Hi,
Desirability has become more useable in Augustus. Above 50 desirability, houses receive a sentiment bonus capped at their house level. However, it is currently very difficult to optimize this mechanic.
- Players may resort to showtooltip 4, and still it only shows desirability from buildings and doesn't account for waterfront and elevated terrain.
- The desirability overlay should help with this, but it does not bring any clues about relevant desirability values .
The overlay has 10 colors. deep blue is the color for the highest desirability. A building with 22 desirability on its best tile ( according to showtooltip 4 in my test map) appears deep blue.
Besides the tooltip, there is no information about desirability from 23 to 100 (although it would be useful only to 90).
At 90 desirability, a Luxury Palace has the highest sentiment increase from desirability. At 74, a Grand Insula has the highest bonus. Thats far off the 22 showing as deep blue color.
A simple way to fix this system would be to recalibrate the desirability scores for each color, for example:
deep red desirability below 0
pale red desirability 0 to 10
deep orange 10 to 20
pale orange 20 to 30
pale yellow 30 to 40
deep yellow 40 to 50
pale green 50 to 60 (houses start receiving sentiment incentives)
deep green 60 to 70
pale blue 80 to 90
deep blue 90 to 100
What do you think?
Thanks
