| 4 | | - Speed/time modifications: you are right, +20% speed implies a 0.8333 multiplier for the respective time, -20% speed implies a 1.25 multiplier (1). |
| 5 | | - Several techs~~/auras~~ increasing the same stat: increase is determined on base value, not on current value, e.g. two bonuses described as "+20%" mean you have a 100%, 120%, 140% value for your stat (actually +20%, then +16.7%) instead of 100%, 120%, 144% (+20% increase for both). IMO this is not a design question but a question of correctness. "+XX% on base stat" and "+XX%" is a huge difference. Also modify the multiplication operation and not the descriptions because the descriptions would actually depend on the cirumstances of the ~~aura/~~tech usage (if it's currently the only tech/aura for this stat or not). |

| | 7 | Some explanations regarding the maths (I'm no English native, so I hope these terms are still as accurate as intended): |
| 13 | | f_new = (1+20%)*f_old = 1.2*f_old |
| 14 | | t_new = 1/f_new = 1/(1.2*f_old) = 1/(1.2*(1/t_old)) = 0.8333*t_old |
| 15 | | f_new = (1-20%)*f_old = 0.8*f_old |
| 16 | | t_new = 1/f_new = 1/(0.8*f_old) = 1/(0.8*(1/t_old)) = 1.25*t_old |
| | 10 | * f,,new,, = (1+0.2)*f,,old,, = 1.2*f,,old,, |
| | 11 | * t,,new,, = 1/f,,new,, = 1/(1.2*f,,old,,) = 1/(1.2*(1/t,,old,,)) = 0.8333*t,,old,, |
| | 12 | * f,,new,, = (1-0.2)*f,,old,, = 0.8*f,,old,, |
| | 13 | * t,,new,, = 1/f,,new,, = 1/(0.8*f,,old,,) = 1/(0.8*(1/t,,old,,)) = 1.25*t,,old,, |
| 21 | | - f_new = (1+bonus)*f_old = (100%+bonus%)*f_old |
| 22 | | - t_new = (1+bonus)*t_old = (100%+bonus%)*t_old |
| 23 | | - f_new = 100%/((100%+bonus%)*t_old) |
| 24 | | - t_new = 100%/((100%+bonus%)*f_old) |
| | 18 | - f,,new,, = (1+bonus)*f,,old,, = (100%+bonus%)/100%*f,,old,, |
| | 19 | - t,,new,, = (1+bonus)*t,,old,, = (100%+bonus%)/100%*t,,old,, |
| | 20 | - f,,new,, = 1/((1+bonus)*t,,old,,) = 100%/((100%+bonus%)*t,,old,,) |
