ah, I understand
just noticed an added benefit is that if you win efficiently, you lose less to tribute than with the previous system
yeah, I mean the idea was one doubles a value. If that change was too strong then one knew it was somewhere in between. If the changed was minimal or insignificant, you'd double again and repeat. That way you're controlling for relative effects of the change (the new value is always twice as high) while testing the absolute effects.
In this case, on would go from 1 to 2 and, judging from what you said that 3 has had no effect, then again from 2 to 4. Then to 8 if 4 had no effect. Then if 8's to high, you know it's between 4 and 8. If you just kinda eyeball it and aim for intermediate values, it can sometimes be tough to know if your at your desired spot or just below it.
the Sid Meier principle of game balancing is to double a value and see what happens. Tripling in this case seems extreme, but we'll see.
