the tooltip breakdown is very nice, will help new (and old!) players a lot |

Implemented 10-035b proposal to VP. Replaced rounding down of policy costs down to nearest 5, with down to integer. Both in CPP and VP. Tech costs were already like that. More consistent, accurate and fixes cases where settling extra city causes no policy cost increase cause the increase was more than 1 but less than 5 - less confusing. 1st city counts to policy cost increase just like it already did for tech, both in CPP and VP. More consistent, less confusing for players as this behaviour was not explained anywhere. It's a balance change, but the exclusion for policies only is so arbitrary and hidden i realized it must be changed. Policy and tech penalties can have hundrets of a percent resolution. eg. vanilla and CPP have 7.5% policy penalty and 3.75% tech penalty on Large maps but it gets pruned to 7 and 3% both for actual calc. and UI. Improved top panel tech and policy tooltips to give breakdown and prediction of penalties of settling.

^ forced pushed more consistent naming in tooltips: research cost, science cost and technology cost -> technology cost |
-Exposing the tech divisors, policy discounts and cost increases, and pre-modificatiton base tech and policy cost to lua. -Tooltips showing the divisors, discounts and cost increases and how they modify base costs.

^Added info about tech cost divisors from researching techs known to other civs and from scholars in residence, and policy cost multipliers from picking tenets and stuff like eiffel tower. Future proof for other sources of these effects: |
