Distance Bonuses Decreased Since Latest Patch

[Keshian]

Has anyone else noticed the trade distance bonus being seriously decreased since latest patch?  I have traveled halfway across the map and got around 125%, when I used to be around 250-300% by this point if I had traveled this amount of distance (3 days travel). Is this an intentional new feature to again limit gear quality in strategus or is this a bug?

From the near the border of EU to around the middle of NA, (I would say about Dashbiga to New Dhirim) My trade bonus is currently %358

Also the insta-350% bonus for crossing the EU-NA border seems to have been removed.

Fuck, you mean we took the steppe and sucked all that russian dick for nothing?

You guys should know by now that sucking Russian dick is it's own reward

Voice of experience?  Somehow I don't think it would be that enjoyable.

[Turkhammer]

Let me ask you this, if it isnt enjoyable why does Occitan do it every strat?

Even when there isnt a GOBBLIN King, they simply cant stop 'GOBBLIN' that Russian D

Hmmm, excellent points.

so it's not worth spending one week travelling across the map ?

I have easily reached 300%+ bonus within a day or two with horses, I didnt try to check if the old STB Trade Zone filter is still compatible with the new strategus round.
For various reasons (mainly re-working STB to a new degree, and helping a friend) I have to do some distance test in the next days, I will come back with the results!

It's still accurate up to at least 380-390%, and bonus seems same now as beg of this strat version

I think its still valid, then I am not going anal over it and measuring all distances like some people - but the tradefilter seems ok.

Btw, for the distance tests, talk to En-dotter - he has his own little experiment going which should be helpfull

Thats the friend 

Even if trade filter is okay, it was never 100% accurate even back then. Never figured the formula so all we did was fixed points at regular intervals.
Of course if a developer comes forward and hands us the actual trade distance formula of this round, would be really appreciated!

Buy one good in like 10-15 fiefs of the map, bring them all to the same place, check bonus compared to distance, shouldnt take more

[Vovka]

200*COS((distance*PI()/60)-PI())+150

mb dat not sure
distance in km

[Butan]

200*COS((distance*PI()/60)-PI())+150

mb dat not sure
distance in km

That an old formula posted by a dev back then, or you have found that personaly using maths?

Doing something a little like this right now.
