Help: Empire size effect on Tech and Tradition cost modding

[nikkythegreat]

I need help in my mod. Im trying to rebalance the effect of Empire Size on tech and tradition cost.

Currently for every Empire size it increases tech cost by 0.4% and tradition cost by 0.6% in the defines. I want it do increase it by 0.3% and 0.45% respectively but the 0.1% and 0.15% would not be blocked by admin capacity.

I already found the modifier
empire_size = {
rare_edicts_cost_mult = 0.01
}
in the static modifiers.

So guys could you tell me what modifier to place there? "EMPIRE_SIZE_TECH_COST_PENALTY =" and "TECH_COST_PENALTY" doesnt seem to work.

You want this modifier

empire_size_over_cap

in the same file.

Also, what are you trying to do with it? You might not be able to, and I've already tried doing stuff with this...

Not that. Basically I want empire size to increase tech and tradition cost even if you are not beyond administrative capacity.

Yeah, I wanted to do that too.

The modifier to do that does not exist. It has been requested, but did not appear in the 2.8 patch notes.
