Inflation Question

[Derrflinger]

I searched the FAQ forum for inflation and governors but did not find what I was looking for. I understand that Governors reduce inflation, back in the old days, one governor reduced inflation by 1 percent. That is no longer the case. In my game as France, I've promoted quite a few governors, and my inflation is dropping, although quite slowly. There must be a formula for this some where?

Please help!
Thanks!

Oh, I got to infrastructure level 5 in 1502, at that time, it would cost 128,000 to get to level 6. This has been dropping steadily. Needless to say, when I saw that I decided to invest in guns for a while.

If you have governors in every province, they will reduce inflation by 0.25 each year...

so x governors in y total provs reduce infla by (x/y)*0.25 ?

Yes, I think it should be that... but I don't know the exact calculation...

Correct. With the proviso that only provinces with cities are included. TP's and colonies that haven't popped a city yet (pop < 1000) can't build governors and don't get included in the equation.

That makes sense. So I guess I can't get the full .25 until I put a governor in each of the three American provs.

Correct, but you do get some decrease.
