Military Wage Rate

[CarlSagan]

I know that changing the military wage rate gradually increases or decreases your military efficiency. The question is what is the relationship between the two? If you have a 200% wage rate, will the military efficiency eventually increase to 200% as well?

Checked some older posts and didn't see an answer. Thanks for the help!

max ME from 200% wages is 107.4%

min is like 93-95? somewhere around there

Max wages (200%) ME provides 107.6%. I also believe that 150% wages provides an ME of 105.4% (or something around that figue).

107.4

[Bishop]

nah, its 107.6%

[E_Boko]

if you get hit

[Bishop]

nope

[Scavenger]

Can't be 107.6 if mine drops from 118.1 to 107.5 with no other payment than 200% and no dragons/plague/stance change.
It's 107.4.

[Bishop]

Its 107.6%. If yours is 107.4 it is because it has not risen fully yet.

[DHaran]

It is 107.6% - this is fact. Stop trying to argue it.

Yes, stop arguing it. Here is a copy paste from my Military affairs page:

Our wage rate is 200.0% of normal levels, and our military is functioning at 107.6% efficiency.

Edit: Out of curiosity, where did the determination that double the pay means 7.6% increase or is that something that's been in the game for a long long time and has never been adjusted?

Can't be 107.6 if mine drops from 118.1 to 107.5 ....

Its 107.6%. If yours is 107.4 it is because it has not risen fully yet.

uhum..

[Palem]

Right, you haven't given it enough time to max out to 107.6 before you dropped it back down.

[DHaran]

uhum..

uhum what? It's 107.6%, lol.

[Scavenger]

I saw it drop (= going down) to 107.5 without any changing modifyers, wich I pointed out and Bishop ignored, hence the uhum. Uhum not directed at the actual 107.6, sure that's still true. Just an (for me) unexplainable drop to 107.5. The it's 107.4 remark was to draw an explaination out of Bishop.
