What is the current LG yields formula? More specifically the NW factor in it?

Target Acres * .075 * PS bonus * mil strat tech * tyr bonus * NW factor = land gained

I know that the NW factor = 1 at 95% of targets NW but I can't figure out the actual formula for it the NW factor.

LMAO@Xin

its true what Xin said, there are many factors on lg yields formula and only admins know those, rest can only speculate what those are.

The only factors not known is the NW factor. Boxcar has it built in to the estimator (and its fairly accurate) but I am awful and reverse engineering algorithms from data.

I'll give it another go though.

The built-in estimator in Boxcar uses a formula provided by Hanlong to Pang (approximated from hundreds of his own landgrabs to best-fit curve a formula). To be specific, Pang did not want to use the in-game formula.

It is indeed accurate enough for all governments except Tyranny (it's wildly off by 5-15% less).
