.TH Command MULT

.NA mult "Set price multipliers of goods"
|

.LV Expert

.SY "mult <CNUM/CNAME> <NUMBER>"
|
|
The mult command allows a nation to set price multipliers
|
|
of the goods they are selling.
|
|
.sp
|
|
The <CNUM/CNAME> argument is the number or name of the nation
|
|
for which you want to reset the multiplier, and <NUMBER> is
|
|
the new multiplier (a floating-point number). If no
|
|
arguments are given, you are prompted for them. A carriage return
|
|
or incorrect nation at this prompt allows the changing
|
|
of all the price multipliers.
|
|
.sp
|
|
For example, if one nation is a \*Qnice\*U nation,
|
|
and another is particularly unfriendly,
|
|
the price multiplier for the nice one might be 0.75,
|
|
while the \*Qnasty\*U nation might have one around 5.
|
|
.s1
|
|
The price multiplier affects the price of a nation's goods
|
|
to other nations.
|
|
Final item price is determined by multiplying the price
|
|
of the item at the time of the sale by the individual price multiplier
|
|
for the nation buying the item.
|
|
You cannot have a price multiplier below 0.05.
