"Both empires will gain the economic bonuses of 10% of each other's Trade Value" from the wiki.
Say Empire A have 100 Trade Value and Empire B have 10 Trade Value, does this mean:
The description really doesn't distinguish between which one it would be.
In the example below I have roughly 417,42 Trade Value. 10% = 41,74, with Trade League this is roughly the values shown. They will get 7,02 Trade Value. This implies that scenario 3 is the correct.
However, forming the pact (using Favors), I see no such increase. Doing the math comparing numbers before and after, I gained 3,5 energy and 1,76 Unity and Consumer goods. This implies that scenario 2 is the actual correct one. Hence the description should be changed to "Both empires will gain the economic bonuses of 10% of each the other Empire's Trade Value".
My thought on this is that forming a Commercial pact with another empire is rarely worth it unless they are a Mega Corp or Merchant. Mainly because you're boosting your adversaries. Unless you're trying to grow trust.
Also naturally, the text below in all the dialog and tooltip popups must be corrected to display the correct values.
Say Empire A have 100 Trade Value and Empire B have 10 Trade Value, does this mean:
- Both Empire A and B get each others bonuses for a total of 10% of the other Empire, plus 10% their own. Both will get 11 Trade Value.
- Empire A will get 10% of Empire B's Trade Value; 1 Trade Value. Empire B will get 10% of Empire A's Trade Value; 10 Trade Value.
- Empire A will get 10% of it's own Trade Value; 10 Trade Value. Empire B will get 10% of it's own Trade Value; 1 Trade Value.
