

[EEL123]

Here's my version. Feel free to take a look at it. The formulae are all correct (as far as I know), but it's quite crude and unsophisticated, technically speaking. I'm trying to implement more user-friendly features (such as an intergrated currency converter or Rildanor calculator), so that people don't have to use three calculators at once - it's complicated enough on itself. That way, people will actually want to use it (hopefully)

[EEL123]

It'd be great if any of you were able to copy the file into some other program and edit it, adding all the user-friendly features. But do not tamper with the formulae. They are correct. Then you can publish it for the public.

[Siggon Kristov]

It looks neat.
The user-friendly stuff will compromise the neat stuff, because it will source the information for the user and put it all on a big cluttered page (like how mine was).

The only thing I could do is add the currency converter and the military calculator to it.

I could add a source page for the budget, where the player doesn't have to type in all the budget info himself.

[EEL123]

The only thing I could do is add the currency converter and the military calculator to it.

Yes, that's what I meant. Any maybe the unemployment figures: you enter the population of a region, multiply it by the unemployment rates, do that for every state, add them together, divide by total national population.

it's gonna be hard to put the unemployment rates in a user-friendly feature without cluttering stuff
