relative_manpower ?

[PAW]

Hello,

I found this in some of the .inc files like USA, GER, JAP etc., can someone explain what it really does?

from Modding Docs
relative_manpower value = [%] # Add a percentage of [yearly national manpower income * 50] to the pool

What does this actually do?

Thx,
PAW

Are you using a mod?

I'm guessing it's used to reduce the manpower output in a similar way to the IC modifier.

Imperial Zenith has these entries.

Imperial Zenith has these entries.

Unfortunately, I've never played that mod. I'm mostly just a developer nowadays and so my knowledge will be limited based on what problems I've had to overcome in developing my own mod. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Maybe you should ask the owner of Imperial Zenith.

What does this actually do?

A positive value increases manpower growth. A negative value decreases manpower growth.
It's used in medical techs, among other things.

To elaborate how it works:
- a country has a daily increase of manpower of 0,0056 with already researched medical techs giving 104% manpower growth (visible in Research -> Overview tab).
- a command of "type = relative_manpower value = 5" is applied. Thus 104% manpower growth modifier is increased to 109%.
- 0,0056 / 104 * 109 = 0,00586... A new value of daily increase of manpower. The game doesn't display anything past 4th number after the comma, so you would see 0,0058 on-screen.

- Alternatively, a command of ""type = relative_manpower value = 100" is applied. Thus 104% manpower growth modifier is increased to 204%.
- 0,0056 / 104 * 204 = 0,01098... That's the new value of daily manpower increase. Again, you'll only see 0,0109 on-screen.
