This is not the *whole* story, because as this is a government policy, that final value might be a bit lower if the policy is not fully implemented yet, plus it may be tweaked up or down slightly depending how competent your minister for public services is, but the principle remains the same. In other words, with the slider at 50%, we are saying we want a 6% boost to the value of our countries education, coming from the AdultEducationSubsidies policy. What would the value of the effect be?įinal Effect = 0.04 + (0.04 * 0.5) = 0.06 So let's say that the AdultEducationSubsides policy has been consistently set to 0.5 for 4 turns. because the effect is an output coming from a policy, the magic value 'x' gets substituted with the current value of the slider for AdultEducationSubsidies.The final value gives us an 'inertia' of 4 for this effect, meaning it averages out over the last 4 values of the slider (in other words it takes up to 4 turns for any slider changes to fully take effect on Education). In this case the target of the effect is Education. which is the very first effect in that spreadsheet, and represents adult education subsidies first effect. Now this may be confusing because is entirely OPTIONAL, and not often included. Some policies have a few effects, some have many, but each effect entry takes up one 'cell' and has the same format which is.

For clarity, the effects are denoted as any column to the right of the '#effects' column, and there can be as many there as you like. Looking at the policies file, you will see a whole bunch of columns in there that load in various bits of data, but towards the end of the list of columns you will see the 'effects' for that policy.
