So in my Gitlab-project, I can't understand what "EXP" means, when I try to understand how advanged enemy's weapons are
in the formula
Tech% = BaseTech%+(MaxTech%-BaseTech%)*GvtTech*(1-EXP(-GvtEff*TechPts/(C1+C2*Land)))
found on page. https://wiki.earthempires.com/...x.php/Technology_Formulas

I have written on gitlab in file "goverments.cpp", in fuction GovermentWeaponsTech
(1.0+(1.50*GvtTech-1.00)GvtTech*(1-) TODO

How do I fix this formula?

Okay, so

//std::cout << "military tech " << (1.0+(1.50*GvtTech-1.00)*GvtTech*(exp(2.71828)-1.0*points/(780+5.75*land)) << std::endl;
Where
(1.0+(1.50*GvtTech-1.00)*GvtTech*(exp(2.71828)-1.0*points/(780+5.75*land))

is the value military technology double. (meaning like 1.31 or 1.21, but minimum 1.0)

exp => the exponential function (e to the power of the argument):

@nah1986

1000 * 1. = 1000
1000 * 1.5 = 1500
Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

exp is the function that comprises of Euler's number e raised to a particular number's power. The Exponent function is a particular power series, that is based around a rather classical explanation of The sum of all x to the power of k divided by k factorial such that it is equal to 1 + x + x^2/2 + x^3/6 + x^4/24 + ... and so on to infinity.

if you need a visual.

Also your program needs some help, exp(2.71828) is just e^e, which is a constant and wont do anything for that formula.

you need something like exp(points/..land..etc)

consult the game wiki if you need the formula, it's in pretty easy to read Wiki language for anyone who cares to look.

I got it to work.
